Why the Top Scorer Kept Failing Chapter 7
My parents froze, then scrambled to defend themselves."Chloe, what are you talking about? We're your parents! We love you and would never hurt you!""You're our daughter. No parent would ever harm their own child!"They spoke with righteous certainty, as if their words couldn't be questioned.In the past, I might have believed them. But now, I just felt utterly crushed.Even though I had parents, I'd never felt more alone. I didn't want to pretend with them anymore. I tore away their lies.I laughed, loud and bitter, every word dripping with anger and pain."I used to wonder why, even though I was a top scorer on the SAT, no university would accept me. Now I finally understand. No matter how high my scores were, no matter how many top universities would have accepted me, you sold every single spot to someone else."I reached under my pillow and pulled out two IDs, then slammed them down in front of my parents."You never loved me!"One ID was from before I turned nine, with

I was the only person in the country who got that score. My parents were ecstatic, and I was just as thrilled.The day I filled out my applications, my parents were so happy that they pulled me into a hug, their eyes shining."Chloe, you're going to get into a top university this time!""You're the only one in the country with a score this high. Every school will be fighting to take you!"I looked at them seriously and asked, "Mom, Dad, which university do you want me to go to?"My mother thought for a moment. "I'd like you to aim for Westbridge University."My father said, "I vote for Northfield University."In the end, they told me it didn't matter what I chose. They would support me no matter what.Seeing how happy they were, I added both Westbridge University and Northfield University to my list right in front of them.After that, all that was left was waiting.By the time early decisions and regular admissions were finished, I was lying in my room playing video games.I

A month later, I finally had a break. I decided to go home, bringing groceries for my parents.The moment I stepped through the door, they came running, faces full of excitement. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at me."Chloe, your mom and I found a SAT prep academy for you. You can give it another shot."They were worried I'd refuse, so they kept persuading me, talking over each other, trying everything they could."Chloe, we only want what's best for you. Kids from families like ours don't have the advantages rich kids do. Education is the only way out of this town.""Just listen to us and give it one more shot. Don't worry about money. We have it covered."I knew the truth.After three failed attempts to get into university as a state top student, I had been quietly rejected by most reputable prep programs. The better ones had very limited spots and cared a lot about acceptance rates. Someone like me wasn't exactly desirable.I could tell my parents had worked hard to find

Still, no school would take me.I had nowhere to go and became the talk of the town. Unlike before, I didn't cry or throw tantrums. I kept a calm exterior.Worried that the repeated setbacks might break me, my mother stayed by my side every night, using gentle words to lift my spirits. My father, too, did everything he could to cheer me up.They encouraged me to give it another shot."Chloe, don't be sad. Your dad and I will support you if you want to try again," Mom said."Yeah, Chloe. Don't worry about money. We've got you covered. You can do it," Dad added."No matter what, we'll stick by you until you get into university," Mom said firmly.I looked at them and shook my head with a smile. "Mom, Dad, don't worry about me. I'm not going to do it again."They thought I was afraid of the financial burden and tried to reason with me over and over.But I refused.After all the ups and downs, the hope and disappointment, I was mentally and physically exhausted.I knew the truth.

The administrator stared at the acceptance letter, frozen. Two minutes later, he looked up at me and asked, "Chloe Chesson? Is that your full name?"A chill ran down my spine. I had a bad feeling about this.Before I could answer, my parents spoke up.The administrator staggered slightly at their response. He motioned for the people outside to quiet down, and the hall went completely silent.Seeing this, my parents grew worried. They turned toward me, but I didn't look back.My eyes were locked on him as he said coldly, "I'm sorry. Our school can't accept you. I'll have to report this to admissions and have your acceptance rescinded."My head started buzzing. Dizziness washed over me, and I nearly lost my balance.Thankfully, my parents caught me in time.I looked straight at the administrator and asked, slowly and clearly, "I want a clear explanation. Your school already accepted me. You can't just take back my offer without an explanation."My hands clenched tightly, nails d

My mother's eyes were bloodshot as she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of the Crestwood University admissions officer.She trembled as she begged, "Please, sir, I'm begging you! Let my daughter go to university. We'll figure out the money—whatever it takes!"The admissions officer didn't even flinch.My mother threw herself to the floor, scraping her forehead, and grabbed his pant leg.Her cries choked her words as she sobbed, "Please, sir, she can't miss this chance. My husband and I have worked ourselves to the bone, and our greatest wish is to give our daughter a better life. Don't let her suffer like we did. Please have mercy!"My father dropped to his knees as well.His back was bent with age and labor. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and offered one to the admissions officer with trembling hands."Sir, I may not be educated, but my daughter is the top student. She has to go to university! If she doesn't, her whole future will be ruined.
