Chapter 1

When Dad heard the choice I made, he looked at me in surprise."Tam, don't you usually butt heads with that Muller kid? You sure you want to choose him as your brother? Think carefully. Once it's official, he'll be family for life."My dad was a big deal in the military district. Anyone who joined our family basically got a fast pass to the top.Ms. Carrie Sutton, George Greenberg's distant aunt, quickly stepped in."Tam, George just has temporary amnesia. He doesn't remember you right now, but didn't you love playing with him? Why don't we wait a few days? Maybe his memory will come back."Mom scoffed loudly in my head."What nonsense! In your past life, that little girl from the Rogers family tore your favorite bow. You barely said anything, yet George locked you outside. "You stood in the rain for so long you almost got sick. In the end, it was that Muller boy who came looking for you with an umbrella. He kept saying 'what a hassle', but still draped his coat over you."Hea

I looked at George's indifferent expression. If Mom hadn't warned me, I probably would've believed him again.In the past, I used to trust him so much. I really thought he liked being friends with me.I still remembered my birthday three years ago. He gathered all the kids around to sing the birthday song for me, his eyes shining as he said, "Tam, I'll protect you forever."At that moment, I was so touched I nearly cried. From then on, I followed him everywhere.I never imagined he actually preferred playing with Ariana all along. He'd only been nice to me because of my dad.And now? He was just pretending to have amnesia so that he could openly say he liked being with Ariana, while still agreeing to "take care of me" so that Dad would adopt him.As if things were that simple.What a jerk.I held back from exposing him and thought that I would let him enjoy himself for two more days. Honestly, I really wanted to see the look on his face when he heard Dad's announcement in perso

Chapter 3

Ariana raised her hand like she was about to hit herself, but George quickly stopped her. He shot me an angry look."Tamsin, she already apologized. Can you stop making a big deal out of this?"Mom got even angrier in my head. "That little brat! My girl hasn't said a single word, and this whole thing is just that little actress putting on a show. Sweetheart, don't you let this slide again!"I had always listened to Mom. So I raised my hand and shoved Ariana hard. Then I looked at George. "This is what 'making a big deal' looks like. My mom taught me that."Sitting on the ground, Ariana was completely stunned.George was just as shocked. A flicker of anger showed on his young face. "Tamsin, you…"I then shoved him too. "This is what crossing the line looks like."Ever since I'd known him, I had always gone along with whatever he wanted. I had never pushed back.That one move completely threw him off.George stared at me in disbelief, his face flushing red with anger. "Fine. F

Chapter 4

Even if he didn't like playing with me anymore, we had grown up together. When things got dangerous, why wouldn't he even help me?Suddenly, someone rushed over and kicked the older boy away from me.Clyde pulled me to my feet and shielded me as he hurried me toward the school building. "Let's go!"By the time the teachers arrived and broke up the fight, I was still shaken. Sitting by the flower bed, I trembled.Clyde silently handed me a bottle of water, his expression complicated.I noticed his sleeve had been torn open during the chaos, revealing a scar underneath."Your arm…" I said softly.He quickly pulled his sleeve down. "It's nothing. Drink some water." I thanked him quietly, warmth rising in my chest.The incident quickly reached Dad. He was furious and went straight to confront the families of those boys.The Rogers family immediately grounded Ariana at home as punishment and even sent over a box of imported chocolates as an apology.That night, George came to se

"My brother is Clyde Muller!"The hall went so quiet one could've heard a pin drop.Trevor's jaw fell open. "Tam, did you say that wrong? Aren't you always closest with George?"The other kids immediately started whispering."Yeah, she even has a matching keychain with George on her backpack!""I'm choosing Clyde!" I said louder, my voice still childish but firm.I took out a small red brooch embroidered with a protective charm. "This was a charm my mom got for me before she passed. I'm giving it to the brother I chose."I walked quickly over to Clyde and held it out to him.Clyde froze. His hands trembled slightly, and he didn't take it right away.My heart jumped into my throat. "You don't want to be my brother?"After a moment of silence, a warm smile spread across his face. "It's my honor."He carefully accepted the brooch, pinned it neatly to his uniform, and gave my dad a proper salute.Only then did I finally breathe well again.The other kids rushed over, talking a

I ignored George and chatted briefly with a few kids who came to congratulate me. Then, I slung my backpack over my shoulder and headed out.Just as I reached the entrance, someone grabbed my backpack strap.I turned around. It was George, his face tight with frustration."Why did you pick Clyde? Since when were you two that close?" he demanded. I shook his hand off. "What does it have to do with you? Who I choose as my brother is my decision."George bit his lip. "But… aren't we best friends? Don't you always like playing with me the most?"I frowned. "Didn't you say you lost your memory and that you only remember being close to Ariana? You even told me not to interfere when you two hang out. Remember?"Those were his own words. So why did he look so upset now, like he'd lost something important?George hesitated, then muttered, "I just… I think I still want to be friends with you. Maybe if we spend more time together, I'll remember everything…""He's lying! He's still lying

Chapter 7

Before I could finish, Clyde suddenly pulled me into a gentle hug. His voice was soft. "I want to be your brother."The evening breeze brushed past our hair, and the setting sun stretched our shadows long across the ground.I knew that from this moment on, I wasn't the little "tagalong" trailing behind George anymore.The day Clyde and I would officially become siblings was set for next Monday. Ever since the announcement in the hall, we had grown noticeably closer. After school today, he invited me to check out a newly opened dessert shop, and I happily agreed. But the moment we walked into the mall, we ran into two familiar figures.Seeing Clyde beside me, George's expression immediately darkened. "Why are you two together?"Clyde lifted his chin, unfazed. "If you two can go shopping for stationery together, why can't my sister and I get dessert?"He emphasized the words "my sister", and George's face instantly soured."We just ran into each other!" George said quickly.It

George was clearly provoked. Being young, he lost his temper and snatched the tumbler, throwing it straight at Clyde.My anger flared instantly, and I shoved George aside. "Do you have to cause trouble?"George rushed to defend himself. "It wasn't me! He was the one who didn't hold his tumbler properly…"I ignored him and turned to Clyde, my heart aching at the sight of his wet sleeve. I quickly grabbed some tissues and started wiping it dry.George said in an uncertain voice, "Tam… My clothes are wet too…"I looked up, my eyes blazing. "Leave. Right now!"George opened his mouth like he wanted to argue, but something in my expression made him stop. In the end, he clenched his jaw and walked away unwillingly.…The days leading up to the ceremony went smoothly.When Clyde and I went to pick out gifts, Mom's voice chimed happily in my head. "Pick something special! My girl deserves the best!"We chose new outfits together, and Mom kept praising how good everything looked on me
