Uncle Grant and I
The university's group physical education exam came and went, and because I hadn't trained at all, I failed it.
I didn't dare sign up for the retake, so I just hid in my rental apartment, pretending not to see or know anything.
When Uncle Grant heard about it, he came to find me at the apartment. "Carmen, you can't go on like this. Don't be scared, I'll help you."
Uncle Grant was my dad's friend. After my parents died in a car accident five years ago, he was the one who paid for my education. He lived alone, and we leaned on each other.
