26 Graduation Day 6 (2/2)
However, that night Emma came into her room and was about to shave her head when she woke up from the noise and kicked at her jealous younger sister. Of course, that wasn't how her Father and stepmother viewed the incident. They saw it as their jealous older daughter who they both resented taking out her anger on her younger sister.
It was only made worse when Emma started crying and said that she had kicked her down and then was about to shave her head.
Shortly after that night, her father sent her to boarding school in South Korea in order to ”teach her everything she needed to know to succeed.” Thought he had referred to it as boarding school, it was in truth her being taught privately by several harsh tutors. She had spent the majority of her life in that school, being lectured day and night on proper behaviors and topics far too advanced for someone her age.
Eventually, on her 16th birthday, she managed to complete all of the courses that the awful school and her father wanted her to complete, and enrolled in Maple-leaf academy. From then until August 7th, 2018, her 18th birthday she had never once spoken to her father. On her 18th birthday, her father had called her to inform her that he had calculated that she owed him $4,530,000.
Apparently, he had been keeping a tab of every dollar her spent on her and if she didn't pay him back, he would publicly disown her ”like the disgrace she was.” Even now, she still had no idea what she had ever done to make him so hateful towards her.
Lost in her memories, she didn't notice that they had attempted to speak to her until she felt someone shake her and heard Emma call out to her.
”Older sister? Are you listening?”
Aria shook her head feeling guilty for not listening to what they had been saying. ”No, sorry...”
”Oh, well, I asked what you were doing here.” Emma blinked her eyes and seamlessly slipped into her role of the innocent and caring younger sister.
”I'm having dinner with the girl who was my roommate, Aika Suzuki, and her parents...” Aria spoke quickly and quietly, wanting to leave already.
