Chapter 15

Brooke transferred schools.
Some people said her life was ruined.
I did not agree.
Her life changed because she hurt someone and got caught.

Ruined is what could have happened if I had fallen wrong.
Ruined is losing a scholarship because someone decided your pain was useful.
Ruined is being told your mother’s sacrifice makes you less worthy.
Brooke still had money.
Parents.
Options.
I had a scar under my foot.
Small.

Almost invisible.
