Chapter 11
Anyway, they hadn't settled on a school yet.
Emmitt's eyes danced with curiosity as he observed his sister's calm demeanor.
Was she serious about having chosen a school?
Mirabella shifted lazily in her seat, crossing her legs as she spoke with an
indifferent tone, “Parkside High School.”
At her words, a bemused expression quickly surfaced on Summer's face. She
turned her head to Mirabella, “Parkside High School? Like, the Parkside High
School downtown?”
Mirabella just hummed an affirmation, still nonchalant.
Summer couldn’t help but feel like she'd just heard the world’s biggest joke.
Auburn High School would have been believable, but Parkside High School?
That was a stretch. Known as the city’s top-tier high school, nationally ranked in
the top five, it was a breeding ground for the cream of the academic crop. The
idea seemed ludicrous, considering Mirabella’s past performance required a
generous donation to even get her into a decent local school. A snicker flickered
in Summer's eyes as she thought of her sister's grand delusions.
“The bar at Parkside High isn’t exactly low,” Summer said with a smirk.
Emmitt, sensing his sister might be getting in over her head and wanting to save
her from embarrassment in front of Summer, cleared his throat and interjected,
“Let's discuss the school situation with Mom and Dad back home before making
any decisions.”
Knowing that Emmitt was trying to give Mirabella an out, Summer dropped her
gaze and decided not to pursue the topic any further. “If you need help, just say
the word. My dad knows several principals around town. A quick call and you're
all set.”
Emmitt reached out to tune the car stereo, casually acknowledging her offer with
a non—committal “yeah.”
Mirabella’s fingers tapped rhythmically on her thigh as she gazed out of the car
window, too laid-back to engage any further. Her eyes took in the cityscape
outside—the hustle and bustle, the dazzling neon lights, and the colorful nightlife
that underscored the city’s vibrancy, a far cry from some quaint backwater town.
Before long, the car pulled into an older residential complex. It was clear from the
surroundings that it had seen better days. The Davis family owned a top-floor
duplex in the building, an advantage of the older, low-rise architecture. Mr. and
Mrs. Davis were already waiting at the door, exchanging nervous glances as they
heard the elevator ding. Their eyes fixed eagerly on the elevator doors.
Emmitt and Summer emerged first, followed by Mirabella.
“Mom, Dad, we've got Mira back.” Summer announced sweetly.

Summer's smile stiffened
momentarily as she realized she'd
been blatantly overlooked. Davis
family wasn't wealthy. but Summer
was the cherished youngest
daughter, a position now seemingly
threatened by Mirabella’s return.
Despite her disdain for such
favoritism, Summer suppressed her
irritation as something else crossed
her mind. Delilah approached
Mirabella, her expression becoming
distant as she surveyed the girl who
bore such a striking resemblance to
herself. Her gaze shifted between
Mirabella and Summer, emotions
flooding her heart. The content is on
