Scheming Sisters Ch 2

Scheming Sisters Ch 2

When we got back, Sarah had stopped crying. She even gave me a fakey smile when we 

walked in the door

く 

You’re sisters,Mom said. Sarah 

apologized. Let it go.” 

Sarah smiled even wider

Sorry, Ashley! I shouldn’t have taken your 

bunny.” 

She was all smiles

But I saw that glint in her eye

Sure enough, when I got back to my room

The stuffed bunny was in pieces

Scattered across my desk, like a warning

It didn’t take a genius to figure out who had 

done it

In my last life, that’s just how Sarah was

If she couldn’t have something, neither could 

Sarah followed me inside

If you tell Mom and Dad, I’ll tell them you 

tried to stab me with that knife.” 

She held up a little craft knife, pressing the 

blade against her palm

I almost laughed

Some people were just born bad

I used to think Mom had spoiled her, but it 

was more than that

It’s okay, sis,I said, copying her sweet tone

Dad bought me a new one.” 

I pulled the identical bunny out of the bag

If you want to play with it, you can.” 

Sarah’s smile faltered

She hadn’t expected me to use her own tricks 

against her

Also,I said, getting closer. Little kids 

shouldn’t play with knives. It’s dangerous.” 

Then, before she could react, I grabbed her 

く 

She gasped and struggled

The blade sliced across my hand

Her eyes widened with panic

I blinked back tears, and screamed

Mom! Dad! Sarah cut up my bunny and tried 

to stab me with a knife! Wahhh!” 

From that point on, Sarah kept her distance 

for a while

She was still a little kid, after all

I was better at acting, and knew how to stop 

her right before she was about to start

But as we spent more time together

I started to notice things I hadn’t before

At daycare, she tried to get the other kids to 

ignore me

She lied to the teachers about things I hadn’t 

done

く 

It was like she had a natural talent for being 

evil

Sometimes I wondered if the thing she had 

done to get me in trouble in my first life really 

was an accident

Mom still liked her better

But after the bunny incidents, she started 

being a little more nice to me, at least in 

public

Things went on like that until elementary 

school, when something happened that turned 

things upside down again

It was a choice that would change everything

A friend of Dad’s offered him a spot for us at 

a fancy private school

But there was only one opening

く 

Mom wanted to give it to Sarah, no question

I was supposed to get sent to the regular 

public school

This time, Mom was ready to give it to Sarah 

again

But Dad asked us what we wanted

When Sarah heard fancy school,she started 

begging

Best Daddy ever!” 

Mommy, I want to go!” 

Ashley, what about you?Dad asked

II paused, playing like I wanted to go too

I don’t want to make Mom and Dad work too 

hard” 

Dad stared at me

Mom frowned

The happy mood was gone

Sarah didn’t notice anything was wrong

I want to go! Daddy, I want to go!” 

Okay, everyone, let’s eat,Dad said

He ended the conversation

I thought they’d make the same decision they 

had before

Until September, right before school started

Dad put two acceptance letters on the table

He didn’t say anything. But I remembered 

something he and Mom had been fighting 

about a few days earlier

Mom wasn’t working. So if we both went to 

that school, money would be tight

く 

Mom wanted to send Sarah to private school 

and me to public school

Dad had said, You can’t be so obvious with 

your favoritism.” 

Mom stammered and said

I just don’t want the children to have to work 

so hard to get things.” 

Why not send them to public school? Then 

we won’t have to work hard?” 

“I can’t. A lot of Sarah’s friends are going to 

private school.” 

I didn’t hear what they said after that

Even though I was used to Mom choosing 

Sarah, it still hurt

But I didn’t think Dad would actually argue 

with her

He usually did whatever she wanted. He must 

have had connections

Since we were both going to the same 

school, I could change the ending

Once we started elementary school, Sarah 

was careful around me

But at school, she was still the queen bee

like before

We lived like that for three years

Then, in third grade, something happened 

that changed everything

Right after Sarah and I turned ten, Mom 

wanted a divorce

Dad was out of town, but when he tried to 

come home, he was in a car accident

For the past three years, Mom and Dad had 

been fighting like they had before

Dad was always working late

Mom thought he was cheating on her

Plus, she was always favoring Sarah

They were always fighting

It had gotten to the point where they couldn’t 

stand each other
