  1. 5

After school, I didn’t go back to the 

Johnson’s. Instead, I walked back to my old 

place

Standing outside, I smoked and watched the 

く 

woman inside, passed out on the floor

She was probably drunk again, trying to 

forget her problems

I kicked the door open, but she didn’t even 

wake up, her face red and snoring loudly

I went to the balcony. My corner was a wreck

I moved a dead houseplant and grabbed the 

thing I always hid underneath

A crooked drawing of three people

I carefully folded it and put it in my bag

I glanced at Heather Smith one last time, then 

looked at the place I’d lived in for 17 years.

left without a second thought

I went to a junkyard

A middleaged couple was busy sorting 

through trash. A young boy was doing his 

homework by a dim light

Next to him was a little girl, playing with her 

toys without bothering her brother

Suddenly, she saw me, her eyes lit up, and 

she started to run over

I ducked away, leaving only a cigarette butt 

on the ground

I quickly heard a confused voice

Ashley, what’s wrong?” 

I watched the little girl pointing and trying to 

speak, but nothing came out

The boy looked at the cigarette butt, then gently patted her head and led her back 

inside

I watched for a while, then went back to the 

Johnson’s

Mom asked why I was so late, but I ignored 

her

Ashley told Mom that she’d gotten the best 

grade in the year on her test

We were both seniors. I was at the bottom

but she was at the top

Seeing Mom’s happiness, I laid down on the 

couch, remembering when I was a kid

Moms always liked good kids who got good 

grades

So, after I got the top mark in the class,

happily showed the certificate to Heather Smith

I thought if Mom saw that I was top in the class, she wouldn’t hit me or let me starve. But she wasn’t my real mom

Heather flew off the handle and grabbed my 

arm, cursing me

Why’d you get the top grade? You don’t 

deserve it!” 

So, I was always at the bottom

It made Heather happy

When she was happy, I got to eat, and I didn’t 

get beat

But it was time for her to face the music

The night before the results came out for the 

second test, Ashley finally snapped

Wearing pajamas, she pulled me aside at her 

bedroom door

Harmony, can I ask you something?” 

I raised an eyebrow and followed her into her 

room

There was a maid cleaning

Ashley asked me hesitantly in front of the 

huge window

Can you let go of what my mom did?” 

I laughed

Why should I?” 

She bit her lip, looking like she was about to 

cry

Exams are coming up. If my mom gets in 

trouble, it’ll hurt me.” 

She grabbed my hand, like she was begging

I tried to pull away, but she wouldn’t let go

Suddenly, she grabbed my hand and pushed 

herself

Even I was shocked at how hard she went

The window shattered, and Ashley fell

But she gave me a smile that was gone as 

fast as it came

She fell from the second floor into the 

garden, and the white flowers around her 

looked like they were soaking up her blood. The gardener screamed, and the maid 

screamed

The Johnsons ran to the garden. The maid pointed at me and said

She did it! I think they were arguing about 

the other girl’s mom, and I saw her push Ashley!” 

Mom screamed and hugged Ashley, who was 

unconscious. Josh and the others called 911

My dad slapped me hard

My ear rang, and my mouth filled with blood

He yelled

Harmony, you’re still a hoodlum! You’ll never 

change!”
