He Erased My Dream School For Her, I Already Had A Better One Chapter 03

He Erased My Dream School For Her, I Alraedy Had A Better One Chapter 03

Early the next morning. I was packing when Grant let himself 

in with the door code. 

He had brought my favorite chicken tortilla soup. 

Whenever we fought, this was how he tried to make up with me. 

When I showed no reaction, he opened the container himself 

and held it out to me. 

The soup was topped with cilantro. 

I never ate cilantro. 

I heard movement at the front door again. 

Nora punched in the code and walked straight inside. 

Grant was the only person I had ever given that code to. 

She hurried to the table, snatched the soup out of Grant’s 

hands, and replaced it with another container that had no cilantro. 

*Grant, you were in such a rush to come make up with 

Clementine that you grabbed my leftovers by mistake!” 

Then she pulled a thick stack of papers from her backpack. 

“Clementine, this is the college–admissions prep packet Grant 

stayed up late putting together for me. You’ll definitely be 

able to use it during your gap year!” 

My gaze swept over the stack. 

My notebook was wedged between the pages. 

It contained all the raw data for the patented invention I’d, 

entered in the competition. 

I reached for it, but Nora deliberately knocked over the soup. 

the notebook 

Broth poured straight across the notebook. 

I instinctively tried to block it, but I was too late. 

Nora grabbed the soaked notebook first, gave the cover a few 

careless wipes, and handed it back to me. 

The instant I took hold of it, she twisted hard in the opposite direction. 

The notebook tore apart. 

Grant visibly panicked, but even then, his first instinct was to 

shield Nora behind him. 

*Clementine… Nora didn’t mean to do it. Just let it go this time.” 

Nora hid timidly behind him. 

Fury surged through me, and I slapped Grant hard across the face. 

That notebook had all my original development notes for 

the patented invention!” 

“What gives you the right to tell me to let it go?” 

Her eyes instantly filled with tears. 

I’m sorry, Clementine. It’s all my fault. Please don’t blame Grant!” 

You can explain that to the police.” 

pulled away from her and took out my phone to call them. 

Nora seized my hand and used it to slap herself across the 

face again and again. 

“I really didn’t mean to do it! I know you’re upset about 

having to take a gap year, but I can’t have something like this 

on my record. I still have to go to Summit Tech!” 

Grant grabbed me and yanked me away from her, his face 

twisted with anger. 

Do you seriously have to drag this out over something so small?” 

“Nora already apologized. It’s just a notebook. What could 

possibly be so important about it? Are you not going to stop 

until you’ve ruined her life?” 

I scoffed. 

Sure, It was just a useless notebook. 

After enrollment, Summit Tech would require the original 

records behind the competition invention for verification. 

And I wasn’t the one who would have trouble producing them.
