Kapitel 50: Swapping Places

It felt like our parents only ever saw her and her achievements. She would always receive praise while I would be blamed for not being good enough. That was why when it happened, I was so confused and didn’t quite know how to take it. It was a normal evening after we had both returned home from school. Just as scheduled, our art instructor was there to give us supplementary water painting classes.

“You’re such a fast learner, Diana. I truly believe you have a gift,” the teacher said to me before showing me a bright smile.
