The line of students doing their mathematics worksheets came to a halt, as all eyes darted between my mother and me.I stepped out from the crowd. How could my mother ever allow me to study math? How could she stand to see me win math awards?"Miss Anderson, have you forgotten? You were the one who kicked me out of the house!""It's normal for mothers and daughters to have friction. Let bygones be bygones. Don't make a scene."Deflection was my mother's go-to tactic.With those words, bystanders would start trying to mediate, as if our rift was due to my disobedience.No one knew how hard it had been for me just to survive all these years.And no one knew that only at times like this would she call herself my mother.But this time was different.Miss Hudson, out of breath, ran from the front of the line and shielded me behind her."Quincy, you ungrateful wretch! I'm telling you, if you don't come back with me today, you'll never be able to take the examination!""I won't giv

The sensation in my right hand was fading, and I struggled to push my mother away before stumbling forward. Weak from blood loss, I collapsed onto the ground face-first. Step by step, my mother approached with a brick in hand, a disturbing smile on her face. Just as I thought my right hand was beyond saving, a group of passing college students noticed my predicament. Seeing them, my mother stopped, pretending nothing had happened. She walked back to her bike and quickly fled the scene. Fortunately, these students happened to be medical students and quickly called 911 while providing me with basic first aid. Thanks to their efforts, my hand was saved, but it would take some time before I could use it again.Miss Hudson rushed over, her eyes turning red at the sight of my cast. However, she held back her tears, knowing that I would be devastated to miss the competition I had worked so hard for. The anesthesia had not yet worn off, making speaking difficult for me. "M

After the league competition, Miss Hudson arranged for me to stay at a secret location that only she and I knew about.My education transitioned to online learning.I couldn't afford to have any more accidents.When the results were announced, it was inevitable that my mother would discover I was left-handed.Sure enough, on the day the results were announced, teachers in the office congratulated my mother.Of course, she didn't believe it."Nonsense. Quincy's right hand was broken. How could she write? You must have misread," she said to the teachers.A teacher immediately led my mother over, comparing details from school to other specifics."Look, did I misread anything? Your Quincy is truly a genius," the teacher said.My mother swayed unsteadily, muttering, "No, no, that's not right."She approached the education bureau and officials again, this time reporting suspicions that Miss Hudson's institute had bought placements.After a period of investigation, the institute wa

I saw my father for the first time sitting nervously in the reception room, occasionally wiping his sweaty palms on his pants.It was the first time I'd seen him with a smile.As soon as I entered, he handed me a box of milk he had bought."Quincy, Dad wants to discuss something with you. Your sister is struggling with math. I was wondering if you could tutor her if you have time."I looked up, confused.Wasn't my father a math teacher? Why would he need me to tutor my sister?Father awkwardly ran his fingers through his thinning hair."You know how it is with family. I can't teach your sister well. I can't bring myself to be strict with her."My heart sank.When I was little, Father had chased me out of the house with a broom.He'd thrown rocks at me and hurled the vilest insults.I knew if I hadn't won that gold medal, he wouldn't even call himself my father.Miss Hudson was right. After I won the gold, everyone suddenly became nice.I declined Father's request. Perhaps

From my earliest memories, my mother dragged me along to confront my dad, using me as a tool to try to bind him down."That night was a mistake. Why did you keep this child without telling me?"Even if you had her, I'll never acknowledge her!"Mom viciously pinched my arm. I cried out in pain."She's your daughter. How can you be so cruel?""You're the cruel one! There was never any love between us. Using a child won't make us happy.

Why are you so much like him?"So what if you're like your father? He won't love you either!"Are you trying to upset me on purpose?
