The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 916

The woman held her daughter's hand tightly and had a pained look on her face. She sighed deeply, then began to weep, "Marissa, here's what happened. We're locals from Sunshine Village. Once upon a time, my daughter Rosie and Ellinor were schoolmates at the same high school in town."

Ellinor, sitting next to Marissa drinking coffee, looked up at the mention of this. Marissa nodded, "So your daughter and Ellinor were high school buddies. What's next?"

The woman went on, "Back in high school, Ellinor was a real slacker. She played hooky a lot and was always hanging around with some bad apples."

Marissa raised an eyebrow, not quite buying it. She glanced at Ellinor, who seemed nothing like a troublemaker.

Ellinor remained nonchalant. She even had a slight smirk on her face as she sipped her coffee, like she didn't have a care in the world.

The woman continued, "On the day of the entrance exams, my daughter Rosie showed up to take every single test.

Rosie was always the cream of the crop, the golden girl everyone at school had their money on. But when it came time to check the results, Rosie's grades were nowhere to be found.

We were dumbfounded and went to the school to demand answers, but the school board just gave us the runaround and couldn't give us a straight answer.

As plain folks, we were left with no choice but to accept it. Since then, Rosie hasn't gone back to school. She stays at home, helping us with the farm…"

At this point, the woman started to choke up, and the girl next to her whimpered.
