Short filmTranscript
00:02In my past life, I was adopted by a poor family.
00:05My little sister Tiffany was taken in by a wealthy family, the Sinclairs.
00:10Yet in less than five years, she was thrown out of the Sinclair house.
00:14She miserably died on the street.
00:18As for me, I studied hard and made it into an Ivy League school.
00:24Sinclair was thrown out of the Sinclair house.
00:26She miserably died on the street.
00:28But Sincreftatist Eiling earned the Sinclair.
00:31In the end, I built my own business empire, married Tony with my adoptive parents' blessing,
00:37gave birth to kids, and lived a long, happy life.
00:41Somehow, I was reborn.
00:44The second the couple from the poor family walked in, she ran straight to Tony.
00:49Brother!
00:50Threw herself into his arms, called him her brother.
00:53Then she grabbed our new parents' hands and looked back at me with that smug little smile I knew too
00:57well.
00:58Audrey, you can have the rich family.
01:00But just a heads up, the Sinclair's house is a prison.
01:03I'm not going back there.
01:05I looked at the young man who had once been my husband.
01:08I hoped he would say something.
01:09Stay away from my sister.
01:12So in the end, with my sister grinning like she'd already won, I walked toward the Lincoln with a shogur.
01:18That was the moment it hit me.
01:20One look at her face told me everything.
01:24She had been reborn too.
01:28Get in, miss.
01:31The Sinclairs had sent no one but a chauffeur.
01:34Same as the past life.
01:36At this exact point, the director of the orphanage told us we could choose our own family.
01:42Tiffany stepped in first, lifted her ditt to her chin, and said,
01:46I'm not living broke.
01:47You are the big sister.
01:49You better suffer for me.
01:51Then she got the rich family she wanted.
01:53And day by day, the smile disappeared from her face.
01:58And now, I was the one stepping into the Lincoln.
02:03The chauffeur kept talking as he pulled away.
02:05He told me about the Sinclair's house rules.
02:08Got all that?
02:10He looked at me in the rearview mirror with those keen eyes, waiting for an answer.
02:16I got it.
02:19We arrived fast.
02:21I followed the chauffeur into a mansion.
02:23It looked less like a home and more like a royal palace.
02:26Mrs. Sinclair.
02:27She's here.
02:29An elegant woman sat on the sofa, sipping tea.
02:33She sized me up slowly and beckoned to me.
02:37Come here.
02:39I walked over.
02:42What's your name?
02:44Audrey.
02:45That was the name the orphanage had given me.
02:47Good.
02:49From now on, you're Audrey Sinclair.
02:53Brent, take her upstairs.
02:56Yes, ma'am.
02:59I followed the butler, step by step.
03:02Everything gleamed.
03:04Everything whispered money.
03:06But none of it shook me.
03:08In my past life, I had built this kind of life with my own hands.
03:12I knew what wealth looked like.
03:17Miss, this is your room now.
03:20He set my bag down by the bed.
03:22Get some rest.
03:23I'll come back for you.
03:24Then he left.
03:27I stepped inside and looked around.
03:29The room was perfect.
03:31And somewhere deep inside me, something stirred.
03:34Excitement.
03:35In my past life, I had no strong family background.
03:39Yet I still built this kind of life with my own hands.
03:42This time, with the Sinclair name, I could become so much more.
03:46I was lost in thought when I heard shouting outside.
03:49A basketball came out of nowhere and slammed into my head.
03:52A boy was there.
03:54Zero manners.
03:55I knew who he was right away.
03:59Jasper Sinclair.
04:00He was into street racing, skydiving, anything dangerous enough to get him killed.
04:05Never serious.
04:06Never still.
04:07In my past life, his legs were crushed in a racing accident.
04:11Hello?
04:12You deaf or what?
04:13His voice snapped in my ear.
04:15I came back to myself, picked up the ball, and did it over.
04:20Here you go, Jasper.
04:21He froze for half a second and said,
04:24What an ask, hearer.
04:26You think living here gets you a cut of the Sinclair money?
04:29And remember, never call me by my first name.
04:31We're not that close.
04:33He snatched the ball and walked off.
04:36For the next few days, I barely saw Mrs. Sinclair.
04:39The butler showed me around the mansion.
04:42When we were done, he handed me a printed schedule.
04:46This is your schedule from now on.
04:48Starting tomorrow, you'll get private lessons in business management.
04:51Mrs. Sinclair arranged everything.
04:53Just study hard.
04:54If you do well, trust me, it'll pay off.
04:59You can handle that, right?
05:01In my past life, I didn't get to learn any of this until I started my first company.
05:05This time, I was getting it at 15.
05:11Absolutely.
05:14This girl learns frighteningly fast.
05:17She's not only finished the high school curriculum, but she's also mastered obscure business theory.
05:24At this rate, she won't even need to finish high school.
05:27She could start applying to universities now.
05:31But that was never Mrs. Sinclair's plan.
05:35She wanted me to stay with Jasper through high school and then go to university with him.
05:39And she wanted me to rein him in.
05:42Come here.
05:43I walked over.
05:45She took my hand and pulled me down beside her on the sofa.
05:50Then she handed me an acceptance letter.
05:54Westfield High.
05:55A private boarding school.
05:57Super elite.
05:58You did well.
06:00Jasper's grades are a mess.
06:01Help him out.
06:04I don't expect miracles.
06:06Just make sure he passes.
06:10Then she looked me right in the eye.
06:13Get through high school with him.
06:14And I'll cover all your tuition and arrange the best change program for the two of you.
06:19Deal?
06:22And I didn't hesitate.
06:26Thank you, Mom.
06:29Good girl.
06:31No limit.
06:32One day off.
06:34Since arriving at the Sinclair house, it was the first day that actually felt like mine.
06:39I had barely taken a few steps when I saw a face I knew.
06:45Tiffany.
06:46She was standing on the curb in the brutal heat, handing out flyers.
06:50Of course, she had to take a part-time job.
06:54In my past life, that was me.
06:56Three jobs every summer.
06:58School on top of that.
07:00Housework after dark.
07:02Later, I found out why they took me in at all.
07:05Not because they wanted a daughter.
07:06Because they wanted free labor.
07:09Hey there.
07:09Want one?
07:15Audrey?
07:20So, you're living comfortably, huh?
07:22But don't say I didn't warn you.
07:24The Sinclair house isn't for girls like us.
07:26Mrs. Sinclair is far more evil than you think.
07:29Give it time.
07:30You'll find out.
07:31Oh.
07:32Okay.
07:34My parents are amazing, she said.
07:36Tony even helps me study.
07:37Oh, by the way, we got accepted into Westfield High early.
07:42Westfield High?
07:43I almost laughed.
07:46The school was full of Rickhead's legacy names and a handful of brilliant scholarship students.
07:52In my past life, Tony and I had been the scholarship kids.
07:55Tiffany looked at me like she was already watching my funeral.
08:00Our lives are only going to get better.
08:04You?
08:06You're going to end up dead in the street.
08:09Just as I was about to answer, a voice cut through the noise.
08:13Tiff!
08:14Tony!
08:14What are you doing here?
08:19Tony walked over with a lunch bag in one hand.
08:22Mom sent me.
08:22She wanted me to bring you lunch.
08:23It's blazing out here.
08:24Want me to cover for you for a while?
08:26It's okay.
08:27I'm fine.
08:28The Roberts would rather scrape together money for Tony's test set than let Tiffany take a break.
08:33Same as the past life.
08:34Same pressure.
08:35Same grind.
08:36You're the best.
08:36You're the best.
08:39You're the best.
08:39You're the best.
08:39You're the best.
08:41You're the best.
08:42You're the best.
08:43This is my sister, Audrey.
08:45You met her at the orphanage.
08:47Tony looked me over.
08:49His expression was cold, faintly disgusted.
08:52Don't hang around people like that.
08:54Come on.
08:54Let's go.
08:55He grabbed her hand and pulled her away before I could say a word.
09:00Their voices still carried even after they walked away.
09:05Tony, why are you being so mean?
09:08What if you scared her?
09:09You're too nice.
09:11Girls like that are trouble.
09:12Well, stay away from her.
09:14One day she'll stab you in the back.
09:15The words hit, like pressing on a bruise that had already healed wrong.
09:19I stood there for only a second.
09:21Then I looked down at the card Mrs. Sinclair had given me.
09:24I went luxury shopping.
09:26When I walked out of the stores with both hands full, Tiffany was still outside.
09:31The jealous look on her face was almost funny.
09:34What a show-off.
09:35You're still going to die on the street.
09:37Tony and I?
09:38We're going to run companies one day.
09:40She was so naive.
09:42The truth was, none of the shopping was for me.
09:45Everything I bought was for them.
09:47For Mrs. Sinclair.
09:49For Jasper.
09:50For the staff.
09:52Jasper was home.
09:54That was rare.
09:55Well, look at that.
09:57You've been here for just a while and you're already spending money that doesn't belong to you.
10:05Jasper.
10:07She's your sister.
10:09In what world?
10:10I don't have a sister and I never will.
10:12You think I'm bringing this bumplad around my friends?
10:14Oh, please.
10:16Jasper had never liked me and I wasn't dumb enough to push him.
10:19Mom, this is for you.
10:21Mom.
10:22Mom.
10:22Then I handed out gifts to the butler and the rest of the household staff.
10:27The butler and the rest of the staff were only Jasper'd.
10:31His face dropped on the spot.
10:33Oh, come on.
10:34You really think a few gifts are enough to buy people off?
10:37You think that makes you...
10:39Well, this one's for you.
10:41It was a custom race car model.
10:43I heard you're into racing.
10:45I saw it and thought of you.
10:54School started soon after that.
10:56I was already set to grab a cab on my own, but when I stepped outside, I saw a car
11:01waiting at the front.
11:03I smiled before I could help it.
11:05I ran over.
11:08Jasper!
11:10I told you not to call me by my first name!
11:13Well, get in.
11:14I don't have all day.
11:17Oh, right.
11:19I climbed in.
11:21Slowly, on purpose.
11:24Then I handed him the breakfast the cook had packed.
11:28Mom said there was one for each of us.
11:30Who even eats breakfast these days?
11:33But he still took it.
11:37He was back with that we-don't-know-each-other face.
11:40Listen carefully.
11:42I don't care what Mom said,
11:43but at school, you do not tell people you're a Sinclair.
11:46You do not tell people we're related.
11:48If I hear any rumors, I'll blame you.
11:52Don't mind young Mr. Sinclair.
11:54He's always been like that.
11:55I know.
11:59I stepped out after Jasper.
12:01And there they were.
12:03Tiffany and Tony.
12:04Right by the front gates.
12:06Tony was handsome.
12:07Clean cut.
12:08Straight A golden boy.
12:10The quiet kind that made girls talk.
12:12A crowd had already formed around them.
12:15I caught snipses as I walked by.
12:17Did you hear about the transfer kid?
12:19He was top of the district.
12:20And his sister too.
12:22She scored top 15.
12:24God, I wish my brother were like that.
12:26My test scores landed me in the advanced academic class.
12:30I stepped into the classroom first.
12:32A few seconds later,
12:33Tony and Tiffany came in behind me.
12:38Well, what a coincidence.
12:40Who would have thought we'd end up in the same class, sis?
12:45Then again, with Sinclair money,
12:47getting you in here was probably easy.
12:48Not like Tony and me.
12:50We had to earn it.
12:51By the way, where's the Sinclair screw-up?
12:54Did his mommy bought him a seat too?
12:57Tiff.
12:58He moved to her side at once
13:00and put himself between us.
13:04That same disdainful look crossed his face again.
13:07I told you not to hang around her.
13:09Tiffany looked up at him with those wide, fake, innocent eyes.
13:12She's my sister.
13:13She won't hurt me.
13:15How would you know?
13:15He shot back.
13:16I had zero interest in their little act,
13:19so I pulled out my business notes
13:20and kept to myself.
13:25When school let out,
13:27Jasper and I were supposed to meet at the front gate
13:29and head home together.
13:31He hated the idea.
13:33Mrs. Sinclair made it a rule.
13:35The first few days, he acted like it was torture.
13:38But every time, he still showed up
13:40and always brought some snacks.
13:41The first time he held out a cupcake,
13:43I just stared at it.
13:44Don't girls like these?
13:45What, you don't want one?
13:47Well, of course I do.
13:49After that, it became a thing.
13:50Every day, something different.
13:52Fries.
13:53Fruit cups.
13:54Yogurt drinks.
13:55By the end of the week,
13:56I was pretty sure he had worked his way
13:58through half the snacks points near the school.
14:00By the end of the semester,
14:02things between us had gotten a lot better.
14:05That afternoon,
14:06I headed to the gate like always,
14:08already expecting to go home with him.
14:10He wasn't there.
14:12I waited.
14:14Checked the whole campus.
14:17Nothing.
14:18That was when I heard voices behind me.
14:20Did you hear?
14:21Hear what?
14:22Jasper Sinclair is up at the ridge.
14:24Are you sure?
14:24A hundred percent.
14:25It's about to start now.
14:27My blood ran cold.
14:28Then it hit me.
14:29In the past life.
14:30Same day.
14:31Someone had talked him into a race.
14:33Someone had tampered with his car.
14:35The back ridge roads were steep,
14:36narrow,
14:36and built like a death trap.
14:37The crash had ruined him.
14:38His legs had been crushed.
14:40By the time help arrived,
14:41it was too late.
14:42He never walked again.
14:45I froze.
14:46I froze.
14:48No.
14:50Not again.
14:52I took off running.
14:54By the time I got there,
14:55the race had already started.
14:57Cars tore across the dirt.
14:59Engines screamed.
15:01People were packed along the edge,
15:03shouting,
15:03filming,
15:04losing their minds.
15:07Dust filled the air.
15:09Next second,
15:10Jasper's red car fishtailed hard.
15:12The car shot off course.
15:13Straight into the rocks.
15:16The crowd scattered.
15:18People started running,
15:19screaming.
15:20Nobody tried to help.
15:24Jasper!
15:26I sprinted for the wreck.
15:29I was one second away from reaching the door
15:31when someone grabbed me from behind
15:32and yanked me back.
15:37I hit the ground hard.
15:39An intimidating man stepped in front of me.
15:41He looked down at me and smirked.
15:44That's your brother?
15:46Call 911!
15:47He's dying!
15:48Jasper was pinned behind the wheel.
15:50There was barely any space left around him.
15:53Your brother pissed me off.
15:55You think I'll let you save him?
15:57He crouched down and slapped me.
16:00Not hard.
16:02Just enough to humiliate me.
16:04I snapped.
16:05I shoved him back
16:06and hit him across the face
16:07with everything I had.
16:09God, this is attempted murder.
16:11You touched that car.
16:12I know you did.
16:14I swear to God,
16:15I'll bury you for this.
16:17Hoping to back them down,
16:18I reached for my phone.
16:19A hand snatched it away.
16:21Another blow came fast.
16:23A brutal slap.
16:24It knocked me sideways into the dirt.
16:26Who the hell do you think you're talking to, kid?
16:30A boot came down on my face.
16:32Pain exploded through my jaw.
16:34I saw someone I knew.
16:37Tony.
16:38Tony, help me!
16:41He turned.
16:43Started toward me.
16:46Suddenly, Tiffany showed up and grabbed his arm.
16:49Tony, don't stay out of it.
16:51Those guys are dangerous.
16:52Please, let's just go.
16:54Looked at the struggle on his face become compliance.
16:57Okay.
16:58Just like that.
16:59He looked at me one last time.
17:01Then he turned and walked away with Tiffany.
17:05The man spit to the side
17:07and stodded back to the wrecked car.
17:10No one puts their hands on me.
17:13He lifted the hammer.
17:16Now learn what that costs.
17:18The second the hammer came down,
17:19I shut my eyes.
17:20But the pain never came.
17:22I heard a moan by my ear.
17:23Jasper was in front of me.
17:26He had thrown himself between us.
17:28Jasper, wake up!
17:29Come on!
17:30Look at me!
17:31Shut up!
17:31The thug stalked over,
17:33grabbed a fistful of my hair,
17:35air banged us in hair,
17:36and yanked me off the ground.
17:39If you scream one more time,
17:41I'll sew your mouth shut myself.
17:44I clawed at his wrist.
17:45This is murder!
17:46You hear me?
17:47Murder!
17:47I called the cops!
17:48Let us go now, or...
17:50I couldn't catch my breath or find my voice.
17:54I could only stare as his face twisted.
17:57Cops?
17:59You think I'm scared of the cops?
18:01I'm gonna show you what happens when you come at me.
18:04Then he smiled and threw me.
18:07I slammed into the ground so hard my head rang.
18:11Then he kicked him.
18:12Hard.
18:15Jasper curled in on himself,
18:17struggling in agony.
18:18Jasper!
18:20I threw myself forward and grabbed the thug's leg.
18:23Don't touch him!
18:25I screamed it with everything I had.
18:27He flung me off with one brutal jerk.
18:30I went flying sideways.
18:32He looked down at me and laughed.
18:36Oh, now you get to make rules?
18:38He lifted a hand.
18:39The others rushed in.
18:40They stormed Jasper.
18:42Fists.
18:42Boots.
18:43One after another.
18:44Blood splashed across the dirt.
18:46Then I saw it.
18:47A metal bar on the ground.
18:48I grabbed it.
18:49And swung.
18:51Get away from him!
18:53I just kept swinging at whoever was in reach.
18:55Seeing me go desert like this,
18:57they all scattered.
18:58Once I'd driven them all away,
18:59I didn't care about anything else.
19:01I rushed over and pulled him into my arms.
19:02Jasper, stay with me.
19:04Please.
19:05Please stay with me.
19:06I'm getting you out of here.
19:08Mrs. Sinclair had made me work out with private trainers.
19:10It was the only reason I could move him at all.
19:12I hooked his arm over my shoulders
19:13and started dragging him toward the road.
19:15If I could just make it to the bottom,
19:16I could get an Uber or something.
19:17A shadow came over my head,
19:19blocking the path.
19:19Where do you think you're going?
19:21You really think you two are walking out of here?
19:24Leave me here.
19:25Jasper tried to push my hand away.
19:27Just go.
19:28But his strength wasn't enough to push me away.
19:33No way.
19:36It was the first time in forever
19:37that I'd ever gone against him.
19:39I held on tighter.
19:43We go together.
19:44I'm not leaving you here.
19:48Look at that.
19:50What a lovely family.
19:52The ringleader actually clapped,
19:54then his eyes sharpened.
19:55But this little drama ends now.
19:58He drove his boot into me.
20:00I hit the ground hard.
20:01Jasper went down with me.
20:04The others closed in step by step.
20:06Metal pipes scraped across the dirt.
20:11Go on.
20:12Have fun.
20:13Whoever hits hardest gets paid extra.
20:15Then they rushed us.
20:17All at once.
20:20Jasper!
20:21I threw myself over and covered him with my body.
20:25He couldn't get hurt.
20:26That was all I had in mind.
20:30Just when I thought this was the end,
20:33a gunshot rang out,
20:35and metal pipes clattered to the ground.
20:36Police!
20:36Hands where we can see them!
20:39Finally,
20:40they'd arrived.
20:41The same men who had been laughing seconds earlier
20:43scattered like rats.
20:45Officers rushed in and formed a wall around us.
20:49I grabbed one by the sleeve.
20:53Please.
20:54Please.
20:55Help my brother.
20:56He needs to get to a hospital now.
20:59His legs had already been crushed,
21:00and I'd seen them beat him on the injury again.
21:02If help came too late,
21:04I couldn't finish that thought.
21:05Blood freezing.
21:06The medics arrived quickly.
21:08A stretcher rolled in.
21:09I watched them lift Jasper into the ambulance.
21:12Only then did my body get out.
21:15Everything went black.
21:19I woke up the next afternoon
21:20and saw Mrs. Sinclair sitting beside my bed.
21:23The moment she saw my eyes open,
21:25she grabbed my hand.
21:26Audrey.
21:28Thank God.
21:29Her eyes were red.
21:31I pushed upright.
21:34How's Jasper?
21:35At the mention of his name,
21:37she started crying.
21:38Jasper.
21:39He's still in surgery.
21:42Right then,
21:43a doctor stepped in
21:44and told us Jasper was out.
21:46Mrs. Sinclair and I
21:47were already on our feet
21:48before he finished the sentence.
21:49We rushed into the hall together.
21:51The doctor comforted us.
21:53Take a breath.
21:53He's stable.
21:55He's lucky.
21:56Very lucky.
21:57We were able to save his legs.
21:59If he had come in any later,
22:01the outcome could have been very different.
22:02Some trauma to her back.
22:03She's going to need a lot of physical therapy,
22:05but she's going to be okay.
22:08I was relieved.
22:09If Jasper had lost his legs because of me,
22:11I didn't think I could ever have forgiven myself.
22:13Jasper woke up two days later.
22:15Mrs. Sinclair tore into him
22:16the second he was alert enough to listen.
22:18What is the matter with you?
22:19He barely reacted.
22:20He just looked past her at me.
22:25You okay, Audrey?
22:27Audrey Sinclair.
22:28The room went still.
22:30I stared at him.
22:31Mrs. Sinclair stared at him too.
22:34What did you call her?
22:36Jasper didn't even blink.
22:38Well, that's her name now, isn't it?
22:40Mrs. Sinclair put a hand on my shoulder.
22:42And I knew.
22:43That was it.
22:44That was the moment.
22:46Finally, everyone in this family accepted I was a Sinclair now.
22:49Not just someone meant to support Jasper, but as my own person.
22:52Mrs. Sinclair covered her mouth for a second.
22:55My sweetheart.
22:56She whispered.
22:57Then she pulled me close with one arm and reached for Jasper with the other.
23:02And you are done with racing.
23:03From now on, you will sit down, behave yourself, and study with your sister.
23:08She must have said the same thing at least three times before.
23:10Every other time, Jasper had fought her on it.
23:13But this time, he just nodded.
23:17Okay.
23:19I'll do it all with Audrey.
23:20Then he looked at me again.
23:22Mrs. Sinclair squeezed my hand.
23:24And warmth came through.
23:26For the first time in both my lives, I believed it.
23:28I had a family.
23:30I told the police everything.
23:32Including that the car had been tampered with.
23:34After an investigation, the police found out the truth.
23:37Added assault.
23:39Added attempted murder.
23:41By the end of it, every last one of them went down on multiple charges.
23:46When it was over, Jasper took my hand.
23:48With a determined look.
23:49And said he would protect me.
23:51Don't ever pull a stunt like that again.
23:54Don't go charging in alone for me.
23:56You hear me?
23:58Okay.
24:00But deep down, I already knew the truth.
24:02Next time, I'd do it again.
24:04And the time after that.
24:05And the time after that.
24:07I would make the same choice for you.
24:12Jasper was in the hospital for three months.
24:14I took care of him every day.
24:16And while he healed, I helped him keep up with senior year work.
24:24By the first month he was strong enough to return, we went back together.
24:28Just in time for the first midterm.
24:32When I walked out of the exam room, I saw two faces I hadn't seen for a while.
24:36Tony and Tiffany.
24:39Audrey?
24:39Oh my god!
24:40When did you come back?
24:41I heard you got hurt.
24:43Was it bad?
24:43I honestly thought you dropped out.
24:45She overplayed it.
24:46I could see the gloating behind her eyes.
24:48I didn't answer.
24:49I walked right past them.
24:51Audrey.
24:52Tony's voice made me stop.
24:53I turned.
24:56For once, he wasn't looking at me with disgust in his eyes.
24:59Are you...
25:01Okay?
25:02I thought about that day on the ridge.
25:03I'd been begging for help.
25:04And how he looked when he decided to leave.
25:06You don't do that to a stranger.
25:10I'm fine.
25:12I turned to leave.
25:13Then he stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.
25:15Audrey, I...
25:16A backpack flew between us.
25:19What the hell are you doing?
25:20Stay away from Audrey.
25:21Tiffany rushed in before he could finish.
25:23Tony, forget them.
25:24Let's go.
25:25She grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
25:29Next time he puts a hand on you, you tell me.
25:33I swear.
25:34He lifted a fist.
25:36I'll break his face.
25:38I laughed.
25:39I'm fine.
25:40Come on.
25:41Let's go home.
25:42Fine.
25:43By the way, I definitely nailed the test.
25:45I'm telling you right now, I will be in the advanced academic class too.
25:47You better get ready to have me as your classmate.
25:49He sounded super confident.
25:51I believe you.
25:54You.
25:55You don't sound convinced at all.
25:57I'm serious.
25:58I always knew you could do it.
26:00I had never doubted Jasper's intelligence.
26:02He just hated being told what to do.
26:04But over those three months, I watched him begin to change.
26:07Bit by bit.
26:08The truth was, I was right.
26:10A week later, his scores came out.
26:12Jasper had done it.
26:13He went from near the bottom of the grade to the top 30 in his year.
26:17Enough to move into the advanced class.
26:19My ranking held steady.
26:21Still number one.
26:22No surprise there.
26:24The surprise was Tony and Tiffany.
26:26The two of them had always ranked near the top five.
26:28This time, both of them dropped out of the top 100.
26:30They got pushed out of the advanced academic class.
26:32Tiffany stood in front of the ranking board, staring at it like it had slapped her.
26:35Her jealousy was burning holes through the paper.
26:38No.
26:38That's impossible.
26:39You cheated.
26:40There's no way.
26:41You were out of school for months and still came back as number one.
26:43Who would buy that?
26:43And him?
26:44He was supposed to be finished.
26:45He was supposed to be crippled.
26:45Why is he okay?
26:46Why is he suddenly doing this well in school?
26:48I don't believe it.
26:52You both cheated.
26:54Tiffany was beside herself and insisted on taking the matter all the way to the principal,
26:58demanding a thorough investigation.
26:59Tony reached for her arm, tried to stop her, but it didn't work.
27:02She glared at me, her eyes vicious.
27:04Cheating gets you expelled.
27:05You're dead meat, Audrey.
27:07Tiff, that's enough.
27:08You're my brother.
27:09You're supposed to take my side, not hers.
27:12What, did you fall for her now?
27:17Fine.
27:18Just wait.
27:31You can't put it on my record.
27:33They cheated.
27:34Are you all blind?
27:35How is this even possible?
27:58Even Tony started distancing himself from her.
28:01The moment Tiffany noticed, she spiraled all over again.
28:05Tony looked wrecked, tired all the time.
28:07His grades plummeted.
28:08He fell from the top hundred all the way to the bottom.
28:11Teachers called him in more than once.
28:13They warned him directly.
28:14Completely.
28:14Get your head back in the game.
28:16You're here because of your grades.
28:18Without them, you could end up getting kicked out.
28:20When Tiffany heard that, she marched to the staff office and made another scene.
28:25This time, she accused a teacher of having a thing for Tony.
28:28She said the teacher was trying to come between them on purpose.
28:31It got ugly fast.
28:32By the end of it, she had shoved the teacher hard enough to send her to the hospital.
28:38That was it.
28:39No more warnings.
28:41She was expelled.
28:45I was taking notes when I heard the gossip, and someone held out a slice of cake to me.
28:48Take a break.
28:49Your brain's going to catch fire.
28:51I looked up.
28:52He was grinning at me.
28:55Thanks, Jasper.
28:57I took the cake and ate it slowly.
29:02Through the window, I felt someone watching me.
29:05It was Tony.
29:06Standing across the courtyard, he looked nothing like he used to.
29:10The cool, untouchable golden boy was gone.
29:13He looked worn down now.
29:15Thin, hollow-eyed.
29:17It was as if life had taken a bite out of him and kept chewing.
29:20I looked away.
29:22Finished my cake and went back to work.
29:27As senior year closed in, Mrs. Sinclair helped Jasper and me apply to universities,
29:31most Ivy Leagues.
29:32She told us we didn't even need to take the SAT, but we both took it anyway.
29:37No real reason.
29:38Maybe I just wanted to do it one more time and know that this time, things would end differently.
29:44On the night of graduation, the whole dorm was loud.
29:46People yelling, crying, taking pictures.
29:51Jasper snuck off campus and came back loaded down with snacks.
29:55Way too many.
29:56He dumped them in my arms.
29:59Share with your roommates.
30:01Then he was gone again before I could answer.
30:03I turned with the bags in my hands and saw someone standing in the dark.
30:06My whole body went rigid for a second.
30:08Who's there?
30:09The figure stepped forward.
30:11It was Tony.
30:11He looked even worse up close, two thin eyes sunken.
30:16He stopped a few feet away.
30:19How did you do?
30:20I stared at him.
30:23So now we're at the ask about my scores, Phage?
30:26If memory served, he'd spent most of his life looking at me at the back of the problem.
30:31Silence sat between us.
30:32Then he swallowed.
30:36Audrey, you really don't remember me?
30:38His voice was rough.
30:39That was the moment I knew.
30:40He had been reborn, too.
30:42You?
30:43That day, I was going to help you.
30:46His mouth tightened.
30:48Tiffany pulled me away.
30:49A few days later, I heard you'd taken a leave of absence from school.
30:52I couldn't stop thinking about it.
30:54Then the dreams began.
30:56Dreams.
30:57Right.
30:59I dreamed my family adopted you.
31:02You became my sister.
31:04He gave a short laugh.
31:06Dry.
31:06Bitter.
31:07I dreamed we went to school together.
31:09Built a business together.
31:10Got married.
31:11Had kids.
31:11I dreamed you told me we'd be together for the rest of our lives.
31:17Tell me I'm not crazy.
31:20Tell me that was real.
31:21Tell me that happened.
31:22We were together.
31:23We built a life together.
31:24We...
31:24Stop.
31:25I cut him off cold.
31:26I'm Jasper Sinclair's sister.
31:28I'm a Sinclair.
31:29We do not know each other.
31:30Leave me alone.
31:32Then I walked past him.
31:34Fast.
31:34Straight for the stairs.
31:38I didn't turn around.
31:39Didn't slow down.
31:40Later, my roommates told me that he had stayed downstairs all night.
31:45So, what was that?
31:47Nothing.
31:47I don't know him.
31:52The next day, I packed.
31:55The Sinclair car pulled up outside.
31:57And just like that, I left it all behind.
31:59All three years of it.
32:02My SAT score ranked first in school.
32:05Jasper came in first.
32:06Mrs. Sinclair was so happy she threw us an 18th birthday party big enough to make headlines.
32:13By September, we were off to Harvard.
32:15At the airport, I saw Tony one last time.
32:18Standing outside the barrier.
32:19Watching me like he was waiting for a miracle.
32:21I kept walking.
32:22Never slowed.
32:24Never looked back.
32:26Later, people in the group chat said he bombed his exams.
32:29Ended up at a community college.
32:32Tiffany took the SAT, too.
32:34She did even worse.
32:35She couldn't get in anywhere.
32:37And somehow, everything had changed.
32:39And somehow, everything was still the same.
32:41The pain lifted up.
32:42The city called a world in the world.
32:44And I flew straight toward the life that was finally mine.
32:47The city called a world in the world.
32:47The city called a world in the world.
32:48You
