Abgeschlossene Geschichte, Zuerst veröffentlicht Mai 17, 2011
Paige Lang has to move to a whole new neighborhood and whole new school. Why? Because her father got a new job. She has one little sister, who is the center of her parent’s attention. Oh, and the worst part is, she’s Asian! Paige is a smart girl and knows how racist people are these days. When she moves, all she wants is to be accepted. She doesn’t want to be called Chinese or Japanese, even though she’s Korean. Will she be accepted or will she be rejected by the racist people in the neighborhood?
Looking back, I should have seen it coming.
Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid.
But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough.
She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that.
The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen.
And like an idiot I walked right into it.
And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.
