Chapter 4Reborn as the Unwanted Daughter

I started living at school, throwing myself into my studies.

Although Dad and Grandma agreed to let me stay at school, they gave me a pitiful allowance. It was barely enough for three meals a day. Since I didn't want to go home on weekends, I skipped breakfast to save money, eating only twice a day.

My deskmate, Sarah, noticed I hadn't eaten breakfast for a week. One morning, she handed me two meat buns. "Here. You can't study on an empty stomach. Don't worry about it; my family owns a bakery. Feeding you is nothing."

I laughed and cried at the same time, clasping my hands together. "Thank you, benefactor! I will repay this kindness one day!"

"Shut up," she pushed me playfully.

In my past life, we were best friends too. After I was murdered, she couldn't reach me and called the police immediately. But because my sister was a minor and my parents wrote a letter of forgiveness, she only got three years in juvie.

Classmates noticed my situation and often gave me food—an apple here, a bag of chips there. But Sarah's two meat buns every morning were a constant.

Time flew by, and the semester ended. I jumped from the 50th rank to the top 10 in the final exams. Teachers and classmates were happy for me.

After finals, winter break arrived, and I had to go home.
