Hi, my name is Grace.

Or more accurately, our name is Grace.

I know this might sound confusing, so please, guys, kick your annoying brother out of the room and focus,

because you'll need all your brain cells for this.

You see, Mom was very, very poor.

She was also young, alone, and completely terrified when she gave birth to us.

And by us, I mean triplets.

Three identical girls.

She gave birth to all three of us alone at home.

But because she was scared and didn't know any better, she only registered one baby.

She was terrified that if anyone found out that she had three newborns and no money, they'd take us away.

So officially, Mom had one daughter, Grace.

In reality, there were three of us.

No one outside our house knew the truth, so Mom did everything she could to hide us.

She even had a secret door built into the basement so we could sneak in and out without anyone seeing.

We could never go outside together.

One of us had to leave, come back, and only then could the next one go.

Yep, such a normal childhood.

But obviously, we couldn't call each other Grace.

That would have been way too confusing.

So we gave each other our own names.

The oldest, who loved acting like those 90 seconds made her our queen, was called Queen.

She hated everyone, except cute boys.

Around them, her attitude magically disappeared.

But don't let that fool you.

The girl was still terrifying.

Mom was scared of her too.

Queen vaped, carried pocket knives, and treated our house like a military base.

I only slept for 13 hours.

You were quiet at first, but of course you couldn't control yourselves.

You just had to go to the bathroom, cook food, breathe, and exist.

So I lost one whole hour of sleep because of you idiots.

I swear, if this ever happens again, I'll kick your butts.

Except for you, Mom.

It's okay, honey.

I understand if you have to.

Sometimes I do breathe too loudly.

Then there was the middle one.

She was a cheerleader and the dumbest, wildest, most reckless person I had ever met.

So we called her Riot.

Come on, girls.

Dinner is ready.

I make fish.

Wait.

Is fish beef or chicken?

It's fish.

Okay.

Support.

And then there was me, Tito.

I know, it's a childish name.

But Queen gave it to me because I loved burritos when I was little, and I used to call them Tito's.

I was the smart one.

I spent most of my time on the computer, learning random things no one asked me to learn.

Honestly, that was the only interesting thing about me.

My mean, chaotic sisters spent most of their time annoying me

and dragging me into disasters I never asked to be a part of.

So, yep, you guys are stuck with the boring one.

But people change, don't they?

And trust me, hiding in a basement with Queen and Riot gives you plenty of reasons to change.

Let me start from the beginning and show you how three people lived one life.

For school, we split the weekdays between us.

I went two days, Riot went two days, and Queen went one day because, obviously, she thought school was a waste of time.

We each had our own style, too.

Queen wore black clothes, mostly skirts with sharp glasses.

Riot dressed in bright colors with long rainbow socks and rectangular glasses.

And I wore cardigans and round nerdy glasses.

Like, I reminded teachers about homework.

For exams, we had a system.

Each of us studied one -third of the material.

Then, during the test, one of us would ask to go to the bathroom.

I need to use the bathroom.

I'm constipated.

Ew.

Just go.

The other two would be secretly waiting and we'd switch places.

I need to go again.

Now I have diarrhea.

Jesus, I don't need updates.

Just go.

Then I'd go in last, fix their answers, and save our grade.

Because unlike Riot, I knew the Civil War did not happen in 2009.

And unlike Queen, I knew mind your own business was not a valid answer to every question.

They had no idea.

And that didn't only happen at school.

We had to use the same system for basically every part of our lives.

Like the hairdresser in our neighborhood.

She was always confused whenever one of us walked in.

Wait, didn't I wax your eyebrows and lip last week?

Sweetie, you grow hair like a weed.

And honestly, I didn't even hate her for that.

I hated her because she was a straight -up crook who overcharged everyone and somehow always forgot to give change.

So Queen decided, we needed revenge.

And whenever Queen said, revenge, it usually meant I was about to suffer.

One day, we walked into her shop with a bunch of jars of Vaseline

and olive oil and told her… We had invented a 30 -second hair color mask.

Riot went in first.

To our lovely hairdresser, I brought a miracle.

This mask changes hair color in 30 seconds.

Just mix in whatever dye you want, put it on their hair, and boom!

100

New hair.

101

There's no such thing.

102

Do you think I'm stupid?

103

No. Watch.

104

Put it on me and close your eyes for 30 seconds.

105

The second she closed her eyes, Riot ran out and Queen walked in wearing the exact same clothes, but with a different hair color.

106

No way, that's impossible.

107

Are you calling us liars?

108

I mean, me?

109

Are you calling me a liar?

110

Fine, let's try green.

111

Then Queen went out and I walked in with the stupid green hair my sisters had forced on me.

112

I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is, but I'll take every jar you have.

113

So yeah, we made a bunch of money.

114

Queen called it justice.

115

Riot called it business.

116

And I spent the next year looking like a cursed broccoli.

117

But even when we had money, Mom was too paranoid to let us have separate phones.

118

Three phones means three chances for you girls to mess up and expose yourselves.

119

So here, one phone.

120

Each of you gets eight hours a day.

121

Eight hours?

122

Seriously?

123

Mom, you know I'm the important one and Tito already has a computer.

124

Did you hear me complain?

125

Then, Queen hit the picture frame beside her so hard, the glass cracked.

126

Mom looked scared for a second and swallowed so loudly, even I heard it.

127

Of course not, honey.

128

You're very generous.

129

You can keep the phone most of the time.

130

I just don't want

131

Riot or Tito doing something stupid.

132

You think I'm stupid?

133

Then I'll prove I'm not.

134

I can fix that.

135

She grabbed the cracked picture frame, pressed both hands against the glass, and smiled.

136

The whole thing immediately shattered.

137

A second later, Riot looked down at her bleeding fingers, blinked twice, and started crying in pain.

138

Actually, I meant Tito.

139

She might do something stupid.

140

Maybe Tito can have it for just a half hour a day?

141

Mom looked at me nervously, silently begging me to go along with it.

142

I sighed, gave her a thumbs up, grabbed a broom, and cleaned up the broken glass.

143

Of course, Queen still used the phone most of the time.

144

Mostly during class.

145

And of course, teachers kept catching her.

146

Whenever they took it away, Mom sent me to get it back.

147

I'd put on my most innocent face and say things like, I'm so sorry, I've learned my lesson,

148

I'll never use my phone in class again, blah blah blah.

149

And they believed me.

150

That was basically my job in the family.

151

Riot and Queen caused chaos, and I cleaned it up.

152

Until one day, everything changed.

153

One afternoon, Riot made me go to her cheerleading practice.

154

She said she was exhausted, and if she missed one more practice, she'd get kicked off the team.

155

So I thought, fine, one practice.

156

How bad could it be?

157

Except it wasn't practice.

158

It was a real performance before a basketball game.

159

I was standing there in Riot's cheer uniform, staring at the crowd.

160

Then the head cheerleader, Molly, noticed me.

161

Molly was the school's queen bully, and she got away with everything because her dad donated a ton of money,

162

and Principal Brackett, the meanest man on earth, basically worshipped her family.

163

Oh, Grace, you actually showed up.

164

The girls told me what you said about me.

165

What did I say?

166

That I dance like a peahen in distress every time a peacock walks by.

167

What the heck does that even mean?

168

Don't act innocent.

169

You know our peacock inside joke, and now you're using it against me.

170

Since you're so funny, I think you're ready to be the top flyer.

171

I had no idea what a top flyer was.

172

Unfortunately, I found out three seconds later.

173

The music started.

174

The crowd screamed.

175

And suddenly, six girls were lifting me into the air like I was a sacrifice.

176

For one tiny second, I loved it.

177

I could see the whole gym, the basketball court, the crowd, the exits I should have used.

178

Then I started wobbling, then screaming, then falling.

179

I landed right on Molly and heard a crack so loud my soul left my body.

180

Everyone froze.

181

I didn't know what to do.

182

So I grabbed a pom -pom, raised it in the air, and yelled, Go Tigers!

183

Someone in the crowd shouted, We're not even the Tigers!

184

Get off the court, you idiot!

185

My face got so hot, I thought my hair was going to catch on fire.

186

So I ran.

187

I didn't know where to go, especially with Molly limping right behind me like an angry, broken flamingo.

188

I reached the school counselor's office and was about to knock.

189

But before my hand touched the door, Molly grabbed me by my ponytail and yanked me back.

190

I turned around and saw her head tilting weirdly to one side from the injury, which made her look even scarier.

191

Then her minions showed up behind her, and suddenly, I wasn't being confronted.

192

I was being jumped.

193

I tried to push them away, but there was too many of them.

194

Hands grabbed my hair, my arms, my uniform, and for a second, I genuinely thought, Well, this is how I die.

195

In Riot's cheer skirt.

196

But thank God, before they could fully murder me, the counselor's door flew open.

197

Girls, back away from her.

198

Now.

199

Shoo!

200

Before I start calling your parents.

201

They finally backed off, still glaring at me like I had personally ruined their bloodline.

202

Grace, honey, are you okay?

203

Come on in, let's talk.

204

I went inside her office, and honestly, it felt like the safest place in the entire school.

205

It was quiet, warm, and smelled like tea and peppermint.

206

Mrs. Mitch closed the door, sat beside me, and gently held my hand.

207

She must have noticed how nervous I was, since it was my first time coming to her office.

208

Nervous?

209

Yeah.

210

First time?

211

No, I've been nervous my whole life.

212

I realized I had completely misunderstood the question and immediately clapped my hand over my mouth.

213

She meant my first time talking to a counselor.

214

But Mrs. Mitch just smiled.

215

Grace, honey, I think you're carrying a lot.

216

One day you're into computers and programming.

217

The next day you're cheerleading.

218

One day you won't even look at anyone.

219

The next day you're flirting with half the basketball team.

220

She gave me a soft smile.

221

I'm not judging you.

222

I'm just confused.

223

And I have a feeling you are too.

224

So tell me, what's really going on?

225

And then, before I could stop myself, I told her everything.

226

About mom, about the triplets, about Queen and Riot.

227

About how the three of us had been pretending to be one girl our entire lives.

228

Mrs. Mitch looked shocked for a second, then quickly pulled herself together.

229

Sometimes I wish I could stand up to them, but I feel stupid.

230

and weak and powerless?

231

Yeah, and small and… Invisible?

232

Exactly.

233

And maybe a little insecure.

234

And anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, awkward?

235

Okay.

236

Maybe a little dumb?

237

Okay, wow.

238

I was going to stop at insecure, but now I feel diagnosed and attacked.

239

No, no. I mean you feel dumb.

240

Not that you are dumb.

241

Too late.

242

My brain already saved it.

243

I knew Mrs. Mitch was trying to help, even if her help came with emotional damage.

244

So I kept talking, and she just listened quietly, nodding without interrupting me once.

245

An hour later, I left her office feeling lighter.

246

Until it hit me.

247

What if she told someone?

248

What if mom went to jail?

249

What if they took my sisters away.

250

Oh, God, I was so dumb.

251

Sometimes Queen was right about me.

252

I had almost reached the school parking lot when I turned around and ran straight back to Mrs. Mitch's office.

253

I was in such a hurry that I didn't look around.

254

Then, a black car bumped into me and I dropped to the ground, dizzy and confused.

255

When I looked up, I saw the cutest guy I had ever seen staring down at me in total panic.

256

An angel?

257

Wow, you guys don't waste time, do you?

258

Not when it comes to cute girls.

259

You okay?

260

Oh, I wish my sisters were here to hear this.

261

What was that?

262

Never mind, you might have a concussion.

263

Right now I'm taking you to the nurse, and for the record, I saw what

264

Molly and her girls did.

265

I was about to step in, but Mrs. Mitch got there first.

266

And then somehow you managed to hit me with your car an hour later.

267

Clearly my hero timing needs work.

268

Now come on, nurse's office.

269

Elijah White was the new boy at school.

270

He had joined a week ago, and I'd already heard

271

Riot talking about him, but I'd never actually met him.

272

Principal Brackett saw the entire thing from his car, but instead of helping me,

273

he told me to go home because apparently getting hit by a car was my fault too.

274

I ignored him, took Elijah's hand and went to the nurse.

275

The nurse said I was fine, just bruised and dramatic, which honestly felt offensive but fair.

276

Elijah stayed with me for a few minutes and somehow, before I left, I had his number.

277

And I walked home smiling.

278

But that smile disappeared the second I stepped inside.

279

When I opened the door, Queen.. grabbed me by the collar and dragged me into the living room.

280

Where have you been?

281

I needed to go out an hour ago.

282

Too bad.

283

You missed your hour.

284

It's my turn now.

285

Oh, really?

286

They started arguing, so I cut in.

287

Riot, can you please tell me who or what on earth Peacock is?

288

Huh?

289

What are you even talking about?

290

Oh, the Peacock joke.

291

It's what we call the new hot guy, Elijah White.

292

There's a new hot guy at school, and no one told me.

293

Maybe if you bothered showing up.

294

You show up more than me, and you're still as dumb as a bag of rocks.

295

And just like that, they were fighting again.

296

But I drifted off, thinking about Elijah.

297

The way he looked at me, the way he helped me, the way he almost killed me with his car.

298

Ah, so romantic.

299

Then Queen suddenly looked at me.

300

Wait, why do you look like you got hit by a car?

301

No way I was telling her about Elijah.

302

So I told him about Molly and her minions jumping me instead.

303

Queen's face darkened.

304

No one beats up

305

Grace except Grace.

306

Then she turned to Riot, who was biting her nails.

307

And how many times have I told you not to do that in front of me?

308

Riot panicked and shoved even more fingers into her mouth.

309

So Queen lunged at her.

310

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

311

My hands betrayed me.

312

Then, Riot ran for her life.

313

The next day, Queen went to school.

314

When Molly saw her in the hallway, she smirked and stepped in front of her with her girls.

315

Well, well, well.

316

Look who we have here. Who?

317

Molly blinked.

318

Careful.

319

I dare you to answer before I pluck your goddamn feathers, you ugly little pea hen.

320

How dare you?

321

Pretty easily.

322

Girls, get her!

323

They lunged at Queen.

324

She shoved them back like they were shopping carts.

325

The girls stumbled into each other shocked.

326

Then Queen grabbed

327

Molly by both of her stupid little pigtails and yanked her close.

328

Don't you ever jump me again when I'm dressed like a nerd, or your next cheer routine is happening in physical therapy.

329

Molly's face went pale.

330

Then a teacher appeared at the end of the hallway and yelled for her to let go.

331

Queen dropped Molly's pigtails and smiled like an angel.

332

Of course, we were just talking, Miss Pooplin.

333

Later in math class, Queen was sleeping on her desk when someone poked her from behind.

334

Leave me alone or I'll pull your eyes out.

335

I don't care who you are.

336

Wow, yesterday you got hit by a car.

337

Today you're threatening people's eyeballs.

338

Busy week?

339

Queen realized it was Elijah and whipped around so fast he actually leaned back.

340

Hey, handsome.

341

Wanna go out with me?

342

I was just gonna ask for a pencil, but okay.

343

That night, Queen came home smiling.

344

And Queen never smiles.

345

So I knew something was wrong.

346

When she fell asleep, I stole the phone and checked her contacts.

347

And there it was.

348

Elijah's number.

349

That was it.

350

Queen had stolen my almost boyfriend before he was even my almost boyfriend. That backstabber.

351

But I was scared of Queen, so I didn't have the courage to confront her.

352

Things went on like that for a while.

353

I saw Elijah on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Queen saw him on Fridays.

354

He was nice, charming, and the kind of guy who read poetry, painted, and wrote song lyrics,

355

which was extremely unfair because I was already trying not to like him.

356

But of course, good things don't last forever.

357

Because one morning, Riot tried to leave for school wearing heavy, colorful makeup.

358

Before she could open the door, Queen threw her pocket knife at it.

359

The knife stopped right beside Riot's hand.

360

Why do you look like a clown?

361

I have a boyfriend to impress.

362

I looked so defeated that I covered my face with both hands.

363

Holy mother of God!

364

What is it, Tito?

365

Are you dating him too?

366

He's mine!

367

I met him first!

368

Oh, I was born first.

369

So technically, I should be the official child.

370

And you two should be suffering in the darkness.

371

But look how nice I am, letting you share my life.

372

So you two, stop dating Peacock.

373

Oh, thank God.

374

For a second, I thought you guys were talking about Elijah.

375

Queen and I gave her a strange look.

376

How can one person be this dumb?

377

You know what?

378

We should all stop dating him.

379

No guy is worth us fighting over him.

380

Do you two swear?

381

The three of us make.. piece signs with both hands, kiss the signs, and tap them against our foreheads.

382

That was our promise sign.

383

But of course, I didn't trust those traitors for a second.

384

And I was right not to.

385

Later that day, Queen was on TikTok when she saw

386

Molly's livestream of the cheerleading dance.

387

And right there, in the corner of the screen, Riot was flirting with Elijah.

388

She is so dead!

389

Later, the second

390

Riot stepped inside, Queen went straight for her.

391

Wait, before you hit me, you should know that he said he liked me.

392

Queen stopped inches away from her face.

393

Did he say, I like you, Riot?

394

Or did he say, I like you, Grace?

395

Because we're all Grace, genius.

396

So technically, he likes all of us?

397

Technically, I'm about to throw you through a wall.

398

After a lot of yelling, threatening, and Riot hiding behind

399

Mom, Things got even worse when Riot accidentally admitted she had told Elijah where we lived.

400

Mom grabbed her chest and whispered, You gave a teenage boy directions to our secret?

401

Which finally shut us up long enough to agree on one rule.

402

No more dating Elijah.

403

We blocked his number and deleted it.

404

Later that week, I decided to visit Mrs. Mitch.

405

I'd met with her a couple of times after that first day and since she had kept my secret, I started trusting her more.

406

I knocked on her office door, then opened it and found Mrs. Mitch looking guilty in front of her laptop.

407

I leaned in and saw she was watching an MSA video.

408

Before you judge me, there's no age limit.

409

These stories help me understand what you people go through.

410

Relax, I watch them too.

411

Good, if anyone asks, this was research.

412

Sure, very professional research.

413

So, if you guys are watching this, like, subscribe, and comment.

414

Team Tito, Team Queen, or Team Riot.

415

And if you pick

416

Riot, I'm worried about you.

417

During that session, I told Mrs. Mitch all about the Elijah drama.

418

Weirdly, it felt like talking to Mom when I was little, back when she opened up to me whenever my sisters weren't around.

419

Then, out of nowhere, Alexa started playing Macarena.

420

Oh my god, this is the song

421

Mom and I used to dance to when I was little!

422

I don't know what came over me, but I started dancing.

423

Very awkwardly, by the way.

424

I was moving my arms like a scarecrow.

425

I begged Mrs. Mitch to join me.

426

She refused at first, but I kept insisting until she finally stood up and danced with me.

427

And let me tell you, that woman danced like a chicken with its head cut off.

428

I got so excited that I accidentally kicked Mrs. Mitch in the face.

429

She dropped to the floor and winced in pain.

430

I apologized about a thousand times, then left her office two minutes later, in complete shame.

431

I walked into the hallway and saw Elijah talking to his friends.

432

Then one of them suddenly started coughing like crazy.

433

Without even panicking, Elijah stepped behind him, did the Heimlich maneuver, and saved him in three seconds.

434

His friends crowded around him, thanking him and patting his back.

435

And I'm sorry, but it was the hottest thing I had ever seen.

436

Then, Elijah noticed me and walked over.

437

Hey, you.

438

I've been trying to call you for the past few days.

439

Everything okay?

440

Yeah, mate.

441

I mean, buddy.

442

Actually, you're not my buddy.

443

I mean, you are, technically, because you're not my enemy, but...

444

Oh, God, I'm nervous.

445

I like how you go from scary to crazy to shy.

446

It's like I'm dating three different girls in one.

447

Yeah.

448

Three in one.

449

Elijah invited me for Slurpees, and we talked for a while.

450

I kept checking over my shoulder every three seconds, terrified that my sisters were watching.

451

Then, Elijah's phone rang.

452

Yes, doctor.

453

You're taking her to the hospital?

454

Okay, I'm coming now.

455

His face changed completely.

456

Later, I found out his mom had Crohn's disease and needed constant care.

457

They're taking her to urgent care.

458

I have to go.

459

Where's that?

460

At the hospital.

461

No, I know urgent care is at a hospital.

462

I meant, where is the hospital?

463

Like, do you want me to come with you?

464

Actually, wait, I just remembered mom needs my help with something.

465

I'm really sorry.

466

Elijah gave me a reassuring nod.

467

Then he asked for my new number, and I told him I'd get one soon.

468

I liked Elijah a lot.

469

Maybe if I got a new phone behind my family's back and talked to him in secret, no one would know.

470

So, I decided to convince my sisters to do one more of our totally harmless little scans,

471

so I could make enough money to buy an iPhone.

472

A few days later, my sisters and I had our next plan ready.

473

I knocked on Molly's door, and when she opened it, she immediately rolled her eyes.

474

What do you want, idiot?

475

I heard about your.. cheer regionals, and I made something that could help.

476

Unless it's a new personality for you, I'm not interested.

477

It's a serum.

478

You put one drop in your competitor's water or juice, and they get dizzy enough to lose.

479

No color, no smell, no taste.

480

Please, I wasn't born yesterday.

481

She started to shut the door, but I stopped her.

482

Wait, let me put one drop in your water bottle, Then you decide.

483

I grabbed the bottle from her hand and added our serum, which was literally just water.

484

Molly lifted the bottle and took a sip.

485

That's when Riot stepped out from behind the wall.

486

Molly looked down and saw two of us standing there.

487

Her face went pale.

488

Riot and I moved our lips in perfect sync.

489

What?

490

Is it working?

491

There are two of you.

492

Then let's try one more drop.

493

I added another drop while Molly kept drinking, and Queen stepped out from the other side.

494

Now how many of us do you see?

495

Oh my god, how much of this stuff do you have?

496

Atta girl.

497

And just like that, we sold

498

Molly a bunch of plain water for a fortune.

499

I finally had enough money to buy a new phone behind my sister's backs.

500

A week later, I saw Elijah in class and slipped him my new number.

501

Why did you get a new number?

502

We were literally texting this morning from your old one.

503

Oh my god.

504

Unbelievable.

505

Of course, it was Queen.

506

I got so angry that I decided to skip the rest of school and go home to confront her.

507

In my head, I was brave.

508

I was powerful.

509

I was finally going to stand up for myself.

510

Then I walked into the living room and saw

511

Queen lying on the couch, casually picking her teeth with the tip of her pocket knife.

512

And just like that, I lost all courage.

513

Queen asked why I was home so early, so I panicked and lied, saying I'd forgotten my math project.

514

Then I grabbed a random notebook from the table and ran back out before she could ask anything else.

515

Weird nerd.

516

Mom, are my seven boiled eggs ready?

517

And don't forget the salt.

518

If you mix it up with sugar again, I'm breaking every single egg in this house.

519

Of course, honey.

520

I'm reading the label very slowly.

521

When I got back to school and reached the classroom door, I peeked through the little window and saw

522

Riot sitting in our seat, giggling and passing notes to Elijah.

523

What was this airhead doing here?

524

She knew Wednesdays were my day.

525

I ran to the bathroom before anyone could see me and expose us.

526

I stayed there until break, and finally, Riot came in to pee.

527

I jumped out from behind her, and she screamed.

528

I slapped a hand over her mouth.

529

Shh!

530

Shut up, you stupid waste of space.

531

What the heck are you doing here?

532

Well, I saw you come home early, so I snuck out while you were talking to Queen.

533

What brought you back?

534

Are you seriously this dumb, or did you escape from a museum of rare brain defects?

535

Oh, so now we're using big words.

536

Fine.

537

Here's a big one.

538

You are Delulu.

539

That's literally short for delusional.

540

Jesus, I'm going to kill you.

541

Riot and I whisper -fought for at least five minutes until we heard someone calling our name from outside.

542

Grace!

543

Grace, answer me!

544

Get out here!

545

I know you scammed me, you broke little liar!

546

Riot and I looked at each other like we'd just seen a ghost.

547

Then Riot started panicking.

548

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we're doomed!

549

I grabbed Riot by the shoulders and told her to shut the hell up

550

and hide behind the door while I dealt with Molly.

551

Then I stepped out.

552

The second Molly saw me, she clenched her fist and bit her bottom lip so hard I thought she was going to swallow it.

553

Are you pooping?

554

That was it.

555

Molly charged at me.

556

She tackled me to the floor and pulled her fist back.

557

But before she could punch me, someone grabbed her wrist.

558

Knock it off, Molly.

559

Principal's office now!

560

Mrs. Mitch showed up with a bandage on her forehead from my accidental Macarena attack.

561

Molly got off me, still breathing like an angry bull, and stormed away.

562

Thank you for saving me again, Mrs. Mitch.

563

She almost caught us.

564

Just then, Riot popped up from behind the door.

565

Caught us?

566

Who's us?

567

Did you tell Mrs. Mitch about us?

568

I sighed and explained everything as quickly as I could.

569

Mrs. Mitch stared at us for a second, then looked toward the hallway.

570

Okay, we need to move fast before

571

Principal Brackett finds out I yelled at Molly.

572

He told me she was off -limits because her father is one of the school's biggest donors.

573

Greedy jerk.

574

Most of that donation money never even reaches the school, and we still have ceiling leaks in three classrooms.

575

Anyway, we need to get

576

Riot out of here without anyone seeing her.

577

How?

578

Mrs. Mitch.. slowly turned toward the janitor's big rolling trash bin, and Riot's face dropped.

579

You have got to be kidding me.

580

A minute later, Riot was curled up inside the trash bin,

581

whispering threats at both of us while Mrs. Mitch pushed her down the hallway like this was a totally normal school day.

582

Later, I begged

583

Riot not to tell

584

Queen that I had told Mrs. Mitch about us.

585

She agreed, but only if I gave her $1 ,000.

586

That shameless goblin.

587

That night, Queen found out

588

Molly had attacked me again.

589

So she vandalized

590

Molly's house, got caught by Molly's dad, and got arrested.

591

Mom went to the police station to bail her out, but she didn't have enough money.

592

Queen had already spent hers, and Riot said it wasn't her business to pay for someone else's crimes.

593

So, guess who had to use almost all the money she had left?

594

Me.

595

And to make matters worse, the next week, Elijah told me his mom needed emergency surgery.

596

I've saved up enough money from my two jobs, but it's not enough.

597

How much do you need?

598

A hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

599

I almost choked on my own tongue.

600

But then I saw his face.

601

He looked exhausted and scared, like he was trying really hard not to fall apart.

602

So naturally, because I had one secret phone and zero common sense, I said the dumbest thing possible.

603

I'll help you.

604

Grace, what?

605

No, I was just venting.

606

I don't want your money.

607

Also, where would you even get that kind of money?

608

Don't worry about that.

609

I'll figure it out.

610

Grace.

611

I'm doing this because I think I really love you, Elijah.

612

He stared at me for a second, then gently held my face and gave me the softest smile.

613

I love you too.

614

And then he kissed me.

615

For one whole second, everything felt perfect.

616

Which should have been my first warning that I was about to ruin my life.

617

The next morning, I gathered my sisters in the basement and told them everything about Elijah.

618

His mom, the surgery, the money.

619

We had about $80 ,000 saved, but we still needed one more scam to get the rest.

620

$150 ,000?

621

Are you out of your mind?

622

Well, if you hadn't gotten yourself arrested, we'd have at least a third of it.

623

Queen slammed her palm on the table so hard, Riot jumped.

624

I grabbed Queen's arm and pulled her back before she could actually kill her.

625

Queen leaned closer, blew vape smoke right in Riot's face, and spoke very quietly.

626

If you hadn't shown up to school on Tito's day, none of this would have happened, genius.

627

Let's calm down and think of some scam that could help us get that much money.

628

What scam are you thinking, Tito?

629

Yes!

630

I jumped up and hugged her while Queen stayed stiff as a statue, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.

631

The plan was simple.

632

We knew about Principal Beckett's shady embezzlement from Mrs. Mitch.

633

She hated him, so I asked her for a favor, and she gave me the info I needed.

634

After the school day ended and everyone left, I went to Principal Brackett's office first and confronted him about the missing school donation money.

635

At first, he laughed in my face.

636

Then I mentioned the private account where the money had gone, and his smile disappeared.

637

He grabbed my arm and told me to shut my mouth.

638

So I did what any brave hero would do.

639

I shoved him just enough to make him shove me back.

640

I stumbled backwards, hit my head lightly on the corner of a chair, and dropped to the floor.

641

Then I closed my eyes and pretended to be dead.

642

Principal Bracket froze, then started shaking me like crazy.

643

Then white fog started sliding under the door.

644

His face went pale.

645

A second later, Queen stepped out from behind the curtain wearing all black,

646

with dark makeup under her eyes and a scarf over her head like the world's angriest ghost.

647

You killed me, Principal Franklin Bucket.

648

How do you know that name?

649

I changed it years ago.

650

Because I am Grace's dark angel.

651

And you, Franklin Bucket, have been very, very bad.

652

Principal Brackett looked like he was about to faint.

653

Then he dropped to his knees and started praying.

654

Holy Mary, Mother of God, please don't let this child drag me to hell.

655

I'm still too young to die.

656

Then Riot climbed out from behind the bookshelf, wearing a white sheet and a crooked paper halo, and poked Principal Brackett from behind.

657

He turned around and trembled on the floor.

658

Who the hell are you?

659

I'm Grace's good angel.

660

You're supposed to say guardian angel.

661

Same department.

662

Principal Brackett started shaking so hard, his lips trembled.

663

What do you want from me?

664

To save your soul, you must return every dollar you stole from the school donation fund.

665

Transfer it to this account.

666

Now.

667

This is insane!

668

So is hell.

669

He tried to run to the door, but we had already copied the key and locked it from the inside.

670

Then he ran to the window and yanked it open.

671

For one second, I thought he was actually going to jump.

672

But then he turned around, breathing hard, and glared at Queen.

673

Wait a minute.

674

No, this is a prank.

675

You think this will work on me?

676

He stepped toward her.

677

Queen didn't even flinch.

678

She shoved him hard in the chest.

679

He stumbled back against the wall, shocked.

680

Then she pulled a pocket knife from her sock and held it close to his cheek.

681

I almost sat up and ruined the whole plan because for one terrifying second, I thought Queen might actually do something stupid.

682

The money.

683

Now.

684

He grabbed his laptop with shaking hands and transferred the money.

685

The second it went through, Queen and Riot disappeared back into the fog, opened the door, and left.

686

A few seconds later, I opened one eye, sat up, and dusted off my shirt.

687

Wow, guess I'm not dead after all.

688

Principal Brackett stared at me, trembling.

689

See you later, Mr. Bucket.

690

But then I walked out before he could faint.

691

The next day, I took the money and gave it to Elijah.

692

He was shocked, speechless, and hugged me so tightly I could barely breathe.

693

Then I excused myself to the bathroom, and Queen showed up instead.

694

She hugged him too, then quickly excused herself to the bathroom.

695

Then Riot showed up, grabbed his face, and kissed him.

696

From around the corner, Queen hissed.

697

That little snake.

698

Elijah looked extremely confused, but happy, so he just smiled and kept thanking me.

699

Grace, I owe you my life.

700

Go save your mama.

701

Elijah's mom's surgery was supposed to happen in two days, but a whole week passed and he still hadn't come back to school.

702

I got so worried that I went to his place, but it was empty.

703

I asked the neighbors

704

and they told me the guy who lived there had only rented the place for a few months

705

and left a couple of days ago.

706

I couldn't believe it.

707

Elijah had lied.

708

He didn't live there and he probably didn't even have a sick mom.

709

He did all of that just to take money from us? From me?

710

My eyes started burning and I didn't know what to do.

711

So I ran straight to Mrs. Mitch.

712

She always knew what to do.

713

But when I got to her office, half of her stuff was packed in boxes.

714

Oh, honey, I resigned.

715

Principal Brackett forced me out because he wants to hire one of his relatives.

716

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

717

Could this get any worse?

718

I sat down and started crying.

719

Then I told her everything.

720

Oh, honey, him being called Peacock should have been your first sign.

721

Wait, I never told you his name was Peacock?

722

Well, sweetheart, I'm the school counselor.

723

I hear things.

724

She turned away and started packing faster.

725

Anyway, Elijah is far away now, getting his mom treatment for her Crohn's.

726

But I never told you his mom had Crohn's.

727

Mrs. Mitch stopped moving.

728

For one second, she looked nervous.

729

Honey, I really don't have time for this.

730

I need to leave, so please.

731

That's when she picked up her car keys and I saw the keychain.

732

It was this weird handmade farmer toy with a big hat.

733

The same keychain Elijah had.

734

Oh my freaking God.

735

Mrs. Mitch was in on it.

736

She had planned this with Elijah.

737

She had listened to me, comforted me, protected my secret, and then used all of it to rob us.

738

She noticed the look on my face, and her sweet smile disappeared.

739

Before you do anything stupid, remember this.

740

I recorded our sessions.

741

If you expose me, I expose your family.

742

Your mother goes to jail, and you and your sisters get separated.

743

So be smart, Tito.

744

I couldn't move.

745

Now get the hell out of my office.

746

I stood up without saying a word and walked out, feeling like my body was moving without me.

747

You did what?

748

That night, I told my sisters everything.

749

Queen grabbed me by the collar, but I didn't even react.

750

Maybe if you two actually listened to me, or cared about me, or respected me even a little.

751

I wouldn't have gone looking for love from a stranger.

752

Just then, Riot slapped me.

753

Are you listening to yourself?

754

You're the smart.. one, the strong one.

755

Since when do smart, strong people need love?

756

For my whole life, I thought I was the weak one, the boring one, the bullied one.

757

But maybe I wasn't.

758

Maybe I was the reasonable sister, the one who kept saving everyone.

759

And somehow, I had never realized my sister saw me that way.

760

Wait, you think I'm smart and strong?

761

Obviously. And pretty?

762

I didn't say pretty.

763

We have the exact same face.

764

Yeah, but Queen is the scary one, I'm the fun one, and you're the responsible one.

765

I'd use a different word than fun.

766

Are you two done with your TED talk, or should I bring snacks?

767

We need to fix this mess before it gets worse.

768

And no one, and I mean no one, steals from Queen.

769

I nodded slowly, like some ancient philosopher who had just discovered wisdom.

770

I have a plan.

771

The next day, I went to Principal Brackett's office.

772

He almost fainted when he saw me.

773

Then he grabbed a cross from his desk and held it up like I was a vampire.

774

What do you want from me?

775

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

776

Relax.

777

I just want Mrs. Mitch's phone number, where she is, and everything you can find on Elijah White.

778

Yes, of course.

779

I'll contact some people.

780

You'll have everything in an hour.

781

A few days later, Mrs. Mitch walked into an abandoned building and found Elijah waiting inside.

782

What are you doing here?

783

Why did you want to meet here?

784

I told you no contact for a few weeks.

785

What are you talking about?

786

You sent me a message to come here.

787

Just then, Queen stepped out from the shadows.

788

Actually, I sent both of you the message.

789

I think we should all talk.

790

They both looked shocked for a second, but Mrs. Mitch pulled herself together fast.

791

Oh, Tito sent you?

792

That weak, dumb little girl?

793

I told her I had the recordings.

794

Yeah, about that.

795

Remember the link you clicked yesterday?

796

Tito hacked your computer and deleted the recordings.

797

And as for the recorder in your car, Riot is outside taking care of it.

798

Mrs. Mitch's face, twisted.

799

Are you crazy?

800

I'll report you.

801

I'll ruin your lives.

802

Please, Queen.

803

She made me do it.

804

She knew I was new, broke, and desperate, and she used that to drag me into her plan.

805

I was just like you.

806

I thought she cared.

807

I liked you guys, and I really cared about Tito.

808

Shut up, you idiot.

809

I don't have time for this.

810

She tried to walk past

811

Queen, but Queen flicked her lighter and tossed it before her next step.

812

The second it hit the floor, fire shot up.

813

Mrs. Mitch screamed and stumbled back.

814

She tried to run the other way, but flames erupted there too.

815

Then another path lit up, cutting her off from the exit.

816

She stood there, trapped and panicking.

817

Are you crazy?

818

We're all going to die!

819

I don't care.

820

At least that would make

821

Mom's life easier.

822

Two daughters are easier to hide than three.

823

Elijah started panicking too and turned on her.

824

This is all your fault.

825

You dragged me into your mess and now we're all gonna die.

826

You knew I was broke.

827

You knew I grew up in foster homes and didn't have anyone.

828

So you acted like you cared, and I was stupid enough to believe you.

829

My sister is outside, Mrs. Mitch.

830

She can save you after you sign these papers.

831

I'll sign whatever you want.

832

Just get me out of here before this place goes up.

833

Queen made her transfer all the money back to Mom's account.

834

Then she shoved a stack of papers in front of her, and Mrs. Mitch signed them without reading.

835

The paper said she was giving us half her belongings, including the huge house she bought with stolen money.

836

We weren't going to take any of it, but if she ever threatened us again, we had our own threat ready.

837

When she finally looked up, disgusted, she glared at Queen.

838

Shame on you, Queen.

839

Tito would never do this.

840

She's too weak and scared.

841

You should be more like her.

842

But then I took off

843

Queen's sharp glasses and put on my round nerdy ones.

844

Mrs. Mitch froze.

845

It's me, Tito.

846

You know, the weak one, the scared one, the one you thought would never fight back.

847

And you still couldn't tell I wasn't queen.

848

You knew there were three of us, Mrs. Mitch.

849

But you built your whole scam around that secret, and you still got fooled by a pair of glasses and some attitude.

850

And you had the nerve to call me dumb, you stupid manipulative fraud.

851

Mrs. Mitch's face collapsed and she started crying.

852

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just get me the hell out of here!

853

I whistled and Queen dropped a rope from above.

854

Mrs. Mitch grabbed it immediately.

855

Then it was Elijah's turn.

856

I'm sorry, Tito.

857

I was weak and helpless, just like you.

858

And she used me.

859

I looked at him for a second.

860

Just go, Elijah.

861

And with that, he left.

862

Then I followed after him.

863

Later that week, someone knocked on the door.

864

Mom opened it, and seconds later, she stormed back in and shut the door.

865

There is a boy outside asking for Tito.

866

He literally said, Can I speak to Grace, Tito?

867

What is going on?

868

It's okay, Mom.

869

I'll handle this.

870

I opened the door, and Elijah was standing there.

871

The moment he saw me, he gave me this nervous little smile.

872

First of all, I can't tell you how sorry I am.

873

And I don't expect you to forgive me.

874

But I feel terrible.

875

And I miss you.

876

I miss the way your left eye twitches before you laugh.

877

The way you scratch your nose before you say something smart.

878

The way you comb your front strands with your fingers before you nod.

879

And the way you play with your ear before you get emotional.

880

Just like now.

881

I immediately moved my hand away from my ear.

882

Okay, that was very specific and beautiful.

883

Also, I brought this bag.

884

He lifted a small duffel bag and handed it to me.

885

This was my share.

886

Mrs. Mitch gave it to me after everything.

887

I didn't spend it.

888

I couldn't.

889

Not after what we did to you.

890

I looked inside and saw stacks of cash.

891

Your family needs it more than I do.

892

And there's something else inside.

893

Underneath the cash, there was something else.

894

A portrait made from hundreds of tiny painted pictures of me.

895

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
