Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Clara’s POV:

I arrived at school an hour early, because I retained all of my memories from my previous life, I would be able to develop the drug much sooner. As I made my way to the lab, my friend Christine ran up to me filled with excitement.

“OMG!!! I can’t believe you got accepted into Lexington TWO WHOLE YEARS in advance and didn’t tell

me!”

My eyes bulged, how in the hell did she know? Dammit Mrs. Fraizer you promised! Annoyed, I quickly placed my hand over her mother.

“Christine! How did you find out!”

Christine lifted her hands as if to say, “I won’t say anything!” Moving my hand, she began to explain.

“I saw it in the office. You know I volunteer there sometimes. Don’t worry, Mrs. Fraizer already told me

not to say anything!”

I let out a deep sigh, thanks Mrs. Fraizer, slightly chuckling, I pulled Christine into the lab.

“I just need to keep it a secret until I transfer, I don’t want my father to know.”

Christine’s face twitched up, she knew all too well about how my family treated me. She couldn’t

stand Sophie or Jason.

“Yeah she told me you want to surprise him. Honestly Clara, that man doesn’t deserve it.”

Smiling, I hugged my friend of over two years. In that little time, she’d shown me more love that my family in a lifetime. I wanted to give her reassurance,

“I just told Mrs. Fraizer that so she wouldn’t pry. I could care less about surprises that man, I just don’t want him to interfere. Once I’m in, he’ll be too embarrassed if he tries to pull his prodigy daughter from

his own alma mater.”

Christine smiled with pride, finally her friend would stop trying to please those horrible people! Wrapping her arms around her waist, she cheered with joy.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!! Forget those stupid people! You’re the daughter Caroline Rouleau! There is nothing prouder than that!”

Hearing those words brought tears to my eyes, in my previous life, I’d spent so much time trying to please those people that I’d forgotten whose daughter I really was! Not this this time, this time I

would make sure the world remembered my mother!

After school, I made my way to the front office to pick up my acceptance letter, the day I applied, I asked Mrs. Fraizer to have the letter sent to the school, I was glad she obliged. As soon as I walked

into the office, she had a huge smile on her face.

“See! I told you! Congratulations!”

She gave me huge hug and handed me the letter. Finally, I’d be on my way out of that house and

into a real lab. I only needed the two years because a key ingredient to the medication would not be available until 2023, so I decided to spend my time putting everything else together while also creating additional medicinal remedies I created in my previous life. I decided to head back to the lab to finish up some more equations.

I got home around 5pm, and when I walked through the door everyone was in the living room. My father had an unreadable look on his face while Jason and Sophie looked annoyed. ‘What are you all gonna blame me for now‘, was I could think as I walked further in.

“Is something wrong father?”

Years of watching Sophie play the poor damsel in distress taught me how to play meek. My father

stood up and walked over to me, suddenly, his hand reached towards me. I thought for sure he was

going to hit to I flinched on natural reaction. Instead, he handed me a paper.

My acceptance letter. Shit,

For a brief moment, he almost looked soft, shortly after, his face hardened back up.

“Why didn’t you tell me you not applied to Lexington, but got accepted into their early bio–chem program?”
