Chloe raised her eyebrows with a wicked smirk and opened her hands. Plastic stars and glass lezzes shattered into thousands of pieces across the floor. Chloe! I screamed, lunging forward.

My mother's face heartened, shoving me back with pure disgust. It's just a cheap toy. Chloe, do you have to make such a loud scene? Chloe's emotions are delicate.

You provoked her in front of everyone. Of course she lashed out. What did you expect? She broke my stuff! That's my college gift! Your stuff?
