Chapter 6 - Aiden’s Phone Holds Another Video
Aiden asked to speak with Liam privately.
Rachel allowed it with school staff nearby.
Aiden looked ashamed.
“My mom told me your dad was some random guy.”
Liam said nothing.
“She said people exaggerate things to get sympathy.”
Aiden pulled out his phone.
“I think she lied about more.”
The video from that afternoon began before the drink was thrown.
Aiden had been filming a joke with friends.
In the background, Vanessa and Charles were talking.
Charles said:
“You knew exactly whose kid that was.”
Vanessa answered:
“And I told the board not to let him in.”
Then Charles said:
“Stop before someone brings up the fund.”
Vanessa replied:
“That’s exactly why he shouldn’t be here.”
Aiden stared at his shoes.
“I didn’t know what they meant.”
Rachel did.
The humiliation at the gate had not begun because Liam bumped into
Aiden.

Vanessa had already resented his presence.
The accident was only an excuse.
