I must've messed up . This has to be somebody else's score , " Phoebe stammered , staring at the name on the big screen . But it was definitely Kaia's name .

Andrea's eyes were red as she clutched her clothes so tight her knuckles turned white . ' No way ! How could Kaia pull this off ? She's useless . She's nothing compared to me ,' she thought .

" Andrea silently prayed he was right . Lincoln and Ruth were still reeling from the news . But hearing Andrea and Louis , they started to believe Kaia must have cheated . If anyone found out , the Bennett family would be the joke of the whole city , They pulled Kaia aside . " Tell us the truth - did you cheat ? " Kaia figured a perfect score would shut down all the doubts , and her parents would stop thinking she was making things up . But nope - they still didn't buy it and even thought she'd cheated . " You just take Andrea's word for it , huh ? Do you really think the SAT is that easy to cheat on ? Do you think all the proctors are blind ?

Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow , and I'll make it , " Ruth added . Andrea glared at Kaia . Lincoln and Ruth were softening toward her , and even Louis's attitude was shifting . This was bad . She needed to do something - fast . ' Congrats , Kaia . However you pulled it off - whether it was luck or you happened to see the same questions beforehand - you passed . To celebrate , you can pick any piece of my jewelry , " Andrea said with a sweet smile that didn't reach her eyes . ' Wow , Andrea , you're so thoughtful .

" So thoughtful you called my painting fake and got Grandma to rip up a real Collin original . So thoughtful that you gave Phoebe my info to try and humiliate me in front of everyone .

" Phoebe , tell her I didn't give it to you . " Phoebe had planned to cover for Andrea , but before she could speak , Kaia said , " Phoebe , think carefully before you answer . If Andrea didn't give you my info , how'd you get it ? Did you break into my room and steal it ? " Phoebe froze , not knowing how to explain .

This is all on you ! " Phoebe shot back . " Phoebe ! You're awful ! " Andrea snapped . " I'm awful ? You're worse ! Kaia's your sister . Even if you're not blood , you're family . If she looks bad , so do you and your parents . Don't you get that ? Or maybe you do get it , but you just don't care .
