Chapter 12 - Betsy asks whether Julian stole her future

“No.”

I answered immediately.

Betsy looked disappointed by the simplicity.

“But she said he gets it because boy.”

“Octavia said that.”

“So he stole it.”

“No.”

“What do I get?”

“Right now?”

“Yes.”

“Homework.”

She stared at me.

Cruel parenting.

I explained:

“Grandpa’s company has rules about who might lead later. Nobody has promised you that job.”

“Can girls?”

“Yes.”

“Can boys?”

“Yes.”

“Can I say no?”

That stopped me.

“Absolutely.”

She brightened.

“Good.”

Why?

“I want to make cartoons.”

Perfect.
