Additionally, my parents had also been interviewed by reporters, and what they said only made things worse

Mom and Henry told the reporters I had behaved shadily since I was little. I had always scored highly on my exams despite not studying much.

Additionally, I also didn’t have many friends as a child and didn’t get along well with others. Despite this, I had always had a good relationship with Mr. Holland, who had also adored me from the start.
