A scream escaped her lips. "I hate this. I'm so shit at it." Sakaala dropped to her hands and knees.
I held out a hand. "Come on, get up." She slapped my hand away.
"Why does everyone find this easy except me?"
Gisael turned and looked away. I think she was biting her tongue.
"No one finds it easy, but you do have to work harder than those with a high qi-count. That much is true. So, stop feeling sorry for yourself and fight for it. If you want it enough, you can do it."
She glared at me. "Is this where you try to be all wise? I know you're a failure in real life so please spare me."
"Nothing good comes easy." I did not add the exception for filthy rich kids or respond to her insult. There would be no excuses and an entitled upbringing would be one she could latch on to. "You either want it, or you don't. I don't want to hear your complaints."
