One year on Christmas, Waverly’s brother, Vincent, received a chess set. He refused to let Waverly play but later gave in. After he grew bored with the game, Waverly took over and began to study it. This set the SCENE for her to become a young chess prodigy.
Waverly went to many tournaments and won. She learned from others and developed an eye for seeing moves ahead of time. By the time she was nine, she was a national chess champion. Her mother would show her off to others by saying, “This is my daughter Wave-ly Jong,” to anyone who looked their way. Waverly grew tired of being the center of attention and told her mom to stop telling everyone that she is her daughter. They had a fight and Waverly ran off. She returned later that night, but was not welcomed home.
