“Drive.”
The driver had seen just how fierce Charlotte could be, so there was no way he was going to argue with her. He started the car right away, tires spinning as they sped off and left a cloud of dust behind.
...
Vanguard High School.
This was the most prestigious high school in Cabinda, maybe even in the whole country. Every year, one hundred percent of its students got into top universities.
To get into Vanguard, you either had to be seriously talented or come from a family with money or power. For most people, getting accepted was nothing more than a dream.
The car rolled to a stop.
Charlotte stepped out, tossed her bag over her shoulder, and headed straight for the main entrance.
The driver stared after her, completely stunned, and hurried to call out, “Charlotte, Mr. Main set you up to attend Pathfinder Academy…”
She’d asked him to switch routes partway through the drive, but he never imagined she was taking him here, of all places. Vanguard High School? She was just a girl from a rural school who hadn’t even finished her senior year. How could she possibly have the right to walk through those doors?
Charlotte just gave him a quick, easy smile, skipped any explanation, and walked up to the gate. She exchanged a few words with the security guard, and just like that, he waved her inside.
The driver could only stare, totally confused.
...
Once she was inside, Charlotte asked for directions to the principal’s office. She slung her bag over her shoulder and made her way through the crowded halls.
It was the busiest time of day, and students were everywhere. Since she hadn’t received her uniform yet, her looks and her different style of dress made her stand out, especially among all those students in matching uniforms.
“Who is that? What class is she from? She’s gorgeous.”
“I’ve never seen her before. Maybe she’s new.”
“Is she really one of us? She’s so pretty! Let’s go see where she’s going!”
“Aren’t we supposed to watch the basketball game?”
