From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 29

Just then, Lauren beckoned Anthea over.

Anthea glanced at Baldie, saying, “Sorry, I gotta run over there.”

With those words, she jogged away.

“Baldie, what were you chatting about with her?” Harriet approached with a frown, “Be careful she doesn’t lead you astray!”

From the get–go, Harriet never considered Anthea a good influence, fearful that she might corrupt her precious son.

Baldie chuckled, “Mom, I was just hearing that Anthea goes to Northbridge High School. I think you might be misunderstanding her.”

Worthbridge High School?” Harriet scoffed, “Why doesn’t she just claim she’s at Apex Ascent

College?”

Apex Ascent College was the top one university in Capital City, a dream school for many students.

But with sky–high entrance requirements, only a handful of students from out–of–town got admitted each year.
