Chapter 58


    Summer brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek. Her eyshes cast a delicate shadow over her


    serene expression. With a gentle smile, she murmured, “I’ll do my best.”


    “With your grades, you’ve got this in the bag!” Madeline chimed in, never missing an opportunity to sing


    her praises.


    Summer’s face remained impassive. “Thepetition’s fierce this time. We’re talking about national


    whiz kids from all corners of the country.”


    “But you’ve got nothing to worry about,” Madeline reassured her, “Parkside High School is top–liur


    nationally, and it we’re talking about academic gods, you’re the real deal.”


    Madeline winked and paused for dramatic effect before adding with a grin. “And look at you, the darling


    of Superstar Camp. If you snag a state or national ranking now, Just imagine the followers you’ll rake


    in!”


    Summer’s double life as a Parkside High School schr and a budding talent had been well–marketed


    by her agency, Half her fanbase were students who idolized her.


    Imagine someone who’s not only gorgeous and kind–hearted but can also sing, dance, and ace the

    trying too hard to be something she’s not. You know what I mean?”


    Mirabe hummed nomittally but then added after a pause, “I don’t watch TV shows.”


    Jenna’s eyes widened. “Holy cow, where have you been living, in the countryside? How can you not


    watch TV shows?” A sly smile yed on Mirabe’s lips as she asked, “Does watching TV shows boost


    your grades?”


    Jenna was stumped by the question, unable to muster a response.
