Chapter 58
Summer brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek. Her eyelashes 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. “The competition’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 scholar 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 BrainSpark Nationals. She was the epitome of a perfect girl in the eyes of many!
She radiated the youthful positivity, that made her a surefire blueprint for a school’s poster child.

Mirabella turned to Jenna with a raised eyebrow. “Are you one of her fans?”
Jenna shrugged and shook her head, “Not at all. Don’t you think she’s a bit too… fake? Like she’s trying too hard to be something she’s not. You know what I mean?”
Mirabella hummed noncommittally but then added after a pause, “I don’t watch TV shows.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenna’s eyes widened. “Holy cow, where have you been living, in the countryside? How can you not watch TV shows?” A sly smile played on Mirabella’s lips as she asked, “Does watching TV shows boost your grades?”
Jenna was stumped by the question, unable to muster a response.
“And don’t knock the countryside. It might just produce a lionhearted champion,” Mirabella added with an enigmatic
tone.
Jenna touched her nose, feeling suddenly out of sync in the conversation.
As they passed Summer, Mirabella barely glanced her way. She was tall and had a backpack casually slung over one shoulder. Her cool detached demeanor radiated a boldness that could outshine any
boy’s bravado.
From behind her sunglasses. Summer’s gaze darkened for just a moment before she called out, “Mirabella, Emmitt’s picking me up today. Let’s walk out together,”
