Yvette glanced at her simple - minded brother and nodded . " Mhm . " Clifford's expression cooled , then rearranged itself into a smile . " That's great ! We'll be in the same grade then . We can look out for each other . " Clifford was not only the school heartthrob but also an academic genius in the Grade 12 Honors Class , ranking in the top three in his grade . His offer to " look out for each other " was merely polite talk . Yvette paid his words no mind , instead looking down to reply to a text message . A senior texted , " Are you sure you don't want to join the Honors Class ? I think their pace is the only one that might barely keep up with you . " Yvette texted back , " No , I need to keep an eye on my brother in the International Class . " The boy lamented with sighs and a flood of emoticons expressing profound regret and reluctance . Meanwhile , in the principal's office at Solara High School , the secretary , Cary Jackson , seeing the principal sighing , couldn't help but ask , " Is something wrong ? Oh , right , I heard the sickly heiress of the Duckworth family is coming to our school . The Hawley family specifically contacted us . Given her poor health , should we inform the teachers to give her special consideration ? " Cary felt a wave of sympathy upon hearing the girl had been fighting cancer in the hospital for three years . A young girl with cancer was pitiable . He thought they should offer help where they could . The principal shook his head . " That won't be necessary . " " Pitiable ? That's a troublemaker in disguise , if anything , " he wondered . *** " Yvette's situation is unique . Everything's in the file . Mr. Lowis , we'd like you to take her on , Let's touch base if any issues come up . " 0.00 % 07:07 Chapter 30 288 iVouchers Bernard Lewis had been called into the principal's office first thing . He left holding a new student's dossier . Solara High School was an expensive private institution . Anyone transferring in this late had to come from serious money . He wasn't wrong . A glance at the file confirmed it . Her last name was Hawley . As the heiress of both the Duckworth family from Ravenbrook and the Hawley family , she was doted on by everyone and set to inherit two major fortunes . " No wonder she was so impressive . With a background like that , it's hardly surprising she got the principal himself involved , " he wondered . Bernard didn't expect academic miracles . He just hoped she wouldn't drag his class average into the gutter . He spun his pen absently , reading further . What he saw made him slam the pen down and rub his temples . He thought , " Ridiculous . Totally ridiculous ! Out of school since middle school ? Trying to jump straight into senior year ? Is she out of her mind ?! " No. I can't accept a student I can't discipline . Nothing but a troublemaker ! " " Yvette , this is your homeroom teacher , Mr. Lewis , " Leonard Sexton , a moral education director , said with practiced warmth as he guided Yvette into the faculty office . " Mr. Lewis , I'll leave Yvette in your capable hands . Please make sure she's well taken care of . " Bernard looked up and sized up the new student . He wondered , " Typical heiress vibe ! Dressed like she was about to walk down a runway . Flashy . Audacious . " That high ? Is she wearing heels ? " Clearly , her mind isn't on her studies . " His eyes landed on her face as he frowned . " Why are you wearing a mask ? Take it off . " Yvette's refusal was polite but firm . " Sorry . I have a medication allergy . I need to keep it on . " Great . Defiant , too , " he wondered . 30 33 07.07 Chapter 30 288 Vouchers Bernard turned to the lingering director . " Where is her entrance exam transcript ? " Leonard blinked , momentarily thrown . " Yvette was admitted under special provisions . Her academic record is exceptional . An entrance exam wasn't deemed necessary ... " " Then I'm sorry . Without an entrance exam score , I cannot accept her , " Bernard stated , his tone turning frosty . " It's against school policy . " Every kid , regardless of their family's bank account , had to take the entrance exam for Solara High School . If their scores weren't up to par , money didn't matter . Bernard hadn't realized the school would bend the rules this far for Yvette . Leonard looked uncomfortable . Bernard's stance was technically correct , but Yvette was a special case . He tried to explain , " Mr. Lewis , if you've reviewed Yvette's file , you'd see that she ... " " Rules exist for a reason . If we break them on a whim , what message does that send to the thousands of students who followed them ? " Bernard held his ground .
