Gordon scoffed. They’re giving us the cold shoulder now. Just walt until you become successful. You will be too good for them when that time comes!“.
After some more small talk with Gordon, Carlisle ended the call.
He had just walked to the field when an announcement was made through the school’s PA system. Carlisle Zahn, please take a look at the school building.”
Carlisle stopped in his tracks. He turned his head toward the school building. There was a figure that was
standing at the top of the building.
Then, a gigantic banner was unrolled downward like a waterfall.
“Heartfelt congratulations to Carlisle Zahn from Class 3A for entering Riverland University!”
The voice in the announcement alerted all the students. Everyone glanced over.
“Isn’t that Ms. Tumer?”
“Dang, what was Carlisle’s test score that the teacher even put up a banner for him?”
“I think he scored 1400!”
Soon enough, quite a number of students had walked to Carlisle’s side. As for Carlisle, he gave a nod of acknowledgment in the direction of the school building.
Lucy watched the group of students on the field. Tears welled up in her eyes. After a while, she left the
roof after a few of her colleagues convinced her to do so.
The students surrounded Carlisle, asking him whether he was having a college entrance celebration. They were eager to go so that they could drink.
Carlisle was smiling from ear to ear. He urged, “Those who want a drink can come with me to Sunago
Restaurant right now!”
“Let me go back and get some money. I need to make sure I have enough congratulatory money!”
“ed to make a trip back too!”
“Why do you want to head back? How much do you guys need? I can lend it to you!” Sean offered as he whipped out ten 100–dollar bills from his pocket.
The students were floored. That looked like a thousand dollars. Sean was loaded!

who owned a Walkman.
Herman rubbed his hands together and said, “Sean, please lend me 20 dollars!”
Abigail took out some money from her pocket and inspected them.
In this generation, congratulatory money was usually around 10 to 20 dollars.
She did have 20 dollars, but they were in the form of small change. That didn’t look good.
Quentin didn’t have any money on him. He, too, borrowed 20 dollars from Sean.
Some other students borrowed money from Sean as well. He didn’t refuse all those who requested. He went to the tuck shop outside to get some small change. Then, he distributed 20 dollars to each student.
Sarah and Sienna were pushing their bikes as they walked over.
They heard that the other students were borrowing money. Sienna couldn’t help but ask, “Is there a graduation gathering?”
Herman explained, “Nope. We’re planning to go to Carlisle’s college entrance party!”
Sienna curled her lips. She turned behind to take a glance at Sarah.
Sarah walked over while pushing her bike. She directed her question at Carlisle. “Can I attend your college entrance celebration?”
Carlisle smiled slightly. “We’re schoolmates. Of course you can!”
A smile flashed across Sarah’s face. She then said to Sean, “Sean, let me borrow 20 dollars too!”
Sean faked a smile. “Is Belle Gates short of money?”
Sarah glared at him. “I didn’t bring any money out today. How about that?”

with 20 dollars.
She was sure that if she borrowed money from Sean, he would not make her return it.
Sean handed 20 dollars to Sarah.
A moment later, all the students received 20 dollars each. They followed Carlisle and Sean to Sunago
Restaurant.
Rainville Hotel was right opposite Sunago Restaurant. It was also one of the few major hotels in Rainville.
The seven–story hotel stood out like a sore thumb among all the smaller buildings around it. From its furnishi to its scale, it was incomparable to Sunago Restaurant.
Three ago, Gerard Zahn had returned to Rainville with his wife and daughter, Maria and Kelly.
He wanted to hold a grand college entrance celebration for Kelly. So, he spent 30 thousand dollars and made a reservation for the entire hotel.
At this moment, Gerard and Maria stood outside, welcoming guests with wide smiles.
Maria glanced at Gordon and Hilda, who were standing across the street. She beamed.
She waved at them and shouted, “Gordon, Maria, don’t wait anymore. Carlisle will not qualify for college.
“You should hurry and come over to Kelly’s college entrance celebration instead. And don’t worry about giving any congratulatory money!”
