From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 363

\"I swear I know her!\"

\"Sure, you do.\"

\"No, really! She's the star of class 7 at Northbridge High School! Super famous there!\"

\"No wonder she's so gorgeous... a school celebrity, huh...\"

Soon enough, Anthea found her way to the exam hall. There were two teachers guarding both the front and back doors. Entering the hall, not only did they pat you down, but they also ran a metal detector over you.

At the front of the line was a bespectacled guy who set off the detector continuously at his back, making the proctors exchange weird glances. "Got something on you? Why's it beeping at your back?"

Normally, you'd expect beeping at the back for girls, not guys... That was a bit hard to believe.

As soon as these words were out, not only did others start looking their way, but the guy's face also turned beet red. "I... I'm not wearing anything weird..."

Just then, a few girls standing beside the guy discreetly stepped back a few steps. The once incessant beeping of the metal detector suddenly stopped. Realizing the mix-up, the proctor said, "Go on in."

With a quick pace, the guy hurried inside.

Anthea, having prepared by wearing all cotton undergarments, passed the metal detector without any issue. She smoothly entered the exam hall. Choosing a seat by the window, she only needed to slightly turn her head to enjoy the lush greenery of summer outside.

Facing Anthea, the boy's cheeks flushed, and he nodded. "Yes."

"What's up?" Anthea asked.

The boy went on, "I'm Palmer, we were in the same exam hall. I was in the middle group, you were in the first. Can we be friends? Which high school are you from?"

"I'm from Northbridge High School," Anthea replied.

"I'm from Central Town High, right next to your school," Palmer continued. "Being in the same hall must be fate. How about we exchange numbers?"
