Born to Rock (2006)
“THE HOMESTRETCH. HIGH SCHOOL, for all intents and purposes, was over. The big exams had all been taken. Grades—at least the ones that would be reported to colleges and universities—were already set. Class attendance was sparse, and even the teachers didn’t seem to mind.
The buzz was about next year—who would be going where. Melinda had final acceptance from U. Conn., and four schools were actually competing for Owen. Despite average SATs and lukewarm grades, Connecticut’s diamond in the rough w...ould be cruising to a full ride somewhere. At least it meant Borman wouldn’t get his way.
Gates was (where else?) Stanford-bound, and Fleming and Shelby both got the nod from Yale. Somebody had to be the sickening lovebirds of the incoming freshman class, I guess. I was just happy they’d be sickening somebody else for a change.
At our next Young Republicans meeting, good old Flem brought in stacks of newspaper clippings claiming that his Yale had surpassed my Harvard in the college rankings.MoreLess
