Chapter 2 Entering Junior High School

  What's next then?

  If there are no accidents, $500,000 will soon be in the account, and at that time, I can do many things myself. After all, the first pot of gold is the hardest to earn, but after having money, it's just making more money, especially for someone like me who has the advantage of rebirth.

  However, she didn't have much time because her middle school was a boarding school.

  Why choose boarding school? It's also related to ballet.

  Although she thought ballet was beautiful in her previous life, and had practiced hard in this life as well, Catherine gradually discovered that ballet was much more difficult than she had imagined, especially after switching from soft-soled shoes to toe shoes. Moreover, Catherine did not want to become a "thick-legged MM".

  Girton Girls' High School was founded in 1853 and is a boarding school for girls, offering courses from grade 7 to 12.

  In America, junior high school is 7th-9th grade, which is a bit different from China. However, in the 21st century, China also seems to have started changing the name of junior high school.

  Greer Girls' High School is one of the top 100 high schools in the United States, but the number of students admitted each year is only around 100 or so, and the total number of students on campus is always between 200-500, which is very, very small.

  This school is located in Pennsylvania, which is just below New York City, and it only takes a few hours to drive there. The school adopts small class sizes, with an average of 9 students per class, and the number of teachers is nearly one hundred.

  Don't look at the small number of people, this school covers a total area of 130 hectares. The campus has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an indoor sports hall (including a basketball court), a riding arena, football fields, tennis courts, etc., providing a comprehensive learning environment. Teaching buildings, lecture halls, dance practice rooms, libraries, restaurants, cafes, post offices, and student health centers are also indispensable.

  The dormitory arrangement is also excellent, with 2 people per room, 2 rooms sharing a set of bathroom facilities, and the members of the dormitory are selected by themselves, so they can live with their good friends.

  It was precisely because of these advantages that Catherine chose this school.

  In the United States, summer vacation starts in May and school begins in September. Catherine's birthday is on June 1st, after which she officially turns 12 years old, or virtually 13 years old according to Chinese age reckoning.

  According to the schedule, "Harry Potter" will be released on October 1st. However, Catherine estimates that it may take about two volumes after its release for it to start selling hot, after all, according to some sayings, this is a "slow heat".

  The school is very big, but there are few students, and the learning environment of Griel Girls' Middle School is quite good.

  These are Catherine's thoughts after she came to school for registration on August 31st.

  However, her tragic fate has not been changed - she still returned to New York for ballet class over the weekend.

  "Accursed capitalism."

  Catherine could only let out such a sigh of emotion.

  "My name is Lily, Lily Padka, I'm fourteen years old, in eighth grade, and I love Elvis' music..."

  When new students enter school, the school will select students who are a little older than them to pair with these new students, so that they can adapt to school life quickly.

  Catherine was no exception, this seemingly pretty young girl in front of her was enthusiastically introducing herself.

  She was wearing a slightly tight beige floral dress with a large camera hanging from her neck.

  "This school is really good."

  Gazing at the beautiful scenery, Catherine exclaimed in admiration.

  "Catherine, over there is the horse racing track, during physical education class we will learn equestrianism there."

  As Catherine listened to Lily's explanation, she increasingly found that the education she received in her previous life and American education were two completely different things. Although American behavior was indeed unpleasant, it was undeniable that they had their advantages.

  "Just call me Kate."

  "Alright then, you can call me Lily too, Kate."

  Lily smiled, this lovely blonde girl was not like the traditional American notion of a dumb blonde. To be able to attend Greer Girls' School, you had to have some skills, otherwise how could this school rank among the top 100 high schools in the US?

  "Kate, smile!"

  Catherine turned around and saw a flash of light.

  "Photography is my favorite job, I want to be a photographer in the future. Are you interested in coming to our photography club? We not only take photos but also make short films."

  "It sounds great, but I have to go to SAB for ballet lessons this weekend, sorry." Catherine had never really understood what was so interesting about photography. Although she was a pursuer of good images, with large high-definition screens, she would not look down on low-resolution pictures. But in her opinion, photography seemed like a dull and tedious job that required long-term dedication.

  "It's okay. I heard that in May, you won the championship of SAB's youth group competition, it was amazing."

  "Thank you."

  Catherine smiled.

  Her physical quality is excellent, learning ballet is easy and effortless, but unfortunately her mother's requirements are too strict, so Catherine herself also has the illusion that she is not good at ballet. Moreover, she doesn't think she can surpass a group of kids and become invincible, after all, she has an adult's perspective. So she didn't care much about winning that award.

  The flashbulb flashed a few more times before Lily was satisfied.

  Then Lily took Catherine on a tour of the school, introducing her to this huge school while constantly taking pictures.

  "Why don't you come over and live with me? It's just right, I'm alone."

  "Is it okay?" Lili looked very enthusiastic, and Catherine also had a good impression of this "big sister".

  "Of course, our school allows us to choose our own roommates. Why don't you come take a look at my dorm first?"

  Lily said, and then took Catherine to her bedroom.

  There were two beds in the room, but it seemed like only one of them was being slept in.

  "This is a record of the Cat King, want to listen?" Lily took out a record.

  "Cat King?"

  That's right, the 1960s was also a peak period for Elvis Presley. In short, this king of rock who pioneered rock and roll was an idol for the vast majority of people at that time. The hippie movement would arrive in just a few years, and by then, people would become even more crazy.

  Although she didn't particularly like rock music, Catherine didn't want to spoil the other person's fun, and she also wanted to hear the song of this rock king. After all, until now, she had never heard a song by the legendary Elvis Presley.
