The Billionaire's Daughter

One afternoon, we were called to the School’s Faculty Room.

“Franco and Saphira, being the top two seniors of this batch, you will be sent to San Francisco to represent the school for an Inter State Student’s Conference. It is a good thing that the location is only here in California. The school will be providing airfare and accommodations. But the accommodations will be for the hotel only. The allowance for food and other things will be at your personal expense. It will be for 4 days and 3 nights.”

“How about shool Mrs. Diaz? Won’t our ranking be affected by the duration of our absence?”

“Nice question Saphira, both of you will be excused from your classes and homework since you will be gone for the school’s sake. Your ranking and grades should not be affected.”

“What if one of us cannot afford to join the Conference, will that have an impact?”

“No. Replacements will be necessary but that wouldn’t affect your current standing, although this will be a good opportunity for you especially if you are aiming to go to Harvard or to Princeton. Most of the past delegates were admitted without question partly based on their participation to the Inter school or Inter State activities such as this. So, you can just fill up this form and submit to me on Friday so we can arrange the details of your trip. You will be leaving a week from now.”

Being the top students of the school, Franco and I were asked to join this event. I was pondering on what would be our arrangements when I noticed that Franco was looking worried.
