A Worsening Situation
The first school Hayley applied to rejected her application, so she contacted them and asked why. Her world moved so quickly that she didn’t even realize she was sitting in a boardroom.
It wasn’t possible to apply for a high school on behalf of another student, the administrator told her at first. Hayley explained to her that she was not a student, and her tone changed.
The rest of the story is, unfortunately, a downhill slide.
