Chapter 35 The End of High School Life

After Link leaves, Sheldon's argument with Dr. Sturgis continues, and George Jr. happily takes Link's investment and prepares to start his own business.

When he returned home for lunch, Robert also returned home, and after Link asked, Robert said, "The autopsy results show that he should have killed him, I have met Mila's boyfriend, and he has something to do with Mila's death."

He had stolen his father's wine that night, and both of them had drunk a lot, but when he came to his senses, he found that Mira was dead, and the fool quietly got Mira out of the room. ”

Link listened, and said, "This is indeed very much like what a fool would do, and from what I know about him, he should not have the courage to kill someone." ”

"His suspicion cannot be completely ruled out, and the investigation of him needs to continue." Robert Tract:

"Many people have done this kind of thing in front of the police, just to die and avoid responsibility. But if it wasn't him, someone had entered the room while they were drunk and killed Mila. ”

Listening to Robert, Link suddenly remembered what he had seen at the beginning, and said, "Robert, something I saw in the attic at that time might be helpful. ”

Robert suddenly came to his senses: "Tell me about it." ”

Link said: "That day, Rena and I were on the third floor, facing the pool through a window. When I heard the shouts below and looked down, I noticed that there was a person on Koike's side who had crept away instead of leaning over to see the excitement, and she wasn't on the list of people who had come to the party that Rena had told me. ”

Robert understood in seconds and immediately asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"Jeshy, this year is supposed to be the eleventh grade, and she is a cheerleader like Mila."

Robert thought for a moment and asked, "What is her relationship with Mira and her boyfriend?" Are there any grudges? ”

"I don't know much about that." Link said, "After all, I've been away for a year, and I've only known these people because I've had contact with them before, but Rena probably should know about it, and I can ask her." ”

"That's not necessary, you don't need to be too involved in this kind of thing, I'll just go back and ask."

Knowing that Robert was protecting himself, Link nodded, not wanting to prove himself like most young people.

In this way, Link stayed at home for six days, because of the incident with Mila, and there was no party in high school recently, but Link also got good news from Robert, that is, Mila's case was finally solved.

Jesse is the murderer, as for the inside story, Robert didn't say it, but Link already knew it from Rena, and to put it bluntly, it was the messy relationship that caused the trouble.

After returning to school and waiting for another month or so, Link was the first to get the results of the ACT test.

Link doesn't get the results sooner or later, this system is like a lottery machine, when the score will be out depends on the character, sometimes all the candidates in the same exam room know the results, and some people are still stupid to wait for a week or two.

The ACT admission standard is 36 out of 36 points, Link got 36 points, and now the high school questions are really not difficult for him now, with this result, not only to go to Caltech, but also to get a scholarship.

Ms. Flora was equally pleased, and said that with Link's results, Wilmot Gifted Institute would also offer an additional scholarship and let him speak at the school's graduation ceremony as a representative after Peggy declined.

Of course, prestigious schools also pay attention to participating in social activities, teacher evaluation, family background, etc., and Link has no problem in social activities and teacher evaluation, and his family background may not add points significantly, but at least it will not deduct points.

Soon after, the SAT scores also came out, maybe there was a slight mistake and I didn't get a perfect score, but 2,396 is also an absolute high score.

All Link needs to do now is get his application materials ready and send them in when the admissions season comes.

As for Peggy, Caltech has even invited her to visit with Linda, and Caltech has even promised to arrange for Peggy to stay with a math professor at a school.

Even if Linda is not at ease, the school can even offer Linda a job, and Linda is still considering this.

Referring to Peggy's age and her achievements, it is entirely clear that she is a super talent, and such a student is a top university like Caltech, and it is understandable that she is willing to provide all kinds of conveniences.

This is not an exaggeration, top public universities such as the University of Texas at Austin not only offered a job for his father, Coach George, in order to get Sheldon to study there, but also provided travel expenses and arranged accommodation for the whole journey when Sheldon wanted to go to Caltech's lecture to listen to Professor Hawking.

In fact, Harvard, Caltech and other prestigious universities will also be willing to provide Sheldon with the same conditions, and the reason why Sheldon chose the University of Texas at Austin is more because of the actual situation of his family, which is relatively close to home.

And this year, in addition to Link and Peggy, there are Sheldon and Dan who are leaving high school to go to college.

As the group sat down and heard the news that Link and Peggy were going to Caltech, Sheldon didn't seem very happy:

"I was going to go to Caltech, where physics is among the best in the world, but unfortunately my mom said that the situation at home would not allow me to go."

"Sheldon, the University of Texas at Austin is not bad either." Link could only say at this time:

"It's close enough to home, it's the best fit considering your age, and if you want to come to Caltech, you can come here for a master's degree or a Ph.D., it's not too difficult for you, isn't it?"

"But Peggy is eleven like me, so why could she go to Caltech."

Link didn't know how to answer, but Peggy already knew that Sheldon lacked emotional intelligence, and if there was no answer, he would keep asking, so he simply said angrily:

"That's because my parents are divorced, and my mom thinks it's nice to never see my dad again, so she thinks about staying with me in California, do you want your parents to divorce!"

“…… Well, you convinced me. ”

Not wanting to continue talking about Peggy, Link turned to Dan and said, "Congratulations Dan, it's a rare opportunity to go to the University of Texas at Austin." ”

"yes." Dan was obviously much happier than Shelton, he also won a scholarship, and given his family's conditions, he was absolutely satisfied to be able to attend a top public university with such a generous prize.

Speaking of this, Dan said to Link again: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to choose to end high school so soon, after all, high school career should be colorful for you!" ”

"There's so much to be flattering, and I'm even a little glad I left high school early." Sheldon said with a puzzled expression:

"Although Link is not as smart as me, it is more than enough for him to finish high school in three years, and there is no need to waste more precious time."

"I just have my own plans." "For me, life can be exciting even when I'm in college, and you know, Caltech is only a couple of hours drive from Hollywood," Link laughs. ”

Dan understood in his heart, and suddenly couldn't help the envy in his heart, thinking back to his high school career, the closest thing to a girl was the incident of 'rejecting' Libby, he couldn't help but sigh: "If my woman's fate can have one-tenth of yours, I will be satisfied." ”

"Trust me, you'll meet girls who like you in the future." Thinking that Dan would have a girlfriend in college and eventually choose to stay in Texas, and that his future son would also have the opportunity to attend Caltech, Link knew that he would have the life he wanted.

"Thank you."
