A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 56

The buzz surrounding the basketball game wasn't just about the players. Rumors had spread that even Phoebe Bailey, a freshman star, had joined the School of Finance's cheerleading squad.

Phoebe had made a dazzling debut during the freshman gala, earning her the reputation of being as radiant as a goddess.

She carried an air of legend. Some of her accolades included being a student council member, champion of the National University Debate Competition, and a member of the exclusive Summit Alliance at Alnewgo University. Soon, she was set to embark on a six-month exchange program abroad.

With Phoebe's presence, the cheerleading squad for the School of Finance was sure to be a highlight, possibly overshadowing their counterparts from the School of Music.

The game was scheduled for the afternoon, but students had filled the seats early, eager for what promised to be an unforgettable spectacle.

Jack, having finished lunch, joined his team at the assembly point to head to the sports arena. When they arrived, they found the stands packed to capacity, the excitement in the air palpable.

Among the crowds were the girls from the shared dorm room—Jessica, Queenie, Miranda, Anya, and even Amelia—all there to show their support. Jenna, however, was nowhere to be seen, likely off with Tyler again, leaving Samuel looking glum.

Isaac and Joshua, seated with their girlfriends, basked in the attention as the girls handed them drinks.

Jack greeted the group politely, but Jessica and Anya pretended not to see him.

Meanwhile, Queenie was enthusiastically praising Joshua's basketball skills, her eyes shining with admiration. She was convinced that Joshua was destined for greatness on the court.

Only Miranda acknowledged Jack with a slight nod, while Amelia surprised him by offering words of encouragement.

"Jack, do your best!"

Her sudden display of kindness caught Jack off guard. He hadn't expected Amelia to greet him so warmly, her smile so captivating.
