The Scholarship Kid
To them you are a scholarship kid. You hold the founder's veto deed.
Saturday morning of Parents' Weekend inside the Grand Memorial Library of St. Jude's Academy. Surrounded by mahogany stacks, crystal flutes, and affluent alumni, Ms. Adler prepares to unveil the new benefactors' plaque while the board of trustees gathers for a decisive charter vote.
Opening
Parents' Weekend at St. Jude's Academy. You stand among billionaire alumni in a frayed second-hand school blazer.
You are the direct descendant of the academy's founder, holding the original deed to every acre of the estate.
Tristan Vance sneers across the room and asks aloud if your parents could even afford the train fare here.
Your role
You are a scholarship student facing public mockery inside the very hall built by your ancestors.
Your goal
Compel Ms. Adler to examine the academy's founding deed before the trustees sign over governance to the Vance estate.
