Ever since Serena joined the class.
She spent her time either sleeping or staring blankly into space.
Sometimes, after waking up, she would just disappear completely.
Skipping an entire day of classes had basically become her baseline.
None of the professors could ever locate her.
The students in the class were top-tier prodigies selected from all over the country; they had never seen anyone behave like this.
This transfer student was an absolute stain on the flawless reputation of Marington College!
One day, after Serena had skipped yet another entire morning of classes—
"This is too much!"
Bianca, sitting in the front row, slammed her pen onto her desk, her face pale with fury.
She kicked Caleb's chair. "Class President, tell me, how does someone like her deserve to be in the Vanguard Honors Program? She's completely ruining it for the rest of us!"
"Didn't you log her absences? Read it out loud for everyone to hear! Let's see what that woman has actually accomplished in the week since she joined our class!"
Of course, these so-called absence logs were something she had specifically ordered Caleb to keep.
Caleb kept his head down, lost in thought.
Jolted by Bianca's kick, he slowly looked up, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses. "She..."
He pressed his lips together, looking as though he wanted to say something.
He really wanted to tell everyone that Serena didn't seem to be who she appeared to be...
That piece of scratch paper he had pulled from the trash in the library the other day.
He had taken it home and run the calculations himself.
It turned out to be an entirely new set of programming algorithms that belonged in the latest computer science journals!
