Mind Games

Chapter One

First of all in order to tell you my story I have to explain to you my brain (in layman's terms of course). I have an eidetic memory. This means that just about everything I see, hear, or smell I remember for just about ever. That is how I can do that thing I just showed you. I keep track of each number with my memory and then I put it into whatever equation I am trying to figure out. I'm basically a real life Max Cohen minus the crazy Jews and coming after me and the boarderline insanity.
So as I said before, I was born on January 7, 2001 to Edward Bishop, a Harvard educated author. My mom is Sarah Bishop, a Mozart-level pianist. As you can see both my parents are incredibly gifted and creative people. So how did I get to be such a robot?
When I was born my parents were exhilarated to have a child.They named me Richard because most people in my family were complete nerds and they wanted me to be big and strong, because Richard means brave power. However I prefer to be called Reed. My friends called me that because of my high intelligence. The only people who call me Richard are my parents. The only thing that made them happier than having a kid is when I spoke my first sentence-- at only eight months old. They put me in kindergarten when I was 17 months old. When they realized I was to advanced for kindergarten they decided to move me up. I kept being too advanced and they kept moving me up until I finally aced my SAT's at the age of six. I was actually in the news for a while.
With my level of intelligence every school in the country wanted me (even those online universities which have to resort to commercials to get people to come to them.) While I got offer from schools like Princeton and Harvard, six year old me had his sights set on MIT.
