    Business class wasn't Bjorn's favorite. He just sat in the back. Not doing much, casually shifting his cube between his hands. Another cube sat on his desk, and another in each jacket pocket.

     Everyone in the class, everyone in the school even, were all familiar with Bjorn's constant cubing. Occasionally a new kid would show up and be fascinated by Bjorn's talent. After a week or so, the novelty usually wore off and Bjorn was, once again, just Bjorn. One day, it all changed.
          When Bjorn awoke that morning, he didn't expect it to be abnormal. He did his typical morning workout, lifting tiny weights with his fingers. Gotta stay in shape for cubing season.
Then he ate his typical breakfast of Cinnamon Toast Cubes. After that, it was off to school.
Bjorn cubed his way there and was sitting in business class before you could say "cube." That was when everything REALLY began to change.
The teacher called Bjorn up to their desk.
"Bjorn, you've been excused for the day. Someone is waiting to pick you up at the office."
Bjorn frowned. He wasn't expecting anyone to pick him up early today. He shrugged and collected his many cubed. A few people mumbled their goodbyes, but Bjorn could bet that half the class didn't even notice his absence.
Bjorn cubed his way down to the office. The cubing session was so intense, Bjorn didn't see the tall man in fancy business clothes standing before him and walked right into him.
"S-sorry." He stuttered.
"Are you Bjorn?" The man's deep voice boomed.
"Y-yeah?" Bjorn responded, taken aback.
"Come with me. You have been selected by Maybelline's new marketing campaign to be the face of our company."
