In the mind of the Genius

Two Steps Back

I can never be too comfy in this hospital bed. Out of nowhere, the student council president summoned me and Beta. I can see in Beta's eye the perplexity on when and how did the President Clarissa got his mobile number.  

Being the student council is no easy feat. It is a tradition in EU that only the best student will be allowed for such position. Every year, there is an exam for evaluating who will be the student council president. Whoever scores the highest will automatically be entitled with the position. Just imagining that one became the student council president can make big companies go frenzy over them. All the previous student council presidents of EU are now leaders of multi-million companies inside and outside of the country, others are high ranking officials in the government, their names will always mark their generation. Well, except Officer Vincent who's like a lackey of Beta.

Now that I think about it, the exam will be 3 weeks from now. Thinking the prestige that it would bring, even I want to challenge the reigning president. She's just a year ahead of me. I think I can dethrone her....not!

She's way out of my league! A genius with an IQ of 189, she holds the record for the highest score at the entrance exam. Oops, I almost forgot, that record was before Beta entered. 

Now, that I think about it, Beta might actually be amazing. Well, he's been amazing since I met him, but thinking that he wiped the current president's entrance exam score, he actually must be a genius!

Damn it! He perfected the exam, calling him a genius might be considered an insult, perhaps.

"Brii, we are summoned by the president. There's a car waiting for us outside." Beta said with a serious face.

"Very well then, I'll take care of things here, Sir. Ms. Brianna will be discharged this noon anyways." officer said.

"Just give me a second, I'll prepare myself." I said.

Both Beta and Officer Vincent left the room. Then I noticed the peculiarity in Beta's eating habit - the food he ate was left unfinished especially the broccoli. He must have hated broccoli.

Outside the hospital, I saw Beta standing near a red car. That must be our chauffeur.

I then approached Beta and said "By the way, Beta, can I look at the president's text?"

"What for?"

"Just curious."

Beta grabbed his phone inside his pocket, navigated and showed to me the test message.

Greetings Beta and Brianna. I would love to make some tea today. Keep this meeting confidential. Now is the time I should see you. Go now to my humble office. I will tell you something important. - Clarissa Ingram

"Ahhh. So it's just a casual meeting or a tea party perhaps. British people really like tea parties, right?" I said.

"I'm jealous of how ignorant and carefree you are." Beta commented.

What's wrong with him? He's on high strung! What could possibly go wrong when we're just meeting the student council president? It's an honor to meet her - the one who's standing at the pinnacle of the University.

Our travel was rather silent and fast. The next thing I knew was that we were already inside the school premises.

The driver guided us inside the student council room.

Beta slowly opened the door. I am a bit nervous for I will see the celebrity, our school's pride - Clarissa Ingram.

When we entered the room. I saw a girl sitting behind the table. She's beautiful, contrary to my imagination, her hair was not blonde but dead black. Her eye glasses compliments her cheeky face. She's definitely a beauty. Glamorous and sophisticated are the two words that instantly came to my mind the moment I saw her. She must be President Clarissa Ingram.
