Angelina’s POV

I stood up. My chair scraped against the floor, loud in the silent room. I walked to the front and stood next to Mr. Davis’s desk.

I looked out at the class. Thirty-something faces staring at me, waiting.

Before Mr. Davis could say anything else, David raised his hand. He didn’t wait to be called on.

“Mr. Davis, no offense to Aria, but she couldn’t even name the layers of the Earth two months ago.”

Sophia turned around in her seat. “Yeah! I remember tutoring her on plate tectonics during study hall. She asked me what ‘subduction’ meant!”

David nodded. “And now she got 102 on the Earth Science midterm?”

I looked at Sophia. “I did ask you that, Sophia. And I appreciate you helping me back then.”

Sophia blinked, caught off guard by my calm response.

The classroom erupted into conversation.

“Maybe she was faking being bad before?” Jeremy said from the side of the room.

Sarah frowned. “Why would anyone do that?”

“I don’t know, social experiment?”

Emma shook her head. “That doesn’t make sense. She seemed genuinely confused last semester.”

David spoke up again. “I helped her with homework. She wasn’t faking. She really didn’t get it.”

I’m so tired of them talking about me like I’m not standing right here.

Mr. Davis held up his hand. “Alright, discussion over. Aria, would you like to explain?”

I took a breath and faced the class.

‘You all remember when I jumped off the third floor a month ago, right?”

Heads nodded all around the room.

“Well, I got a severe concussion from that fall.”

The classroom was silent again. Everyone was listening now.

“When I came back to school, at first everything seemed normal. But then started noticing changes.”

Joshua leaned forward in his seat. “What kind of changes?”

“Small things at first. Like, I could remember formulas without trying. Then bigger things. I’d look at an English problem and the solution would just appear in my head. Like my brain was working differently.”

I could see them processing this. Some looked skeptical. Others looked confused.

“I thought I was going crazy, honestly. So I googled it. A lot.”

I pulled out my phone and held it up, showing my search history. I’d prepared this beforehand.

“Concussion improved memory, brain injury intelligence, acquired savant syndrome…”

Mr. Davis nodded. “Acquired savant syndrome is a real phenomenon.”

“Yeah. It’s super rare, but it happens. Brain trauma can sometimes unlock ognitive abilities that were dormant.”

David wasn’t satisfied. “But why ALL subjects? Savants are usually good a one specific thing.”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe because I hit my head really hard? The doctors said every brain injury is different. Some people lose abilities.

Some people gain them. I guess I got lucky?”

I paused and looked around the room.

“Look, I know this sounds insane. If someone told me this story, I wouldnt believe it either. But it’s the only explanation I have. After the

concussion, my brain just works better. I don’t know why.”

In a way, I really did experience a “reboot.”

The classroom was silent for at least ten seconds. Students were looking at each other, exchanging uncertain glances.

David spoke first. “Mr. Davis, is this scientifically possible?”

Mr. Davis straightened up. “Neuroplasticity is well-documented. The brain can rewire itself, especially after trauma. Acquired savant syndrome exists, though it’s extremely rare.”

“How rare?”

“There are only a few dozen documented cases worldwide.”

Another student spoke up. “So Aria is like one in a billion?”

“Essentially, yes.”

Jake shook his head slowly. “I mean, I get the science. But this still feels e a movie plot.”

Arthur laughed. “Yeah, like Lucy or Limitless.”

Emma turned around to face him. “Those are fiction, Arthur.”

“I know! That’s my point! This is too fictional to be real!”

Chapter 61 *

I couldn’t help it. “Trust me, if I could choose how to get smart, I wouldn’t pick ‘fall down three floors and almost die.”

A few people laughed. The tension in the room broke a little.

Logan stood up from his seat in the back. “Okay, I’ve figured it out.”

“Logan, if this is another alien theory-”

“No, no. Listen. Aria’s brain was like a computer, right? And it was running slow, had viruses, whatever. Then she fell down three floors – that’s

like physically unplugging it.”

Sarah turned around. “Where is this going?”

“She rebooted! Factory reset! Cleared the cache! And when she turned back on, boom! Brand new operating system!”

The whole class burst out laughing.

“It’s IT 101, people! Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

David was grinning. “That’s the dumbest explanation I’ve ever heard.”

“But it makes sense!”

Sophia raised her hand. “So you’re saying we should all throw ourselves own three floors before finals?”

Mr. Davis’s face went serious immediately. “ABSOLUTELY NOT. Please do not try this.”

Logan held up his hands. “Yeah, results may vary. Aria got upgraded, you might just get a concussion.”

I looked at Logan. “Thanks for making me sound like a smartphone.”

He grinned at me. “Hey, if the iPhone analogy helps people understand, I’m here for it.”

Mr. Davis clapped his hands together. “Alright, alright. I think we’ve thoroughly dissected this. The bottom line is: Aria worked hard, and her

results are legitimate. Whether you believe the concussion story or not, her scores are real.”

He started clapping. Slowly, the rest of the class joined in.

It shocked me. I thought there would be a heated debate. “Thanks, everyone.”

They might still have doubts, but at least they’re not openly questioning me anymore,

Mr. Davis picked up his textbook. “Now, can we please get back to English? We have essay structure to cover.”

The class groaned but started getting out their notebooks.

I walked back to my seat. As I passed by Logan’s desk, he gave me a thumbs up. I nodded at him.

The rest of the day followed the same pattern.
