Karan glanced at Shirley, and the memory of yesterday’s experiment in the lab hit her like a punch to the chest. She could barely catch her breath.
Mr. Lane had praised Shirley right in front of her. He’d said Shirley reminded him of himself back when he first started college. With a little encouragement, Shirley was sure to become a brilliant physicist.
He wasn’t wrong.
Shirley was sharp, and the experiment she completed had been seriously tough. The procedure was so complicated that even Karan, who had spent days studying similar problems, only figured out the trick thanks to many geniuses before her. She’d been “the physics genius” for years, always at the top. She truly believed no one could outdo her.
And now, out of nowhere, Shirley had shown up.
She didn’t just have the skill, either. She had support.
Karan hugged her textbook a little tighter and narrowed her eyes. Her voice was quiet, but it was laced with obvious frustration. “I’m not going to let anyone undo all the work I’ve put in.”
Kingswood University
Charlotte wore a baseball cap, a roomy trench coat, and soft sneakers. She was tall, confident, striking. You’d never guess she was pregnant.
“Hey, Charlotte.”
“Morning, Charlotte.”
People kept greeting her everywhere she went. With Charlotte around, Kingswood University had gone from being an average, forgettable school to the talk of the town in just a few months. It was even beating The Cabinda University in popularity. The school had put Charlotte’s photo up on the admissions webpage. Online, high school seniors were calling her their role model. Some even made it their goal to get into Kingswood, just because of her.
Charlotte answered every greeting with a polite, easy nod. She walked across the field, heading to the medical building for her morning lecture.
