Morgan choked on his words, blindsided by the counter–question. After a few seconds of silence, he managed to stammer out, “You’re the one deep into physics. You know the level of difficulty we’re talking about here. She’s from the humanities..

Although Mr. Hammond couldn’t make heads or tails of the physics problem, he was well aware that an Olympiad question was no walk in the park. He had heard Morgan harp on about ‘Mirabella being a humanities student‘ one time too many, couldn’t hold back any longer, and chimed in. “Morgan, you seem to have forgotten something. Initially, I wanted to place her in your Prodigy Class.”

But as Mr. Hammond brought it up, it struck him like thunder, shattering his self–deception.
