"Now to announce the valedictorian." William said as the seniors went up in cheers. "I am proud to announce this years new transfer student and my new step-daughter, Hannah Marie. She is graduating with a PHD in engineering, a Bachelors in science, a Masters in business, and has maintained a 4.0 GPA all throughout her schooling. Please everyone give our brightest student a round of applause." William said as I stood up and walked to the stage.

I noticed that Miranda glared at me as I walked up the steps. I turned and waved to the crowd as I sat down next to Alex. I could see both Cody and Jake were shocked at the mention of my other degrees. I rarely told anyone about them since I was more proud of my engineering degree. They were so easy that they rarely cross my mind. I even had all my course work for them done for the year I just need to turn it in whenever it's due.

In the crowd I could see the typical awe on most students faces but there was always the group of girls that glared at me and the men who looked me up and down making me feel self conscious. I have been through this routine since I was first known to be a genius so I was used to that part. I was still getting used to the lustful stares of the boys around me though. I decided to ignore the rest of the assembly as I focused on constantly smiling at the crowd. The assembly went by rather quickly after I was called up.

After the assembly, I headed to my classes for the day. Then I ate lunch with Alex and Jack. After lunch, I went to my classes. As typical, I ended up arguing my my professors about how they are wrong. I think I made them quite. It's not like I really needed them anyways since all I needed was my surprised hours to get my final degree in engineering and my other course work was done.

My last professor was the one who lasted the longest. It was a record breaking thirty minuets with the professors at this school. So now I find myself on the way to William's office being escorted by Mrs. Ably. As we walk into the office, I am greeted by my other four professors all staring at me with malice in their eyes. I looked at William who was trying his hardest to not laugh at the woman who marched me into his office.

"Hannah why don't you wait outside for now." William said covering his smile in his hand.

"Ok." I replied as I walked to the seats.

I didn't get time to sit down before I received a text from William.

W- Why don't you go home? There is no point in you staying here for the rest of the day. I'll take care of your teachers.

H- Will do. Thank you for taking care of them. I'm surprised they even stayed long enough to speak with you. Lol

W- This has to be a school record. One student made five teachers quite in less than an hour with them. Lol Your mother is waiting for you.
