The International Conference of Physicists was one of the most prestigious platform for the world's Physics geniuses. Every year they would have a program that was held to discover new talent. It could make one rise to fame a a very young age. This was why Shanaya and Yifeng were surprised. They would have never imagined that their professor would call them for this event.
Mr. Si said "I know you must be in shock right now. This is a very big opportunity for the both of you. I have been teaching Yifeng for the past Three years so I know how good he is but..." He turned around and looked at Shanaya and continued "Shanaya, you are the only student or actually the only person who was able to answer my questions in the first try. I was truly surprised."
He was brimming with joy while he said those words. Yifeng looked at her with surprise, but that soon turned into joy and admiration. He knew how good she was when he asked her to solve those questions yesterday. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Mr. Si then said "The conference is in five months time. I hope you both make use of this opportunity! "
He discussed a few more things with them and then allowed them to go back. They walked out of his office and the Yifeng asked Shanaya "What do you think we should base out project on?" She replied "I'm not really sure. We should discuss it later. I have to go to the library right now. Let's discuss this at home." Without waiting or his reply she walked away.
Lu Yifeng stared t her back in a daze. He never thought that there would be day when someone ignored him. What was more surprising was that he was not even angry that there was someone ignoring him. Maybe he recognized that Shanaya was better than him and so he wanted to befriend her.
Meanwhile, Shanaya was rushing to the library. She had promised Wanwan that she would tutor her today and she was really late. She didn't want Wanwan to be angry with her. She quickly took the bike she had parked outside the basketball court and hastily rode to the library. The school campus was huge and it took a long time to travel by foot. Luckily, she still had little Sheng's bike that she "borrowed" from him. Once she arrived in front of the building, she parked the bike and leaped over the stairs and made it inside the library. She saw Wanwan already inside and waiting for her. She took a deep breath and waked to her.
When Wanwan saw Shanaya come to her, she jumped up and hugged her screaming "Shanaya!" . Shanya did not expect this reaction from her at all. She was frozen in her spot. Only when she felt that people were glaring at them did she ask Wanwan to let her go and take a seat. Wanwan did not care about other people, but she pouted and listened to Shanaya.
When they both were finally seated Wanwan asked Shanaya "What took you so long?"
Shanaya explained to her about the conference and also about Yifeng being her partner. Mo Wanwan was surprised and amazed.her friend was so amazing! She was going to be the partner of THE Lu Yifeng! Mo Wanwan was about to scream from shock when she was stopped. Shanaya put her hand over her mouth and stopped her before she could disturb the people in the library again. Shanaya calmly said"We better get started. It's getting late already." Wanwan completely forgot about the previous topic and began removing her books from the bag while saying"yes, I better reach home on time or my Mom is going to get worried." Shanaya sighed in relief. She was glad that the conversation was over otherwise she would have spilled the secret. She was very bad at keeping secrets.
Two hours passed in the library and Wanwan smiled at Shanaya.
WANWAN: "This is the first time I understood this much in physics. I think I can pass this time."
SHANAYA: "You are my student. Don't keep such low expectations. You better come atleast in the top 100."
WANWAN: "Bu..but Shanaya that is impossible. I barely understood what was going on today!"
SHANAYA: "The word impossible is not in my dictionary."
WANWAN: "Shanaya, where did you buy such a stupid dictionary? I am really curious."
Shanaya sighed out loud.
SHANAYA: "oh come on Wanwan. You know what I am talking about. Anyway, let's go home now. It's almost time for dinner."
WANWAN: "okay!"
