Oliver tidied up his papers and walked up to the front of the class.

"Here professor, I've finished the calculations for the generator."

The professor smiled and took the papers from him.

"Yes, thank you for going out of your way to do this. I'll be sure to look it over and get back to you as soon as possible."

Oliver excused himself and began making his way down the corridors.

The large hall was dimly lit by overhead lights. He walked for a few minutes before exiting the building and entered a large courtyard bordered by fluffy green grass and fragrant flowers.

Oliver looked up at the gray mass of clouds that obscured the sky.

He sighed and looked away. The sky was one of the things Oliver hated the most. The thick clouds always limited the sunlight and the solar panels could never collect enough energy.

He continued walking towards the far end of the courtyard.

Oliver stopped to admire the flowers. It wasn't every day a citizen could see them.

Ever since the water had become a scarce commodity and fertile soil had skyrocketed in market value, such things like flowers seemed too frivolous to plant.

Of course, this wasn't any ordinary place where citizens could enter.

Oliver smiled to himself. He had worked hard and had spent his entire childhood contributing to society.

He clenched his hands in agitation. Soon he would receive the results to go to Maxwell, the most prestigious college of mathematics.

Glancing at his solar-powered watch, Oliver quickly passed through the courtyard. He traveled through a few more buildings before entering the main office.

When he opened the doors he met with a charming young lady.
