The Girl With Too Many Brains & Too Little Direction

Everyone thinks I’m smart.

Like too smart.

Like “Are your parents scientists?” smart.

Like “Did you skip a grade?” smart.

The truth?

I’m a genius stuck in a brain that behaves like a browser with nineteen illegal pop-ups.

I grasp concepts faster than teachers can teach them…

…but forget assignments faster than they can hand them out.

I could probably diagnose a rare medical condition at 15

but I can’t remember to bring my own notebook to class.

I think this is what they call potential.

Or a curse.

I’m still deciding.
