The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 92
“I personally think this competition should be a piece of cake for you,” Mr.
Hammond remarked with a hint of emotion in his voice.
Meeting Mirabella was a stroke of serendipity. At just 17, she made an online
splash by cracking the complex conundrums posed by several prestigious
Riverdale institutions.
Problems that stumped other students for weeks seemed like child's play to her.
With barely any effort, she’d unraveled them and then some, her insights leaving
onlookers in awe.
She almost caused an educational meltdown at these elite schools, and yet
nobody had a clue who was behind it all. It was only when Parkside High
School's online admission quiz blew her cover that he learned the mastermind
giving the big institutions a run for their money was a high school student.
Pure luck played its part in bringing her to Parkside High School. Had she not
been looking to study in Ashford, with Parkside being the top high school around,
she might not have given it a second glance. Of course, Mr. Hammond never
expected this young lady to actually choose Parkside.
When confronted with Mr. Hammond's unexpected confidence, Mirabella could
only respond. “I just want to focus on my studies.”
Mr. Hammond chuckled. “Studying and competing? They actually go hand in
hand.”
“So, what's your reason for putting me in this competition?” asked Mirabellating
to the
chase.
Mr. Hammond adjusted his glasses. “Although Parkside’s college placement rate
has been consistent, there's been a troubling downward trend...” He paused, his
smile tinged with bitterness. “I just don’t want the school’s century-old reputation
to falter on my watch.”
Mirabella gave Mr. Hammond an OK sign. “I get it.”
Conversations with the bright were refreshingly straightforward. Mr. Hammond
studied Mirabella for a moment before adding, “This competition isn’t a walk in
the park either. If you stand out, you might even catch the eye of an association
or two from Riverdale. It could be great for your future.”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback.
Mr. Hammond smiled. “With your capabilities, you're underselling yourself at our
school. There's not much else I can help you with.”
Mirabella waved a casual hand, “No need, I'm good as is.” She then stood up,
“Class is about to start. I should head back to the classroom.”
“Alright.” Mr. Hammond said nothing more, but as Mirabella reached the door, he
added, “I haven't told a soul about that online incident.”
