Memorable Birthday of Melissa

Melissa, a naturally beautiful student, has long black hair that falls down to her shoulders. Her jet black hair is often styled in a sleek bob, accentuating her sharp features and bright dark eyes. She has a way of expressing herself that makes even the simplest outfit look effortlessly chic. Her smile, genuine and simple, has a way of making people feel at ease.

Lost in thought, Melissa almost didn't notice her math teacher's monotone voice. Her eyes looked out the window, a longing welling up in her heart. Today is her 19th birthday, a milestone that should feel exciting.

Every thought buzzed with a nervous mixture of anticipation and fear. The ability to enhance her mind is exhilarating, but the unknown consequences are gnawing at her. What secrets could this procedure unlock in her own neural pathways? The thought made her shiver, in stark contrast to the sterile noise of the classroom.

“Mrs. Susan, my brain is fried. I need a break from school. “, Melissa said.

“Melissa, honey, even a goldfish could do this! Did you accidentally swap your brain with a particularly slow toaster this morning? You are often the Einstein of this class.” The teacher asked.

“Sorry, I feel a bit uncomfortable and want to go to the infirmary.”

“Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you ok?"

“Maybe resting for a while will help me feel better.”

“Okay, you can rest assured and go to the medical room. We will miss you in class but come back whenever you feel better.” Because Melissa had been an excellent student for many years, the teachers had no doubts about her.

With a determined look in her eyes, Melissa resisted the urge to go to the infirmary. Instead, her steps quickened as she climbed the rarely used stairs to the fourth floor. The air became thick with dust and the faint hum of invisible machinery. Her usual noisy classroom on the second floor was in stark contrast to the eerie silence that greeted her on this deserted floor. What secrets do these abandoned classrooms hold, and what prompted Melissa to search for them today?

Melissa paused, reconsidering her original plan. Every classroom was on the second floor and that was where she usually went. But today, a forgotten errand drew her to the rarely used classroom on the fourth floor. A moment of hesitation crossed her face - should she continue with her usual routine or take this unexpected detour?
