It had been four days since Megan joined the Gifted program, but she hadn't made any progress on figuring out why she was there.

"Was it something about the last question?" Megan asked Ohm. Both of them were slumped over one of the tables in the library.

"Like, the one on the back of the answer sheet? The 'natural selection' question?" Ohm asked.

"Yeah. The paper had the Gifted logo."

"Oh, I didn't even notice that!" Ohm exclaimed. "That was a loud noise during the test, wasn't it."

"Yeah........" Megan trailed off. She got up and headed back towards the Gifted section.

"Where are you going?" Ohm called.

"To get some more books!" Megan replied. She scanned the shelves, looking for something in particular. Then, she found what she was looking for. Books on sound. She pulled a few off the shelf and brought them back to the table.

For the next week, Megan spent all her free time reading up on sound. Most of what she found was talking about how sound stimulation could help treat Alzheimer's and other similar issues. It wasn't quite what she was looking for, but she felt like she was on to something.

Or, of course, it could have just been an issue with the speakers.

"Why don't you ask a few people what they answered for the last question?" Ohm remarked on afternoon, while Megan was close to falling asleep. She sat straight up, suddenly full of energy.

"Great idea! You're coming with me," Megan said, pulling Ohm out of his chair. He groaned.

"Why can't I just stay here?"

"Because it's your assignment too. Come on."

However, after asking around for almost an hour, they discovered that no student outside of the Gifted Program was aware that there was an essay question.

"Do we have super hearing or something?" Ohm asked.

"Who knows? I'm not sure anything could surprise me when it comes to the Gifted Program," Megan replied. "Anyway, we can discuss this with Mr. Pom during the Program tomorrow. I wonder what the other students came up with."
