27. Smarter Than Everyone
There was a kid in another class at my school in 6th grade that was a genius. I don’t mean like, oh he’s really smart cause doesn’t need to do the homework and still gets 100s. Like he was doing advanced calculus with a local college professor after school. This kid was smarter than everyone.
So one day our computer system for the entire school goes down. (I was in a poorer area at the time so this was normal). This occurred many times so normally it would affect us cause we barely used laptops and such. The only class that was affected was the computer class. This kid was in the computer class.
3 or so hours later when I’m in class with him during social studies. 3 guys with FBI jackets on and our local chief escorted him out of the building. We were told nothing, and the parents were told nothing. It never hit the news. To this day we have no clue what he did. Every single teacher I’ve asked about this says they were also told nothing.
I haven’t seen the kid since and I can’t find a trace of him going to another school or ending up in trouble. He just fell off the face of the earth with his parents. (Yeah I forgot to mention that parents also disappeared and no one really looked for them after a month or so)
I still think about that kid.
