I am Salome Naomi, a scholar at Eldridge University.
I am known for being at the top of my class, and it is not just luck that keeps me there.
I work very hard to maintain my position.
I don't just read my books; I make sure I understand everything I study, and I always make sure I solve every past question from the year the exam started till date.
I don't just stop at reading; I make sure I go through every solved past question paper.
I am not surprised that all my efforts have been paying off, making me one of the best students in my class.
I am not what you will call a socializer; in fact, I only go out on Fridays with my roommate Elsie.
We share a flat, and she is also a student of Eldridge University.
Elsie is the complete opposite of me; she loves being out and having fun with friends, while I prefer staying indoors reading and solving past questions.
On this particular day, it was Friday evening, and I was going out with Elsie as we always did.
While getting ready, I heard the door knock, and it was Elsie telling me she was set and ready to go.
I grab my brown wool coat from the hook behind my door, checking my reflection one last time in the mirror.
My hair is neatly pinned back, and my dress is properly pressed.
Appearances matter at Eldridge, even on casual outings.
Elsie taps her foot impatiently outside, humming a popular tune.
The floorboards creak as I cross my room, gathering my small purse and making sure my door is locked.
I can smell Elsie's perfume through the door - she always wears too much of that sweet violet scent.
When I open the door, she's leaning against the wall, grinning.
"Finally! I thought you'd never come out," Elsie teases, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"I was just making sure everything was in place," I reply, adjusting my coat.
"You know, Salome, there's more to life than books and exams," she says, her tone softening as she looks at me.
As we turn to leave, a soft scratching sound catches our attention.
We both freeze, looking down at the floor.
A cream-colored envelope is slowly sliding under our door.
I take a step forward to retrieve it, but Elsie grabs my arm.
"Wait," she whispers, her usual playfulness replaced by caution.
The envelope comes to a stop, its edge peeking out from under the door.
I kneel down and carefully pick it up.
The paper is thick and expensive, with an unfamiliar wax seal on the back.
The front bears an elegant calligraphy address: "The Adventurous Scholars."
I turn the envelope over in my hands, feeling its weight and noticing a slight bulge that suggests there's more than just paper inside.
With a deep breath, I break the seal, knowing that whatever lies within will change everything.
