Eleventh grade English teacher Abby Bennett took a moment from formulating her lesson plan to glance at one of her favorite students. As usual, Raymond Tenneson was staring out the window lost in a dream world.
According to IQ tests, Raymond was utterly brilliant, but aside from physics and math, he struggled with his schoolwork. Abby tried to help him, but Raymond was always preoccupied, and she had no way of penetrating the thoughts that were running through his super brain.
As the school year came to a close, Raymond seemed to relax a little and actually participated in class. On the last day of school, Raymond approached Abby's desk.
"I've really enjoyed your class" Raymond said hesitantly
"Well, I've really enjoyed having you Raymond" Abby said with a smile.
Raymond opened his backpack and took out a strange- looking device that was about the size of a laptop. "I'm going on a long trip, and I just wanted to say goodbye" Raymond murmured as he pushed some buttons on the device and slowly began to disappear.
An instant later, Raymond materialized at his destination, 25 light years from Earth and began his new life.
