Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I spent the day with Arden, I\u2019d want her to take me to her school and show me around. Arden goes to a school for science geniuses where the bottom floor houses the elite school and the upper floors of the building is home to Varga Industries, a technology company that would put Apple to shame with its cutting edge inventions. At the school, I\u2019d love for Arden to show me around the state of the art labs that range from a tissues culture lab to a regular chemistry lab where shelves are stocked with every chemical known to man (and some that aren\u2019t known to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> man yet). I\u2019d love to eat in the cafeteria where some students experiment in molecular gastronomy and serve decadent meals worthy of 5 star Michelin awards. I\u2019d especially like to tour the basement, which requires retina scanner access and contains a lot of locked, secret doors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we\u2019ve toured the school, we\u2019d take a trip up to Varga Industries and visit the individual companies that live under the Varga umbrella where inventions are honed and manufactured. I\u2019d try on holographic makeup, upload my memories to HiveMind which stores memories in a cloud-like system, possibly get a LASIK procedure to change my eye color from brown to blue, and of course print some body parts in the 3D bio lab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we\u2019ve visited the school, we\u2019d stop at Arden\u2019s house for a delicious home cooked bowl of chili by Arden\u2019s mom, even though she probably doesn\u2019t have time to cook while also running the school <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Varga Industries. We\u2019d stop at the dorm afterward to say hi to Zoey and all the other students that live in compass and maybe catch some gossip in the halls as well. We might also visit Teddy and Sebastian playing video games instead of studying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of course, we must fit in a trip to The Hypnotist. The only true way to catalogue memories before HiveMind is to use hypnosis to try to recall them. The two of us will lie flat on mats while The Hypnotist lulls us into deep sleeps in order to pull on the strings of a long forgotten memory. It\u2019ll be both scary and exhilarating and completely worth the exorbitant fee he charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, we\u2019d end the night the way Arden usually does: by sneaking back into school after hours to use the equipment for her own purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/diamond-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"775\" height=\"35\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/diamond-divider.png 775w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/diamond-divider-300x14.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/diamond-divider-768x35.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/all-about-the-author-002-1024x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/all-about-the-author-002.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/all-about-the-author-002-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/all-about-the-author-002-768x150.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1562214496457_66\" class=\"row sqs-row\">\n<div class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\">\n<div id=\"block-0be5ee07344721fe1d86\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shana.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Rachel Shane (writing as Shana Silver) studied creative writing at Syracuse University.
