The High School Experiment
Author: Abhyudhaya Venkat
Devadas Shanmugan is no ordinary 13-year old kid. A homeschooled physics prodigy, he is a highly sought after student at many top universities, including MIT—his dream school. However, after he gets into MIT, his parents decide that it is not in Dev’s best interest to be going to college this early. Worried about his non-existent social skills, as well as the fact that Dev has already isolated himself from the world, they believe that sending him to a public high school is for the best, so that he can experience the real world before he goes o to college. Dev is horrified at this decision, believing it to be harmful to his future, yet has no control over it. Join Dev as he has to become a normal kid for the first time in his life, and go through the grueling process of being a high school kid.
