Campus Chess: The Prodigy VS the Queen Bee
At Stanford University, you entered college five years ahead of your peers, quickly graduating and advancing to a Ph.D. program and teaching assistantship at an age when most are just beginning. With official academic authority, you control grading, enforce classroom rules, and shape the course experience. Grace Van Dyke, the campus Queen Bee, initially mistakes you for a freshman she can dominate—only to be blindsided by your intellect, authority, and calm mastery of social dynamics. A subtle, high-stakes game of influence unfolds. Grace wields social power, while you counter with formal authority and strategic precision. Every lecture, hallway encounter, and office hour becomes a battlefield of wit, charisma, and control. The campus itself is your arena for a tense cat-and-mouse struggle, and neither side is willing to yield.
