The results were in.

Her name wasn't even on the list. Not division A, not division B, not any of the special divisions . . . what the heck?

Okay, calm down, she thought, they let you take the test, so all the paperwork gets through. You can't fail the test, it isn't that kind of test, and they would've told you if something was wrong on your end, it was probably an administrative error. Right?

Who should she talk to? She had no idea. Okay, she could ask at the main counter. That's what it for, right? You don't know where to go, you go to the main counter and ask.

"Hello?"
"Yes, dear, how can I help you?"
"Ah, regarding the new class lists . . ."
"Yes?"
"I was registered, and I took the test, but my name isn't on there at all?"
"Oh, that doesn't happen, come now, I'll look up your name, sweetie?"
"Alexandra Sweet"
The receptionist froze.
"Oh. Um, you should talk to career counsellor, he's in his office over there"

The counsellor was very succinct in his explanation:
"You failed the personality test, get out of my office"
