Olivia had always been the smartest person in Classroom 13. But now she was the smartest person in the world.

The purple lightning made her a super-genius. Her brain was so big, it popped out of her hair and glowed green anytime she had a thought. When it started glowing so bright no one could look at it, someone should have realized she had a really big idea: to take over the world.

You might think this made Olivia a super-villain, but you should ask her why first. Yes, let’s ask: “Olivia, why are you going to take over the world?”

“I’ve done all the calculations,” Olivia said. “The human race is destroying planet Earth. If we don’t start fixing it now, Earth will be dead in a matter of years. Since everyone is too lazy or too greedy to fix the planet, only I can do it. But first I’ll have to take over and become the world’s global monarch.”

See? She wants to save the planet. That’s a good reason. But she wants to take over the world to do it. That’s a bad thing. Sometimes, people do bad things for good reasons. It’s silly but true.

Does this make Olivia a bad guy? (Or bad girl, in this case.) Honestly, I’m not sure. What do you think?
