“Fair enough. The scientific community does need the scientifically inept, like you, to buy our tacky over priced inventions or else we’d be out of the job.” He chuckled, walking into the kitchen. “Tea?”
“Yeah, sure. Scientifically inept? You guys just disguise all the elegant concepts in rough-edged mathematics so you can lord it over people like me, who conceive of the concepts!” It came out half-obscured by her hands.
Tony laughed and poured her a cup of tea. “Well someone has to build the great things that make your lives easier.” He walked over to the couch and handed her the cup, a beer in his own hand. “So I’m assuming you and your concept conceiving mind are working out a way to destroy these bitches’ lives?”
Summer shook her head. “What’s the point? The best revenge is keeping my grade high, and tht’s simple. Anything else I try, they’ll just turn back on me. I’m already tired of hearing people hum the witch’s theme from The Wizard of Oz.” She stared at the cup, throat aching. “It’s just as well no one knows we’re together, or they’d ruin that, I’m sure.”
