\u201cFair enough. The scientific community does need the\u00a0scientifically\u00a0inept, like you, to buy our tacky over priced inventions or else we\u2019d be out of the job.\u201d He chuckled, walking into the kitchen. \u201cTea?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYeah, 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!\u201d It came out half-obscured by her hands.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony laughed and poured her a cup of tea. \u201cWell someone has to build the great things that make your lives easier.\u201d He walked over to the couch and handed her the cup, a beer in his own hand. \u201cSo I\u2019m assuming you and your concept conceiving mind are working out a way to destroy these bitches\u2019 lives?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer shook her head. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point? The best revenge is keeping my grade high, and that\u2019s simple. Anything else I try, they\u2019ll just turn back on me. I\u2019m already tired of hearing people hum the witch\u2019s theme from The Wizard of Oz<\/em>.\u201d She stared at the cup, throat aching. \u201cIt\u2019s just as well no one knows we\u2019re together, or they\u2019d ruin that, I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI guess I\u2019ll stop with the humming then,\u201d Tony teased opening his beer. \u201cIt is a good song for you though.\u201d He took a sip and kissed Summer on the cheek. \u201cJust keep your head high and make sure those bitches fail.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“It’s so hard,” she mumbled. “\/Knowing\/ what they feel — even indifference hurts, Tony. I want to be \/special\/, to be liked and wanted.” She turned the cup in her hands. “I thought, when I came here, that things would be different. That I’d find more than one or two people who were like me. After all,” Summer managed a trembling smile, “I can’t ask you to devote all your time to me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
