"That seems stupid, don't you think? The only way to break that kind of thinking is to make the difference yourself. That's what my parents say. You think I don't know a little something about this stuff?" Given her parents were immigrants, they had taught her a few lessons about befriending and never judging based off looks. She didn't even entertain the idea.

She pulled a sheet of paper free from her notepad as she scribbled a message onto it. "Besides, you're smart. I like smart. It's cool."

And with that, she balled up her paper and turned around, lobbing it at the idiot boy while the teacher's back is turned. The message was simple: FUCK OFF.
