Rich Bitch

That makes sense, I guess. Everyone kinda gets what they deserve. In the end.

Not so, Matt. You have to work for it. Karma doesn't exist. 

I feel like I should ask more about the situation but I also feel like I won’t like the answer. It’s impossible for the two of you to get along, isn’t it?

You probably won't. I mean...i-if you wanted us to..I could try. But don't expect much from Elijah..

I hope that they do. I try, at least. I really care about my students and I’m sure that your nanny cared about you. They’re pretty great that way usually. 

Well, I can only hope that she cared....D-don't disappoint them...uh...I'm sorry, did I get your name?

STDs are conquerable.

I guess you’re pretty determined, huh? One of those Type A kind of people?

I guess. I get what I deserve. That's just how I look at it.

Lemon Head jelly beans, they actually taste like miniature fruit instead of wax.

Really? That sounds pretty good actually. Anything else?

Not that I’m aware of, but I’d forgotten they counted. Find an advantage, of course. It’s their own fault if they underestimate me and it works out in my favor. Your father’s secretary sounds like a person to watch, or would be if not for you. And what are you that makes you so formidable?

I think it's better to have people take you at face value. You can stand people undermining you for so long. I work as a computer analyst, quickly rising through the ranks. I have my mind set on a managerial role. 

I do, they’re fascinating little humans. Really? Someone from around here or elsewhere?

A friend of mine dared I couldn’t get through it - looks like he was right.

So, you're gonna let your friend win?

I baked cookies.

Raw? Why would you want to do that?

You don’t worry about anything?

There are only a few things that deserve my care. I do worry Matt, but there's not doubt in my mind that I will be unable to get what I want.

These books are getting ridiculous.

And that is why I don't read modern novels.

((Matt notices that Elena had drifted from their conversation. Although he was curious, he knew better than to ask about stuff that wasn’t his business.))  It’s alright. I guess we’re both kinda at the age where we need to worry about that stuff. ((He said, shrugging again.))

I don't know, Matt. I honestly have no clue how what we're supposed to be worrying about at our ages.

I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, in a few different capacities. I worked at a daycare center when I was still in high school. You learn how to navigate kids, they aren’t too complicated.

You must really like children, then. That's....admirable. You almost remind me of someone, though she was more brash. 

I guess every girl has their quirks. ((He said before laughing softly with a shrug.)) Yeah, probably. But my head is hurting too much for that.

Hmm, yes, they do. [[she smiled, her desperate gaze falling to something off in the distance as her mind wondered]]

A lot of practice, a positive attitude, and an extended nap time. That usually does the trick. 

A lot of practice? And how much practice does it take?

Wow, tht sounds that an interesting first date. ((He said, laughing softly before popping the two pills into his mouth and dry swallowing them. Anything to get the pain meds in his body.)) I work as an intern over at Turner Construction. I just came back from school, actually.

Ah, yes. Our first date with simply be me reading off a list of odd things I need you to do for me. Whoa. Slow down there, pill popper. Could have gone to get some water you know. [[she said with a hint of disdain in her voice, though she didn't care enough to carry on the topic.]] Hmm, a respectable enough job. Do you plan on moving up the ranks?
