revenge

Fleur hugged her knees, eyes languishing on the various needles and gauges set in the gray metal walls, and gave another long, heartfelt sigh. Fully twelve atmospheres remaining, by what she could tell. Or, by a more relevant metric, a half-dozen more hours steeping in ennui inside the tiny decompression chamber. She should be grateful, she knew. Relish a bit of boredom after the mishap earlier that day, from which only quick reactions and some impressive new technology had saved her. But that was the sort of thing that happened five hundred feet beneath the surface.

Maria Luke and Susan Fitzpatrick were the two top scientists of their fields. For almost ten years they had worked side by side and developed a handful of great scientific discoveries. Maria was much prettier than Susan and much taller. Susan couldn't help but feel like she was the sidekick in their discoveries even though both of their names were on their reports. Maria was more popular with the other scientists of the university that they worked at. Almost every aspect about Maria's life seemed to dwarf that of Susan's.

I smiled at my reflection. The most gorgeous girl in college. Well, the hottest to say the least. My life is perfect- and I intend too keep it that way. That meant making Jessica Harper's life a misery. She's the only girl who could ever be better looking then me. Even though her boobs aren't as big as mine, her ass isn't as perfectly rounded, she's amazingly pretty. But, ugh, how can I be thinking this? Of course she isn't pretty. That's why I tease her- she needs to learn she will never be as amazing as me.
