  • Hello.

  • Hi.

  • Who are you?

  • I'm Paige.

  • I like your bow tie.

  • Thank you.

  • You seem awfully young, Paige.

  • Are you with an adult who's taking this class?

  • No.

  • Dr. Sturgis heard about my research on quantum chromodynamics at high temperatures and invited me to audit his course.

  • Is that so?

  • Yes.

  • He's been super nice.

  • Interesting.

  • Well, just so we're clear, he's my mentor, he's my meemaw's boyfriend, and he had spaghetti and hot dogs at my house.

  • The spaghetti goes on the hot dogs.

  • No.

  • You realize this is a very advanced class.

  • We'll be discussing deriving nuclear physics from the quark model.

  • Do you know if he'll be doing a full-color octet calculation with matrix manipulations?

  • I do not.

  • Do you know how to differentiate under the integral sign?

  • No.

  • Oh.

  • Do you know anything?

  • I know you're in my spot.

  • Do you ever wish you were just like everyone else?

  • Not at all.

  • Me neither.

  • I love being smarter than everyone.

  • Me too.

  • I started to think that Paige and I might have more in common than I thought.

  • Maybe my mother was right.

  • I really did just need to get to know her better.

  • Checkmate.

  • You lose.

  • Red alert.

  • Phasers, stand by to fire on my order.

  • Guess that makes me the smartest.

  • I don't know if 10-year-old Spock ever flipped a chess board, but 10-year-old Sheldon sure did.

  • Welcome.

  • Glad to see we got so many people interested in radioactive decay.

  • Well, hello.

  • Hi.

  • This is a nice surprise.

  • I don't usually see young people at my lectures.

  • I enjoyed your paper on accelerator math spectrometry and wanted to find out more.

  • Is that so?

  • And you?

  • I read this magazine.

  • Uh-huh.

  • It has puzzles, too.

  • Okay.

  • Do you want to kick this off and tell us exactly what carbon dating is?

  • 5,730-year half-life of carbon-14 is used as a geochronometer.

  • Anything else you'd like to add?

  • Um...

  • Carbon dating is how we figured out how old my grandmother is.

  • It was at this moment I learned I was not only brilliant, I was also hilarious.

  • I had survived a perilous trip to the accessory store.

  • But it turned out the real accessory was me.

  • I can't believe you stole.

  • You walked out with it.

  • You stole.

  • Why would I steal glitter?

  • I already have a sparkling personality.

  • Tell it to the cops.

  • Or your cellmate.

  • Go get me a beer, woman.

  • What?

  • It infuriates my mom when my dad says it.

  • Sheldon, stop.

  • You can't upset me.

  • Why not?

  • Because there are things in my life that are way worse than anything that you can come up with.

  • You mean your parents splitting up.

  • Obviously.

  • I think I know how to irritate you.

  • I bet you think the divorce is all your fault, and now your family is torn apart forever.

  • Did I do it?

  • Did I get under your skin?

  • I can still hear the sound of her fist hitting your face and your head bouncing off the floor.

  • That is enough.

  • It was like thwack, and then...

  • What are you doing?

  • We have a crush on each other, so... now we have to kiss.

  • We do?

  • I mean, it's where the data has led us.

  • I suppose.

  • Okay.

  • Now close your eyes and pucker up.

  • This might tickle.

  • What's happening?

  • Are we kissing?

  • You bet.

  • How was that?

  • I didn't feel anything romantic.

  • Hm.

  • Me either.

  • I guess it wasn't a crush after all.

  • I guess not.

  • To be continued...

Hello.
