"I had a huge crush on you. You were really smart."
Murphy sighed. She was incredibly bored. "Precognitive, actually."
He blinked at her for a moment. "Yeah, you were really good in English."
Murphy's usage of SAT-level vocabulary usually halted the moment she got out of class. She had a thing against big words. In her view, they were superfluous. And she hated the wordsuperfluous.
