I was a hardcore sapiosexual, and my family was loaded. So after the SATs, I effortlessly took the top spot, Henry Miller, right out from under the second-place student, Luna Scott, and I married him. After we got married, Henry Miller threw himself into his career. I handled everything at home and backed him up with cash whenever he needed it. Later, he became one of the most sought-after scientists at home, and Luna turned into his arch-nemesis. Both of them kept popping up on the news. During the interview, the host asked, "Mr. Miller, you've built an amazing career and have a happy family. Is there anything you regret in life?" "Yes," Henry said. Noticing the host's curiosity, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a high school graduation photo. I was in that photo, and so was Luna. I thought Henry would say his biggest regret was how badly he treated me back in high school, almost making me give up on chasing him. But instead, he pointed at Luna, the ponytailed girl in the photo, and said, "The only thing I regret in my life is that, because I answered one extra multiple-choice question right on the SATs, we didn't end up at the same college." When I saw that scene play out on TV, my mind went blank and the world started spinning around me. And the moment he looked straight into the camera, my vision went black. I blacked out on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in high school, at the scene where I publicly confessed to him for the nth time.
