So yesterday's
talk with Ben had been... weird. And it was making Topher try to think about serious things, which was never fun. He tried a couple of distractions, none of them successful, before he turned to idle hacking.
Look, he stuck to what he knew, okay?
Anyway, it wasn't like reading totally public school files was weird or unethical. Ender had asked for privacy, and Topher wasn't going to investigate him anymore anyway, but stuff like this wasn't the same thing.
La la la, names he recognized, names he recognized... wait, who was Lucy?
Oh, check that out. She looked like Quinn, kinda, except for the whole... chubby thing.
...oh. She was Quinn. So that explained that.
"Huh," Topher said aloud, taking that in. Then he shrugged, filed the information away, and made a mental note: School files? Also too boring to be an effective distraction.
Clearly his only hope was to watch some Galaxy Quest or something.
