"Hey, Bailey," Meg said, walking into Bailey's bedroom. "What's up? You sounded really upset."
Bailey looked up from her laptop, a frown creasing her forehead. "Remember my blog from back in high school?"
Meg rolled her eyes. "You mean the one that almost killed our friendship?"
Bailey sighed. "Yeah. That's the one. I promise, I haven't touched it in years...not since you and Chase got together. I kind of forgot about it. I don't know why I did, but I decided to check it. Take a look."

Bailey still couldn't believe it. Bailey Grant, with a science degree? It had been hard work, work she never thought she could do. But she had. She knew how to code in several languages. She understood concepts like flow, feedback loops, randomness and intentionality, and emergence.

Meg sighed. "I don't know, Bay."
"Look at this one."
