“Do you like being reminded that I'm superior in Computational Biology?” Scarlett texts Lukas after his Coach, Ur, spots the marking she drew on his palm.

Lukas is a world championship holder and an Olympian while Scarlett is a girl who is a year behind in college because of a painful injury.

Coach Ur believes in good luck charms and for this season, the good luck charm is the mark on Lukas’ palm. The problem is that Scarlett doesn't want to have anything to do with him. There are so many legitimate reasons and at the top of them is this: she is the best friend of Lukas’ ex, a girl he dated for 7 years.

But Lukas can’t stay away, “I have a thing for girls who are smarter than me.” He parries back.
