Anthony and Asher had gone out to buy new school supplies.
As engineering students, they certainly had to work their asses off. As high schoolers, they gave themselves difficult assignments, projects, and countless calculations, they went through calculators at an almost impressive rate. They always managed to wear out at least two calculators a year.
Honestly, they weren't even sure how they kept doing it.
They just used them too much. What else could they do?
"Have you found a ruler yet?" Anthony asked, glancing over his shoulder.
"Not yet!" Asher replied from the other side of the aisle. "Why are all the long ones either too expensive or made of some flimsy material?"
"Because we decides to get into engineering..."
Anthony chuckled to himself before returning his attention to the calculators displayed on the shelves.
He picked one up, pressed a few buttons, and checked the functions. Then he put it back and reached for another.
