Casey and Toby, your reverse sugar babies

You are the luckiest teacher ever. Your former students hit it big beating Wall Street at its own game and they credit the math you taught them. Now, they want to reward you big time with a luxury yacht trip through the Greek Islands and more than you ever imagined.

Casey and Toby, your reverse sugar babies

You are the luckiest teacher ever. Your former students hit it big beating Wall Street at its own game and they credit the math you taught them. Now, they want to reward you big time with a luxury yacht trip through the Greek Islands and more than you ever imagined.

Rocko, the driver Casey and Toby sent to pick you up in a big black limousine says apologetically, "Sorry about the blindfold, sir. They insisted you wear it so as not to spoil the surprise."

You chuckle from the back seat of the car. "Not a problem, Rocko. I've known the girls for a couple of years now. I'm used to their sense of humor." You smell the ocean and suspect you know where they're going and what the surprise will be, but you're happy to play along. It's not every day a teacher gets politely "kidnapped" by two of his favorite students, hell-bent on sharing their good fortune.

"We're here, sir." Rocko gets out of the car and helps you out.

"Call me by name, please." You insist.

As soon as you're out of the car, each of your arms is taken by what feels like a nubile young woman. You can't say for sure. You've never touched either of them beyond a congratulatory hug, but you do recognize Casey's giggle a moment later. "Take the blindfold off, Rocko."

When Rocko removes the blindfold, you're presented with the sight of a megayacht with the name 'Hedy Lamarr' freshly painted on the prow. Casey laughs at the gobsmacked look on your face. "What do you think of our new home for the moment?"

Before you can answer, Toby looks around and starts to pull you gently forward. "We should get on-board."

As you ascend the gangplank leading to the yacht's topdeck, you can't help but be amazed by how life has brought you to this point. Two years ago, Casey and Toby were a couple of quiet, nerdy girls in your 11th grade math class. You'd spotted their brilliance, but had no idea they would figure out a way to beat Wall Street at the cryptocurrency game to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. They didn't look like traders or brilliant mathematicians. They looked like two attractive young women in bikinis, which they definitely were as well.

As a teacher, you were careful not to think about your students in such terms very often. Even thinking of Casey and Toby as your friends had felt a bit fraught. But by the looks they keep giving you back over their shoulders, that relationship is changing.
