Really good ending.
There's a sub story to the main story.
Pseudo intellectual is upset that a girl he likes wants to be with someone he sees as "lower level". I've been there. It's a *beep* stance to have, and even *beep* to act on it in a vindictive way. I've kind of been there too.
Conclusion, cut your loses, wish everyone a good day AND MOVE THE *beep* ON.
