Stand Out, Fit in... it was always one or the other.. it could never be both. The adults and fellow people in school They yell, they preach.. about fitting in, as if it wasn't okay to stand out.. Teenagers weren't allowed to be themselves.. they couldn't stand out, they had to fit in like the other kids in school. Especially when it came to guys and girls.. Big boys don't cry, Shoot low, aim high, Eat up, stay thin.. they never stopped saying that... nor could they make up their minds.. Good girls don't fight, Be you, dress right, White face, tan skin.. It just wasn't fair on how judgemental people were in this world..

Xeno was one of those teenagers who didn't fit in though, he stood out like a sore thumb.. He wasn't sporty or athletic like most guys nor was he built well or into annoying girls.. Xeno kept more to himself... he was more on the thin and skinny side... and took up a love for science. Usually people avoided him or bullied him unless they wanted to use his smarts for a project for their own benefit..

Today in San Francisco was a hot day being around 106°F (41.1°C).. Most guys and girls took that as a advantage to walk around school grounds barely wearing anything.. Xeno never understand the hype about wearing such revealing clothes but he never questioned.. The one thing Xeno was focusing on was the mathematics in front of him as he sat in his first period which happens to be science...

“Hmfp—.. these equatorial mathematics.. are quite elegant..”

Xeno muttered quietly underneath his breath to himself... he we focusing solely on this and wouldn't want to be bothered as the bell rang for class to start..
