—"I-I have a cow!"

He exclaimed before he paused

—"And two dogs... and also a cat..."

The group of boys he was talking to uncomfortably answered and he felt a very strong wave of self embarrassment, the advices his family told him were stupid and useless. Talk about animals! Be yourself! And Don't. Take. Anyone. Out. Of. Prison. Yeah...none of those things worked. He tried to apply for some school clubs but he declined the offer, he wasn't allowed to go to a tennis club and the dungeons and dragons club wasn't about fighting actual dragons,so he lost interest.

. . .

Now he was sitting on a school table with his sketchbook open, texting Richard about how the advices they had told him didn't help him in the absolute slightest, and again, Richard told him to be himself. It was like an annoying song chorus you can't get out of your head, breaking someone out of prison looked so tempting at this point

Please don't do that.

What a spoilsport...

. . .

Suddenly he heard a voice just next to him, he turned around to look at the person as he noticed it was someone his age, did they go to the same class? Not like he cared who attended class or not. But someone initiating an interaction with him was very surprising. He was considered to be intimidating by other students, they should be scared of him! Yeah! He could kill all of them in more than 200 ways. He's smarter than them, even more than his teachers! This is so unfair... But then he realised that he had been staring into the nothingness instead of answering what the person next to him just said...what did they say anyways?

—"Huh...? Mind repeating...? I couldn't quite catch that"

God, this was so embarrassing...Damn you Grayson—!
