From Create Your Own Story
You are sitting in the very back of your classroom, in the far corner, studiously taking notes. You are trying to ignore the other students, all of whom either ignore you or pick on you throughout the school day, and focus on your grades.
The teacher is droning on about the Napoleonic Wars. You note down evrything. The only friend you have ay school, a slender, highly intelligent boy named Mitchell, is sitting in the seat next to yours.
There's a knock on the door of the classroom. One of the other teachers enters and goes up to your teacher. There's a whispered conversation and both of them walk over to a student who's one of the school's most infamous troublemakers.
"I'll be back in a few minutes, class," your teacher intones. He yanks the troublemaking student up from his desk. "I need to help escort Tyrone here to the principal's office. Don't wreck the classroom while I'm gone."
The second the door closes behind him, decks of cards are produced, gum emerges from pockets and purses, and conversation breaks out all over the room. But the two outcasts, you and Mitchell, are ignored by everybody. As usual.
You feel something odd on your leg. It takes you a moment to realize that Mitchell has shyly placed his hand on your thigh. He turns towards you and gives you a gentle smile. You give him a soft one back.
Do you:
