[ He can't be bothered to type today, he's speeding right on through his homework ]

Okay, I'll compromise. I'll go to school everyday of the week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's fair, right?

[ Because those are the days music class happens and he refuses to make fool of himself with lack of any kind of music ability whatsoever. ]

The kids at teitan elementary don't seem to notice. But I'm not really close to them.

Why not?

I don't know, I only talk to them at school.

You might try talking to them out of school.

I'd rather stay in and read.

[ bless you, she's just the same. ]

People are important, regardless of how tedious you find them now. Learning how to interact with them, whether you like them or not - especially if you don't is a necessary skill.

Well, some of them are on my soccer team. That should be good enough

Are you sure?

[ ... ]

...Shouldn't it?

It seems to me to be a lot to risk on something you aren't one hundred percent sure of.

You're the adult. You should know better than I do.

I don't suppose that would make you listen to me.

[ ...Does he think Irene is one of the few adults worth listening too? ]

[ ... ]

[ Yes, yes he does. He likes her so far, at least. ]

I don't know, it depends on the subject.

I'm flattered.

[ ...Was that sarcasm? He hasn't really learned that trick yet. ]

Why? Aren't kids supposed to listen to adults?

[ not at all. and irene is the sort of adult parents keep their children away from. ]

Why? Because that is what you're told to do?

[ He sees nothing wrong with her. ]

That's what most adults think isn't it? That kids have to listen because we're not as smart or experienced. They're wrong of course, but that's what they usually think.

You'll quickly find I'm not like 'most adults'.

That's why I like you. [ Ahem. ] you haven't tried to condescend to me at all yet. [ That he's noticed, anyway ]

You haven't deserved it. [ yet. and besides, when she does, it won't be because he's a child. ]

Not going to music class is a fairly good reason to, however.
