Moving. Yet again. Because this ducking stupid—
No. Get yourself under control. You know what happened that time—
Okay. New school. Mmhm. It's alright.
He arrives at the school...
"Now get back there and help those morons put up that net. I see you slacking, Greenberg!"
Everyone is pretty impressed.
And then he has econ, with Mr. Finstock.
Mr. Finstock certainly enjoys teaching students about how incentives work, since they don't seem to respond to them properly.
Get your act together.
After class, his future coach stops him.
"Do you have a lacrosse stick yet? You can borrow one today, but you'll need to buy one if you want to be on the team."
"I don't, and alright, where do I find one to buy? ...and how expensive is it, exactly, if I may ask?"
"More than a breadbox, less than a hockey stick? Look it up. Ask a friend. See you there."
Ade said he'd sit with the popular kids today so he'll do that, giving Scott and Stiles a small wave when he sees them.
"Trying to prove a point. Am I more attractive to guys or girls?"
"...I am genderfluid and my attraction doesn't change when I'm a girl so I don't think I count."
"Oh I totally find Jackson super hot, it just doesn't change whether boys or girls find him attractive more." Pause. "I also probably find more people attractive than most people."
"I think I'm going to be flattered anyway. Who else falls into that camp, so far? Danny, Lydia, Allison?"
"How about we live up to all the hype? I told Ade we were the popular crowd."
"We are popular. I throw all the best parties, and nothing gets done around here unless I'm behind it."
