Fair warning: this guy is a little messed up.

I walk through the school, taking in my surroundings, finally, truly appreciating the escape. It’s a new year, a fresh start. Did school air always smell this stale? And the sweat! Goodness, teenagers stink. I just barely hold back a laugh. God, I’m going insane.
Lockers slam. Kids shout. Shoes squeak on the tiles. Chairs’ squealing across the tiles of classrooms echo out into the hallway. It had always been so diluted when I was constantly on the watch for him. Not anymore. He graduated. I’m safe. Well, he still lives with Ma’ and Da’, but I have a safe place now. Safe. It’s much more difficult to hold back the laugh this time, but I manage.

Hello, good Talkiors and Talkiettes! (Insert elaborate bow here). I present to you: Avery McHenald. This charismatic and happy-go-lucky 18-year-old is not all that he seems. While his caring and genuine mask seems to have all the girls and most of the guys fooled, Avery breaks more than a couple laws on the daily. He rarely pays for what he wants, and it’s even more rare that he gets caught. He participates in late night street racing from time to time. But his biggest transgression is in his secret business. While he doesn’t generally do anything with it (hard to believe, I know), he regularly takes orders for the special green stuff (ifykyk). He does a little bit of bullying here and there, too. Oh, yeah, and he’s an undiagnosed sociopath. Emphasis on “undiagnosed”. Isn’t he just a ball of sunshine?

You, my friends, are probably a little ill in the head too, but not without reason. Your entire life has been overshadowed by your older brother. He’s seems to think you’re his personal punching bag—and anger outlet. Under your parents’ eyes is the only safe space. Y’all pick the rest. NO VOICE. I’LL EAT YOUR COOKIES 😤 Have fun!
