Aventine squeezed his shoulder.

"Everyone, this is Gemini."

There was a clamor of noise as everyone tried to introduce themselves to him at the same time.

"Mom, I can introduce myself." Gem hisses, blushing. "Hey guys. Um... where should I sit?"

“Anywhere you find a seat is fine, dear.” The woman walked to the front of the room.

"Alright." He walks over and picks a seat in the back corner, away from other humans.

Skysong’s mouth tightened, but she said nothing about it as she started her lesson. 

Aventine squatted next to him. “You okay?”

"I'm fine. Just nervous. What if they judge me? What if they're already judging me?"

“Hey, it’ll be okay. And at least for today, I’m right here with you. I think you should sit next to someone, just try it for a bit, and from there we can figure it out. Okay?”

"Okay..." He stood up, face flushing, and walked over to another boy, taking the desk next to him.

"Hi. I'm Gem." Gemini whispered back, starting to smile a little.

“So what do you-“

”Kio, is something going on?”

He sat up straight (he’d been leaning toward Gem). “Uh, no, ma’am. I was just, uh… asking him if he needed help with the math.”

”Well, pay attention yourself. It’s fine to help others, but you need to listen during the lesson.”

”Right. Sorry.”

Gemini bit his lip to stop himself from laughing.

"Um... the tree is... outdoors?"

A group of girls -picture the stereotypical popular group - snickered at his answer. 

Skysong sighed. “Please pay attention. The question was, if the tree is twenty feet tall and the shadow is thirty feet long, how far is the top of the tree from the tip of the shadow, and what trigonometry ratio should we use to get our answer?”

"Tangent? I don't know how far."

The lesson continued. Kio was actually paying attention now. 

Gem's leg shook underneath the table, bouncing up and down silently. He listened semi-intently, trying not to zone out. Trig was actually something he understood and enjoyed, he was just easily distracted.

Gem is ADHD confirmed lol

After a while, the lesson ended. “Alright, everyone get lunch and be back in an hour.”

Most of the students rose and walked out of the classroom. The clique eyed Gem and giggled again as they left.

Maybe

Though I'm like that and (to my knowledge) I don't have ADHD

"Hey! Kio!" Gem runs over to catch up with him. "Wait up man!"
