They were given an assignment in English at the start of the school year, meant to be one due at the end of the year or whenever they got it done. The assignment was to pick a topic they loved and write an essay of sorts on whatever about the topic. It was free reign on any topic and any type of essay surrounding it. Which made for lots of choices. Usually, this meant that it would take students a couple of days to decide on a topic.

Techno knew right away that he was going to pick Greek Mythology. It just wasn't a choice for him. Take a subject he did well in and a topic he loved and it was almost certain that he was going to find a way to do both at once. It's just a recipe for double the amount of dopamine and serotonin his ADHD brain usually got.

By the end of the period, the teacher asked the class if they knew their subject material yet. To the surprise of no one, Techno immediately put his hand up and answered. He was the only one in the class that knew what they were going to write on.

He spent the rest of the school day with a little bounce to his step, and normally this bounce would be unnoticeable to everyone but his close friends and family, but he was ultimately more excited than he thought because there were a few more stares than usual by his peers, more whispers and talk. Though he was used to being stared at like there was something wrong with him, so it didn't really bother him, just slightly annoyed him.

Speaking of his family, Wilbur and Tommy zeroed in on his excitement when it was lunch.

"What's got you so giddy today, Big Man?" Tommy asks him, while taking a bite out of his sandwich. He always talked with food in his mouth at lunch because he knew it annoyed Techno.

Techno narrowed his eyes. "I told you not to call me that." He didn't answer the question and Tommy didn't acknowledge his reply (wasn't ever going to abide it, either), only stared at him expectantly. "Assigned an assignment in English that we could choose anything to write on."

"What'd you choose?"

"Greek Mythology," Techno said, at the same time Wilbur did, appearing out of nowhere.

Both Tommy and him turned (they were too used to his spontaneous appearances that they didn't jump, not anymore) and Wilbur smiled, continuing. "You would never pass up an opportunity to write on Greek Mythology, especially during school." Their older brother sat down. "I think I remember that assignment from last year. You can choose anything to write on and any question or, uh...thesis statement? To answer or whatever. We have to do another one of those this year."

"Yeah, that's the one. That's cool." Techno turned back to his lunch. "I haven't decided what exactly to write on yet, just what it's going to be compared or referenced to."

Tommy laughed. "But you'll decide that soon. And you'll probably finish it before the month is done, too."

"And get an A-plus, of course. As always." Wilbur added, elbowing Techno in his side and smiling teasingly. "I expect nothing less." Techno only rolled his eyes in response and continued eating.

Wilbur and Tommy started bantering about something, but he didn't really focus on it, rather spending the rest of lunch zoned out thinking about what to write on with his Greek Mythology. It frustrated him that it eluded him, as he usually thought of this type of thing already. Why wasn't this one doing the same and just clicking, as it had for all the rest?
