"Hey, you should draw," Violet insisted. "I bet you'll become an expert."
It is early in the morning, and Ronald is walking to school. He looked at Violet with a perturbed expression. Why ask that all of a sudden?
"Well, I have been watching most of the students' artwork and I want to see the way you draw..."
Dude, I can only draw stick figures...
"I know but you can improve..."
...we'll see... however, it will look sucky as heck...
As they arrived at the school, Carson was there resting on the stairs. When he saw Ronald, he waved and approached him.
"Hey," Carson greeted. "How are you feeling?"
Ronald gave him a thumbs-up as they walked around the hallways.
"You sure... sorry if I was not much of a help yesterday... I just wanted to speak up for you... you know... Gosh, I hate Maxime."
Ronald was about to pull out his pen and notebook until Luka snuck up behind them and place their arms around both of two boys' shoulders.
"Heyo," Luka shouted. "Yesterday, was crazy! Wasn't it!?"
"Yep, it sure was," Carson responded.
"You okay Ronal," Luka looked at the mute. "Maxime was sure giving you a hard time. If I was assertive enough, I would beat his face but sadly I am not like that..."
"But don't you have a crush on him?"
"Whaat?? That's less likely... Anyway, are you okay Ronal? If you're not I could give you a big comfort hug. I mean that's all I could give at the moment.
<No, No, I am fine.> Ronald gestured.
"Boy, you sure are expressionless," Luka commented.
<What makes you say that?>
"I never see you smile."
<I smile when I want to.>
"I guess so. So, what do you think now?" Luka turned to Carson.
"What do you mean," Carson asked.
"We all know what happened yesterday. While I was in the crowd, many people are having a change of thought on Ronal. Do you think our -I don't know- advisory will have a change in thought?"
"I don't know... what do you think?" Carson turned to Ronnie.
Ronald thought for a moment. <Everything would still be the same.>
"Why do you have to think negative," Luka questioned.
"What did he say," Carson asked.
"He said that everything will remain the same." They then turned to the mute. "Look, they were wrong for blaming you. It's like a person who has been claiming that all along they are right about something until they realized they were actually wrong, thus leading to embarrassment. Those who blamed you were ashamed. You were telling the truth and they didn't believe you, which means you prove them wrong. This should lead to a change of heart and a change of mind in the students, thus leading them to realize that you are different compared to your past. You did not try to murder them and throughout the whole two months, you did not even show any sign of threat. You were just acting like a normal person, going to a normal school. You are a different person... A changed person, I should say, and a good person. You are cordial and awesome, and I think these students, here, in this school, will see who you are right now and not who you were in the past."
