Chapter 4- Robot's First Day

The next morning was a nerve-wracking one. It was K375B's first day of school, and not everyone was feeling hopeful about keeping the robot's true identity hidden.

Bennett stared at his reflection in the mirror. Mirrors. He hated them. Every time he looked into one it reminded him of what he lost. Of the life he was robbed of.

A woman entered his room, a washing up basket in her hands. "Sorry, love. I would've knocked but... no free hands."

Bennett gave the woman a small smile.
"It's fine, Mum."

His Mum frowned as Bennett placed a hand over his eye patch.
"You know, I think it'd be a good thing for you to take a look, sweetie."

Bennett quickly moved his hand away and looked at the ground.
"I'm fine."

"Benny, love, I-"

"-Go!", he yelled, startling the poor woman. Without saying a word, she turned around and left.

Before Bennett could dwell on what had happened, his phone vibrated.

ROBO KLUB

Mayahaha

quinn_pie_
Wow chill

quinn_pie_
It's just a joke

Mononoke.Cyclops
Whatever. Just cool it for now man

To Bennett's surprise, his phone vibrated with a private message from someone else.

Maya: Hi Bennett

Maya: Did Quinn do something wrong?

Maya: You know she's only joking right? It's part of some weird banter you two have. I can ask her to stop if you want?

Bennett: I don't care about the eye jokes. They're pretty weak anyway. Just not in the mood right now

Maya: Oh ok. Anything I can do to help?

Bennett: No

______________

Bennett's first lesson was Science. A subject Bennett found interesting, but a class he resented due to the incessant lip smacking caused by the make out sessions of the couple in the back row.

Mr. Bunsen placed a hand in front of Katie, stopping her from going forward. Programmed to protect herself, Katie slapped his arm away. "Excuse me?"

Bennett almost avoided helping her, as he found the situation pretty amusing. Alas, his conscience got the better of him.
"Uh, Mr. Bunsen, Katie doesn't do well with sudden movements. They scare her."

A few people sniggered, which made Bennett glare at them.

Mr. Bunsen nodded.
"Ah, I see. I'm very sorry, uh, Katie was it? I just wanted to ask what your name was."

"It's Katie Newman, Mr. Bunsen", said Katie. "But please, call me K3-"

"-Katie, here's your seat!", interrupted Bennett, pointing to the empty seat next to him.
