They call me Mr. Perfect. Sure, I like the name and all, but I feel like I can't be myself around other people. 

I walked down the hall, checking on classrooms periodically as well. I would normally say I enjoyed this, except for when I had to go by the delinquents. Reginald Copperbottom, Burt Curtis, Sven Svensson, and Right Hand Man weren't all too bad, they still sucked, but they were tolerable.
Then I had to deal with Ellie Rose and Henry Stickmin. Those two... I cannot begin to explain the trouble they cause me every single day.
Ellie, she smokes, cusses you out, threatens to fight you, has been suspended a multitude of times, and normally is seen by the dean of students.

Then there's Henry.

Where do I even begin with Henry?

The man has broken out of a juvenial detention center many times, rumored to have stolen the Tunisian Diamond, and put Right Hand Man in a coma in middle school; the guy had cybernetic augmentations maybe two weeks after the incident. 

Henry wasn't born to play around, but rather to make my job in student council a living hell. Every other day I was reporting him to the dean for so many reasons. 

My thoughts were interupted by the bell ringing, it was lunch time. I grabbed my lunch from my locker and headed to my lunch table where my best friend, Delilah Alexandra, was sitting. She gave a huge smiled and waved.

"Hey Lila!" I smiled.

"Ay Charlie!" Delilah said.

"What's new?" I asked.

"Nothing much, you?" She said.

"I caught Henr-"

"Henry was smoking behind the school and Ellie told you to fuck off? Charlie, this happens almost every other day," she said.

"I guess you're right," I said, taking a bite of my sandwich.

"Can I have a bite of that?" Lila asked

"Hell no. Get your own food!" I scoffed.

"Ouch, what happened to Mr. Cinnamon Roll?" She asked.

"I am nice on any other occasion, except when it comes to my food," I said.

"Understandable," she said, taking a sip of water.

My thinking shifted back to the delinquents; I wish there was some way I could help them. I mean the Toppats, as they call themselves, were alright. It's Henry and Ellie that I'm concerned about. 

"Ay, Mr. Perfect," Delilah said waving her hand infront of my face.

"Huh?" I said.

"Thinking about Stickmin and Rose?" She asked.

"How'd you-"

"Charles, we've been friends since we were kids. I know you better than anyone else," she said.

I sighed, "You really do."

"Do you think that you might get him some help?" She asked.

"Yeah, yeah I do," I smiled.
