He huffed, rolling his eyes as Leo mentioned the punch. âIâd appreciate it if you refrain from bringing up that incident.â Even though he tried to brush it off, it was clear that he was still bothered by the time that happened from his slightly nervous tone. The punch had been painful, of course, and took a while until it had stopped feeling sore. He had to gather up all of his papers off of the ground while still feeling the dull ache throb in his midsection, and that was not fun. Not to mention the thoughts that went through his mind at the time.
Berdly noticed that Leo had been staring at him a bit. That just made him all the more uncomfortable. But he noticed that surprised look his classmate had began to fade away, and Berdly responded to Leoâs words with a simple shrug. Again, he was aware that he didnât apologize to people often. He normally felt like he didnât need to, because he was always right, after all. But he wasnât. He especially wasnât right to put the blame on someone who didnât deserve it. He had tensed up a little at the shoulder pat, but it seemed to have been done as a form of reassurance, so he relaxed slowly.
It was Berdlyâs turn to be surprised. He looked at Leo, âWell, uh⊠In all honesty, I wasnât expecting you to just forgive me so quickly. That, uh, certainly makes it easier.â Then he glanced away again, âStill, I suppose I might as well offer. If thereâs anything I could do to make it up to you somehow, wellâŠâ
âIt makes it easier, I know, but it was super minor situation blown out of proportion from both sides being heavily irritated..I saw this all the time when I was with my parents. They werenât exactly the best couple or parents if ya didnât know, its why I kinda live alone now. Old enough to fend for myself ânâ such..â Leo paused for a moment before continuing..
 âBut, nah you donât have to do anything in return to make up for it. You already stress yourself enough with your school work even though its not that necessary to overwork it. Kinda makes me wonder, is it truly easy for you..or do you struggle? Iâd understand if you do and are just trying extra hard.â Bit of stretch, but Berdly to him doesnât seem the type to struggle on anything but its high school work. They do tend to toss curve balls of work out of the blue to stagger students however, to give them a challenge to make themselves smarter. Thatâs tests really or sudden papers to write up though.
âAside from all that though, and you donât have to answer my previous question if you donât want to. Just glad you actually apologized. I am sorry myself for stomping your work out of my own aggression if I hadnât already said it. ..Normally I am the quiet âI wonât do too muchâ dude in the background cause I ainât that social. I know, surprising considering I am talking for this long but..once you get goinâ its hard to stop yâknow?â Man, Leo sure is talking a lot, but that is just exactly how it is for some. Anti-social as heck but once youâre chill and they understand your chill..theyâll go on and on. But for this, really Leo is a kind guy so long as youâre kind in return and arenât and absolute butt and hes showinâ that off tenfold and he knows hes doing that! Mostly because he wants to show hes not a jerk himself.
