“What have you learnt from books?” The teacher’s voice cuts through my thoughts. I look up from the phone screen as the others around me answer, “never give up” “If I want my life to have meaning, I have to live it myself”
“Life has no shortcuts”
“Bravery comes in many forms. It’s easy to stand up to your enemies than to stand up to your own friends”
“The one you love the most is the one you will hate the most”
“There is magic in the world, and it’s a lot closer than you think.“
“Even heroes are humans. It’s okay to have weakneses, and crying doesn’t make you weak”
“Doing nothing is just as bad as doing the bad thing”
I smile. Good tries. My teachers spots me, and asks me to answer.
“What’s your answer?” she asks.
“Field trips are shit.”
