Even Benjy's firing back defensively didn't get a rise out of Garrick as it normally would. He shrugged one shoulder slightly and pressed his hands against the glass in the window and peered down. "Right now I'd rather be there than here. Mum wants me out of this dreadful place, too... So why not give her what she wants and just go home?" He didn't want to fight with them anymore right now. He hadn't the energy, honestly.

This time he turned to face his cousin and shook his head. "Just because I am not rude and outspoken I am shunned... It's ridiculous. The kids here seem to be raised by wolves. They have no manners and the things they say." He shook his head sadly. "They don't realize how hurtful it is." And was he naming names? Nope. Just gonna let it be known that he disliked most of the people he was getting to know around here. "I mean... you know I would love to go around telling everyone how much they disgust me and punching and fighting, but it's uncivilized and uncouth. And that makes ME a loser." SCOFF. He was tired of being treated that way.

"And I told Lotus I fancy her, she said she fancies me, but I can't be around her anymore. I like her a lot, but that terrible friend of hers will never let us have... any normal time together. I feel as though I have to sneak to see her. I can't sit with her in classes. I am not someone to be hidden away. But it sure doesn't feel good." SIGHS.

And yeah, he had just went on a tangent. Shrugging once more he directed his gaze back out the window. This time he even pressed his forehead to the glass and looked down.
