Nate wasn't sure where this was all going. Was he going to get better this time? No one seemed to know how to help him. When he was at Hawthorne in his Sophomore year, things weren't much better than they were in the school back home. If anything, Hawthorne made things worse. He was bored back home, just drifting through life, his mind going a million miles a minute. He was intelligent, mroe than anyone knew. He learned things so quickly and he thought critically and logically. Reason and rationality were concepts he used on a daily basis but that school in a bad neighbourhood never helped much.
The teachers never knew what he was capable of. He was quiet, never spoke up in class and turned in papers and assignments that were near perfect or perfect if he actually felt like it. So of course they assumed he cheated some how or found the answers. It had always been that way. At least the teachers at Hawthorne seemed to accept it, though he was certain it was only because they had bigger problems to deal with, like making sure no one got killed when they were teaching their class.
It didn't matter though, he did his own study in his own time. He worked on his music, read up on everything from transmutation to astrophysics or classic literature. Whatever that might keep him busy because people weren't something he could spend his time on. It was difficult to be around them so he relied on the internet and on library books to keep him occupied.
Today he had a few books with him as he made his way to the sports field, only because he knew it would be quiet at three o'clock on a Friday afternoon. He moved up a couple of rows and sat down on the bleachers before pulling out one of his books and reading it.
