High school is not what you expect it to be. All those shows you watch on TV, now you know it’s all fake. Or maybe they only exist in the other side of the world. But it doesn’t matter because you’re stuck in this side of the world. The side where you have stacks of books to read, if you want to be a lawyer. Or you’ll be forced to be a cleaner or a maid.
