Later in the afternoon, the 'Esteem-a-Teen' 'course' had started. Alex sat there, bored out of her skull as Mr. O'Neill droned on.
“Esteem... a teen. They don't really rhyme, do they? The sounds don't quite mesh. And that, in fact, is often the case when it comes to a teen and esteem. The two just don't seem to go together. But we are here to begin realizing your actuality...”
'Exactly the same,' Alex thought.
However, the girl in front of her, whom she recognised from the previous morning, put up her hand; “Excuse me. I have a question.”
“I want to know what 'realizing your actuality' means.”
“It means... look, just let me get through this part, okay? Then there'll be a video!”
Alex looked around. Everyone else had ignored her. (Except for the artist girl, but she was on the other side of the room.) So she leaned forward. “He doesn't know what he is saying. It's all a script.”
“Then how am I supposed to follow him?” the other girl asked in a monotone.
“I have notes, somewhere. I have taken this course six times.”
