"You are only breakable if you let others break you."
Miquote turned to look at her.
"I used to be very nerdy and anti-social.... I used to have glasses and the whole nerdy look. glasses, old shoes, a tie, etc. Jocks stuffed me in lockers, gave my wedgies, bullied me a lot."
He looked down with a sickened expression.
"But by the time I got to my senior year I wouldn't let them break me any longer. Sure I was nerdy, I still am. I changed my apperance, and everything. I can skateboard just as good as any pro, and I'm stronger." Miquote paused again.
"You can't let others drag you around and tell you what to do. Because that's what makes you feel small, and weak, and breakable.
I realized this while studying an ancient form of the human mind."
He scratched the back of his head.
"I'll probably be the biggest History nerd you'll ever meet."
He smiled at her, his sickened expression going away.
