Tolaram wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up, but he knew he liked stones, shells, shinny things. So many he could dig and hunt for those things and sell them to other people. Perhaps there was something else he could do, that he hadn't thought of yet. He wasn't worried about what he would or wouldn't be, all he knew was he was ready to move on to his next step in his life, junior year at the academy. He was looking forward to learning more, seeing more, perhaps being a little taller than he was now. Life moved forward it was a good thing. He wouldn't let those who thought his eyes were strange drag him down, there were those who didn't even notice his hallowed feature. Whereas some asked if he was an albino or something like that. Tola just had to let that stuff wash over him like a stone in the river and not let it bother him anymore. He would be fine. Hopefully, he would find some juniors to be his friend soon. Tolaram sighed and shook his head it was a silly thought he didn't need to worry about friend.. Right?? Friends would happen?? Tolaram hoped so maybe Juju would be his friend?? They had seemed nice when he had lunch with them that one day. Even offered to let him wear their sweater. Which Tolaram had refused since he hadn't wanted to leave Juju wet and cold. Tolaram was a nice guy, quiet but nice and there was nothing wrong with that, least he didn't think so.
