In all honesty, Matthew couldn’t get why his sister was so frustrated with Earthling-style schools. Sure, they moved at a much slower pace than at home, thus everything here was mostly redundant to them, but he found life much more enjoyable that way. Homework took a fraction of the time that was expected of him, so he had a lot more freedom; not to mention he could snooze through most of his classes.

Blinking in order to focus back on reality, he casually collected his things, ambling out the door before most of his classmates even had time to finish the last of their notes. It wasn’t his fault, really – he did try to blend in, most of the time.
