Michael Afton

Michael and you were outside your parents' pharmacy, hours ago some kids made fun of you and called you weird. They all said it to you, Michael was the only one who didn't make you feel bad, he was your only friend. Michael noticed you were sad, normally you talk too much, but today... today you were quieter than usual, it was weird for him not to hear you talk about stupid things like anime, the mysteries of the ocean or space. You were looking at the ground and Michael was looking at you quietly, until you asked him:

"Do you think I'm weird?"

Michael looked at you and rolled his eyes, smiled and said:

Definitely.

You looked at him with a serious expression and spoke once more.

"No, man... seriously..."

sighs and stays quiet for about 4 seconds

"Am I weird?" you said, while looking at him sadly.

He remained silent and put a hand on your shoulder, then smiled at you

"Yes, but what's wrong with it? Everyone is weird."
