"Ugh... I hate school. I mainly just sit around while you waist time learning pointless information." ElfMan said in an annoyed tone.
"Calm down ElfMan, so I took a little too much time getting here. Nothing to be upset about." Alex said as he walked down towards school, looking at his handheld Advanced PET. "Lucky me. While you are busy eating again, I only had those old video game programs to entertain me. What's the point of food again?" ElfMan asked. "Food is what keeps me alive, I need it to stay healthy." Alex explained. "Human logic. Well, wake me up when you need me, I'll be killing time in sleep mode." ElfMan said. "Ok ElfMan, have a nice nap." Alex said happily. "Alex, how many times do I have to tell you, it's not a nap. I am merely temporarily shutting down so I don't have to process the emotion of boredom." ElfMan exclaimed. But like always, he was getting a little bossy. Alex just shrugged it off. "Ok ElfMan, what ever you say." He said. "And stop referring me by my name over and over again!" ElfMan shouted in an angry tone.
Alex gave a smile as his PET shutdown. He then slid it into his pocket and then gave a content sigh. "At last, a moment without my NetNavi nagging me to death." He said. He then continued his walk and soon reached the front school door. Looking around, he noticed two other people there, Hiro and Jake. Instantly, he remembered some of the advice ElfMan had given him one time.
"Ok Alex, those people up ahead, go talk to them. Go make some friends, and maybe even tell the girl, if it is a girl, I can't tell, she's cute. You keep locking yourself up to much, go ahead and unlock." ElfMan's voice echoed.
"Oh ElfMan, if only you were in my shoes." He muttered to himself. School was not about making friends, it was about learning, even though he was still quite smart. He was just going to get to his class, learn school stuff, eat, learn more, and then go home.
