Alex held the cup and sipped. The liquid was more bitter than he had thought. He coughed and the liquid that was still not down his throat fell out.
He coughed hard as if he was choked on his drink when the kids scrunched up their faces. They looked disgusted by his actions.
"How could such a child be called noble?" Jay looked away with a frown when Lia shook her head and Stevan laughed.
"He is worse than I thought. You could not teach manners to a fool." Lia sighed as she turned back to her seat again.
"Well, we tried. But it looks like Alec did not want to befriend us. He is not putting any effort into it." Stevan added with a smirk.
The cup trembled in his hands and fell down. Alec was crying. His clothes were dirty and his face was stained. He looked like a mess. He could see others who did not like him. He tried, but the drink was too bitter. Would they understand if he explained them?
