"You're over thinking it, your just honest but I can teach you some social etiquette especially when talking women. hmm what else..... do you have a particular goal in life"
Theodore hesitated for a while before responding "I'll say it but try not to laugh. . . Well I want to be a star"
"Okay"
"Don't you think it's funny that someone who's hardly talked to another person wants to be a star"
"But isn't it because you're lonely that you want to be a star"
"Huh... I guess so, I've spent most of life as an introvert and my only friend was my Grandpa l It's pretty sad"
Megan shook her head "It's definitely sad but it's also sweet, well let's see what we can do to make you a star, have figured out what type of star you want to be"
Once again Theodore was hesitant "I actually want to do everything"
"That's quite the big goal but seeing as your genius it shouldn't be too hard but we need to start somewhere"
"I was planning to write a book first and publish it in Britain"
Megan's eyes lit up with stars when she heard he wants to be a writer, she got real close to Theodore and started asking questions with "Really you want to be a writer, tell me what story you gonna write, no don't tell me, tell me the genre your going for, is there gonna be a sequel to it...".
"Megan please calm down"
Megan's face went red with, She panicked and back away from Theodore before calming herself down "Sorry I get a little over excited when it comes to books"
"It's okay but if you want to Know what genre, then it's fantasy and it will be set in England's world war 2 era"
"Have you started writing it?"
"No, but I have it laid out in my head"
"Do you have a name for it yet?"
"Yeah, Its called The Chronicles of Narnia"
"That's really a unique name"
"Of cause a unique name to match a unique story"
"So have you started studying other entertainment based skill like acting singing"
"Yes but it's terrible, I noticed that I'm talented at almost everything that's not related to being a Star, oh and did mention I have stage fright"
Megan looked at Theodore with unwavering confidence and said "All that will be solved by your teacher, Megan Hancock"
Theodore felt his heart pulsate with expectations and replied with a soft gentle voice "Thank you"
"Why are you thanking me I already said I'll be your teacher I'm just encouraging my student"
"No, I'm saying thank you for being my first real friend" saying this he shows a wide smile on his face.
At most times Theodore will have fights with the system and he could be said to have a potty mouth (A person who swears a lot).
In Theodore's old life he never found a true friend, who went out of their way to help him when he was down. Who would have known that his first real friend would be the librarian, that only took a few minutes to show that she wants to help him?
Theodore has gone through plenty of hardships but his grandpa was always there to push him forwards. Both of his grandpas were wise old men that taught him to follow a few rules when it comes to treating people. The rules were simple and well know but it meant a lot to him.
Theodore remembers them well. The first someone shows you respect then treat them with the same respect. Theodore added his own understanding like if no one is willing to show you respect then become something worthy of respect.
But before you show respect for others you need to practice self-respect.Treat others the way you want to be treated and If someone shows concern for you then be sure to do the same.
Theodore has no intention to become a good person but it doesn't mean he will be the bad guy.
Although Theodore's a tough guy he feels the need to cry, turning his head away from Megan he secretly wipes away the tears in his eyes.
Megan felt every inch of her body melt from the warm and sincere thanks 'He so handsome and yet he's such a child'
She was also happy to gain a new friend seeing as most of her friends live outside of England.
"Good we'll start tomorrow, what time are you free?"
"Does the library open on Sundays?"
"Yeah the library isn't a shop so it's not breaking the Sunday trading laws"
"Well I'll be here at 3 pm, do you want me to bring anything"
"Don't worry your teacher will provide you with all the materials needed to learn so just bring yourself"
"Okay but Megan it's only 4 pm I don't plan to leave until 8"
Megan looked at the table that's been piled up with books and smiled "I'll let you do your own thing today but if you need anything just ask me, I'll be at the front desk"
"Okay see you in a bit"
After waiting for Megan to leave he looked back at the "good pen" that was on the table. Theodore had gained all the information about the pen.
The pen has four abilities, one was that it had infinite ink, not that amazing but definitely convenient. It has a voice recorder embedded in the lid that can be turned on with his thoughts it's also can't be detected.
Its third ability was that it has its own super fast WiFi that's only visible to him, he was pretty happy with his own portable WiFi.
But it's the fourth ability that had him on the edge of his seat. The fourth ability it was more of an add-on because it came with advanced calligraphy skill. He wasn't excited because of the skill but of the fact that he can get skills from items.
This had opened up a new possibility for him, this meant he could get a skill without the tedious repetition to acquire the skill.
Picking up the pen he noticed that it was surprisingly light as a feather. Then picking up Foundation level Biology, he read through and put his pen to paper and noticed the difference between his original handwriting to his newly acquired calligraphy 'wow my handwriting now has curls and flicks like those in the history books'
3 hours passed, Theodore finally finished going through all the science books and writing down notes when he heard the *ding*[Science upgraded to Advanced]
He was left with an hour and decided to ask Megan for some help. Standing in front of Megan's desk again he calls her name "Hey Megan can you help me"
This time Megan was prepared and quickly responded "Yeah sure what do need"
"Do you have any more books that can teach me how to draw and can I borrow a pencil oh and some more paper please"
After giving him paper and a pencil, Megan got up from her chair and said "I'll show you where we keep the art books"
Theodore followed behind her and asked, "You said we but the only person I see in the library most of the time is you?"
"Of cause I can't run the library on my own, so I still have staff who come in the morning to clean up and put the books into its the rightful place. Enough about that, how's about you tell me how you managed to change so fast in less than a week"
Edit: Changed it to feel more real and less of a forced empathy
Next chapter will Theodore will be referred as Theo
