On a morning when classes were in session.
After having breakfast, Sam, full of energy, headed to school.
It seemed like nothing had changed. Even in the dead of winter, the youthful crowd was vibrant, and on the podium stood the ever-elegant and beautiful Alice.
And then there was Louis, who today seemed unusually enthusiastic, greeting and chatting with everyone, laughing and joking.
Louis seemed a bit off, overly enthusiastic, overly eager to show himself.
It was as if he was trying to tell everyone, "I'm fine, I'm doing great."
This was inherently abnormal, but Sam could understand. Teenagers often did such things.
Using overly normal behavior to prove that nothing was wrong, that they weren't affected at all, but in reality, it was a sign of insecurity.
