He didn’t have much to gain by letting this guy copy his homework, truth is, he had nothing to lose. They were impressed, usually a nerd or a nobody like himself would use whatever pathetic pride they have left in their shells to strike out, and tell the teacher or act emotionally or otherwise, but heck what was the point? You give the guy the homework, he leaves you alone. Thats all he wanted.

So the guy with the cap took the homework, and as Jack moved his cap to read what this pathetic nobody had given him, he would talk to the nobody and ask him to clarify points of his handwriting that Jack couldn’t read. Maybe a 2 looks like a 3, or maybe a 6 looks like an 8. However all the same, he made a “legit” copy ,and Jack would have the same grade as the nobody. Since why would the nobody care? He is a nobody after all.

The nobody has his homework returned, but the homework came back with an offer. Jack was impressed, whether it was because he wanted to make the nobody rely on him, or whether he wanted to help him ,and introduce him to the big world of drugs, the offer was a nice bag of pot, with a copy of a violent video game.

This is not what the nobody had expected, this is not what the nobody was prepared for. He didn’t have a answer. He first tried to put off the offer with an excuse.

” I don’t wanna get addicted to that stuff.”

” It’s not addictive, I don’t need it, why would you?”

The nobody just personally tried to avoid answering the question. Until the period ended. However Jack did not give up, math class, after math class, he would talk to the nobody and offer him drugs and strippers, all the while having the nobody’s homework to copy.

There was a history of drug abuse in the nobody’s family, a history the nobody didn’t want to continue, but heck, the weeks toiled on, and the mental defenses the nobody raised up, were only withering and falling down. Jack was making progress, and the nobody knew it , when he asked himself the question ” would it really be all that bad?”
