Sitting next to the window, a thin frame pressed his face against his palm, fidgeting with the pen in his grip. His eyes fixed to the frozen nature outside of the glass. A teacher at the front of the classroom scribbled formulas on the blackboard, swaying with the flick of her wrist. She paused to tell the classroom to be quiet, and then noticed the body at the window. "Jin, please pay attention. It is a blessing to be taught" the teacher exclaimed. The boy did not move. The rest of the classroom made it so that they looked as if they were studying. "Please, Jin, do as I do and pay attention." Yet the boy still glared out of the window. A somber expression was no stranger to his soft face. Frustration surged through the professor's mind, but she kept a calm front. Walking up to his desk, she sighed. Why must he be like this? She thought. "Please look at my eyes, Jin-Sen." She begged him time after time to pay attention, to show others respect and to smile once and a while. Jin flinched at his name, like the words were razor-sharp and dug into his heart. I don't have a heart. "I am very mad at you, I really don't like the way you act and I wish you would stop! You are an ungrateful child and only think of yourself! Be as I am, selfless and compassionate!" The teacher heard a voice bellowing from inside her, the one she suppressed when she was angry. But Jin brought the voice to life, making the teacher hard to control herself. She covered her mouth. He turned to face the teacher, his appearance now livid. All attention was on the teacher and her pupil. "You should be more like me. You should be more like me so no one can take advantage of you. Put up a wall and give them the silent treatment so they can't take advantage of you. You wish you were like me, that's why you always pester me to pay attention, so you can decipher my thoughts and help yourself to my disposition. I don't want to be like you, you should be more like me!" Jin faced the window once again. The teacher began to tear. Looking through the windowpane, Jin still protested, "See how you let people take advantage of you? I take advantage of you, your students take advantage of you, and the man that lives next to you takes advantage of you. Grow some backbone, you're a disgrace."
She now covered her face, bawling like mad. "Leave! Leave the room now!" she yelled. Closing the door, Jin finished with, "Assertion. Now there's a good start."

Opening a book, Jin sat in his usual table nearest a window. No one dared to sit in that forbidden space, in fear of becoming as bitter as the boy who inhabited it. Flipping through the pages of his hardback, a lone girl approached him. "I liked what you said to our English professor - that was real bad ass." She slipped herself into the bench. Jin glared at the book blankly. He knew why the girl was here, he was no idiot. The girl groaned, "You know, you should smile more often, you've got a cute face." Jin moved his eyes from the book to the girl's mug. She looks stupid, he thought, too much makeup. Jin concentrated back into his book, his eyes harsh. "Natural beauty is the only real beauty" he whispered. The girl was moved aback. "Are you that conceited? Because if you are, I can understand why" she winked. Jin hated how she emphasized words, and he also despised how ignorant she was. "I'm not conceited; I'm just saying that natural beauty is the real and only beauty," he looked her in the eyes "and that you don't have it." The vast passion in his eyes melted the girl, she knew of how much more he could achieve, but he let himself fall time and time again. Realizing his offense, she hesitated. "Wait, what? What do you mean? You can't really-" "Please leave me alone, I'm tired of you" Jin smirked. The way he used words, the way he toyed with people's emotions, was inhumane and unreasonable to the frail. "You're cruel, and have no heart...I don't know what I ever thought I saw in you" the girl yelled. "I realized a long, long, while ago that I had no heart. And really, what did you see in me?" Jin continued to smile, forcing the girl to go weak in the knees. Her heart fluttered like a butterfly escaping a tretorous event. "I-I don't know" her voice went quite, her face coming closer to his. She closed her eyes and forced her lips forward. "Please don't, I really wouldn't like that." The girl recoiled as her lips continued to touch the air where Jin's face should have been. When she glanced forward, he was half way across the library. The girl sat and pouted, watching the body she could never touch parade away from her grasp.
