So if I'm going to make any friends it is probably going to be at school. How should I make a good first impression?
School is a lot like prison. Find the biggest bully and beat him up. This should be perfect for you.
It's up to you whether you want to take it from there to "I beat you up so we're friends now" or "I beat you up so now you fester with resentment and consider me your life-long arch-nemesis".
The biggest bully here is me, on account of all my childhood exercise. The second biggest bully is some farmer's kid though.
And I totally beat them up!
My teacher pulled me off of him and put me in the naughty room the rest of the day. Then when I got home my "parents" yelled at me and took away my sweet flower the rest of the week. Then made me go to my room too.
As embarrassing as this was to go though with the mind of a grown man, I am certainly happy they don't seem to have corporal punishment in this world.
All the other kids are avoiding me now. The teachers are all keeping an eye on me so I don't cause any more trouble. Everyone is kinda treating me like a budding sociopath rather than a friend or rival.
Anyway at school we have mostly been learning our ABCs, numbers, and that sort of thing. There is some magic training! It is all basic safety. Like "Don't play with matches or swallow bleach" basic. Probably a good thing to give people before handing them matches and bleach but not really useful to me.
What else should I get up to while at school?
