Kid.
Hey, kid.
I'll keep this brief. I know how much you don't like being messed around. Still, hate to say it, but you've got a lot of that to get through yet.
Things are hard for you right now. Too many things are changing, and you're scared that everything you know is going to be swept away. You won't admit it, of course; you'll hide what you're really feeling behind a smile and that black sense of humour you're so proud of.
That's something you'll get good at doing, over the years.
I'm afraid that there's not much comfort I can give you, but I'll try. Remember those two big dreams you had? You'll make one come true very, very soon, and you'll start working on the other before too long. It'll take years, longer than I can say. But I'm still hopeful, little guy, so you can be too.
I guess that high school won't be so bad- you're a sharp kid, and it'll show in your work, but you'll be marked for life as a "geek" by the others who don't understand.
That'll put a shadow over your early years
