Ollivander tapped his desk. His stream had twenty seconds left until the next morning. Luigi sat there, staring at his laptop screen, waiting until the timer went off. Ollivander had set it up in hopes that he would get some birthday wishes.
"Ten...nine...eight..."
Luigi started typing in the comments section. "Hey, bestie! I wanted to wish you a happy-"
Ollivander walked off the camera. The timer went off and not a comment. Luigi sighed and closed his laptop.
"Happy birthday, Ollie."
Ollivander sat down at his table. "Why do people treat me like an infection?"
"What do you mean?"
"They only interact with me to make things worse. Like scratching a mosquito bite."
"I don't think you're a mosquito bite."
Ollivander looked up at who was talking to him. Rosalina sat down on the seat across from him.
"Rosie, I wouldn't sit there if I were you."
"Why not?"
"If they see you hanging out with me, they'll just treat you like trash like they do to Luigi and I!" Ollivander exclaimed. "You're new here. I want you to have a chance with other people."
"Why do they treat you like "trash"?" Rosalina questioned.
"Because I skipped the first three years at this school."
"Huh?"
"I'm "Too smart for my age" as everyone tells me." Ollivander sighed. "Except for Luigi. Everyone calls me a "Nerd" or a "Teacher's pet"! It drives me insane."
"Sounds rude."
"Even the teacher's think I'm weird."
"Oof."
"But I'll show them! One day I'll do something really great, and they'll all apologize for what they said!"
