Primadonna Girl

"I’m sorry mom.." Cody said seeing how upset his mom looked. But he looked up at her curiously at the mention of homeschooling. "Honestly..I like that idea.  I just don’t seem to be good at making human friends." He said looking down. "Am I weird?"

The question came to Shego as a shock, more so because it reminded her once more just how much she understood what the kid was going through. Reaching over, she cupped the little boys chin and raised it so his eyes were level with hers. "People just don't know how to handle us. We're not the ones at fault--they are. Remember that always kid, mmkay?"

Mickey held on for a bit longer before finally letting go so he could put the food up on the table. “Ya kiddin’? Yer my family, course I missed ya! Any luck on findin’ a new job?  If ya want, I could help ya get a new job.”

Cody crossed his arms. “I was talking to the pet mice in the classroom, hoping maybe they had heard of my friends, and a few kids saw.  They won’t leave me alone now. Never even found out if they knew them.”

The older woman's head fell. This would be the fourth school she would switch Cody out of and it wasn't getting any easier.  It was hard to find a great school that would even accept the likes of anything remotely related to the ex-con. And she would never expect her little boy to hide his gift, no it wouldn't be right. Stirring her coffee slowly in the black mug, Shego bit down on her lip as she thought. "--how would you feel about being home schooled?"

Cody pouted up at Shego. “But Moooooom…” He whined, “I hate school, I’d rather be out there with you!”

"I don't want to hear it Cody. You are going to school." She looked across the island and frowned deeply. "--are you getting bullied again Cody?", she asked in a hushed voice.
