It sucks for him because he was so close to graduating before his death but he of course died. He was going to go to college but at least he knew what he was signing up for, now he's forced to learn something from the very beginning in a new body much to his discomfort.

'Ugh I didn't think the person would actually stab me...'

He thought back on how scared the person was himself and how his hands shook when he stabbed him. But maybe he misinterpreted the shakiness with hesitation or anger, because could still remember the flash of relief in their dark eyes. The eyes were only visible much to his frustration, the rest seemingly blurry for some reason. But he was already dead so he didn't bother to dwell on who his murder was.

But the good thing is that he was above the 4.0 GPA student who did a bunch of AP classes. It was literal hell for him but he made it through somehow... So he deemed that he could always incorporate his pervious knowledge in whatever this college is going to offer him.

Acton turned his head towards the noise, watching the doors open and servants filling the room with plates of food. He couldn't help but get a little jumpy at the thought of food. He blamed it because of all that damn walking he endured.

He watched servant after servant coming to the table to place the plates of food in front of the family. Acton quickly thanked the servants quietly only to get a surprise expression sent to him by them. "Young master, nobles do not thank servants, it makes the noble look weak-willed to trying to please someone beneath themselves." Alex whispered towards Acton ear, making the boy jump in his seat as he didn't know he was so close by.

Alex stared at him with amusement for a second till his eyes went blank again. He found his young master amusing but he didn't want it to get in the way of his mission given by Cade.

"Right..." Acton muttered with a bit of a shiver, turning back towards his plate, grabbing his fork in order to start eating, though much slower than when he ate during breakfast. "Now that I think about it, you're wearing shorts aren't you? I couldn't help but notice them and how adorable they look on you! Reminds me of the times I use to dress you up in my old dresses!" His mother gushed, laughing at Acton's small glare.

"Hmm. David is it possible to get Acton shorts for his school uniform?" She questioned with a tilt to her head, he seemed to ponder about it and nodded.

Acton slightly paled at the thought, not wanting to look girly and a bit childish, sticking out from the crowd. He was fine being a background character so he really didn't want to be anything but that. Maybe talk and support the characters but nothing major. Though he didn't mind straying from his role but he refused to stand out. It was complicated for Acton now that he thought about it but he didn't want to endanger his life anymore than it was now. Which wasn't much in danger now but still.

"Mom. I don't want to be mistaken as a kid or girl." He explained to her, his expression a bit cold though she seemed unbothered by it, giggling at his remark. He already looked a bit feminine and with his hair a bit longer than his liking, the back hair touching his nape, could make him pass off as a petite girl who wanted to look tougher than she was. "Even if you wore the normal uniform you would still look like a girl or a kid. Besides you look cute with shorts!" Acton groaned at his new mother's stubbornness, letting her win this fight for now seeing as she was possibly correct.

She clapped her hands in excitement and Acton could tell she was thinking about all the outfits she could buy him with her new money.

'I didn't know she dotted on Acton this much...'

After lunch the family went their separate ways, Acton walking towards his room with his butler following his trail. Alex was quick to open the door for Acton, as for him, he was walking straight to the couch.
