Good god, could lectures be more boring?

I was sitting in my second class; Ornithology. I don't even know why I signed up, but I did.

I guess the girl asked me while I was passing by her booth in the college auditorium. She kinda yelled: "Hey! You look like you'd be interested!" I tried to pretend that she wasn't talking to me, but she persisted. "You! Do you want to sign up for an elective class for ornithology? We still have a few spots left in the second semester!" I turned around and became pink with embarrassment. I don't talk to people because I think it's just a waste of my time. So when someone you don't know yells at you from across the room you kinda flip your shit. What was I supposed to say? I never took a class on rejection...

I accepted. Goddammit, why'd I do that? I don't give a flying fuck about birds. But here I am, sat in the prestigious school of business, listening to a lecture about birds.

Hours later I'm back in my condominium with my brother Shiro. He's not biologically my brother, but we've known each other for a while.
Shiro's the only person I'll willingly talk to without a need to. He's taught me some pretty important people skills, but I still can't seem to use them when a time of need occurs.

-------------------------------

"Keith! You have an important document due tomorrow at work, right?" Shiro yells at me from across the house.
"Sadly, yes. But I've finished it so I'm fine... thanks." I replied. I still can't do the 'thank yous' properly. They just don't feel right whenever I use them.

You may think I have issues, but I really just don't enjoy conversation. I tend to enjoy having a good book in hand more. I will talk when it's necessary, like when a coworker asks a question or I'm applying for a job. But otherwise, I steer clear of talkative people.

"KEITH KOGANE! Finish your essay! It does NOT look done on this shared doc."
"S-sorry Shiro... I'm working on it now. You don't need to be such a dad, y'know."

Yo! Stay tuned my dudes! I'm pre-writing some of my fist chapters so I'll have things to post.  If one of you wants to draw tomatoes or something for my cover... I'd be happy to use them?

AGHHH sorry for such a short chapter too.
