Disguised Amongst Mortals
Mo might be the smartest person in the school, including the teachers. He's won countless medals in robotics, ribbons in math competitions, and even gave a speech at the White House, apparently. That one might be a rumor.
You stick by him because you — and everyone else — knows that he might have a brilliant mind, but he has zero social skills. And who a better person to help him out than you?
Granted, he's your only friend, but still. You like him, and he likes you. It's a weird friendship, but it works.
It doesn't help that he gets bullied, which means that you get bullied by association, but he doesn't seem to mind.
He gives you a soft smile. "Good morning. How was your weekend?"
