Sawyer sat in the very back of the room, he was intent on seeing Illyana here since she was his TA. He sighed and wrote down what the assignment was, bugger.


I've manipulated tons of people, I can't even count anymore since I've done it from the age of 8. My Pa' committed suicide on my bed after killing my Ma'; he found out that a con-man named Sawyer had an affair with my Ma' and she gave him all our money.

I guess, it's in my blood now. I'm part of Sawyer now, can't deny that I haven't conned my way to get what I want. I remember conning a nurse into letting me have a $20, convincing her that my name was Teddy and I needed to feed my younger brother Markus. She took the bait and I got that damn $20.

Sooner or later that $20 turned into $20,000 as I conned my way up to the Government branches and just below. I know, only 17 but I've passed myself off as a Airline Pilot, Train Assistant, Cabbie, White House Employee and other things. I'm good, I can say, really am.

Too bad Pa' isn't here or he'd slap me a big ol' knob on my head for doing all this. I ain't conning no more since I really like this school system, it's comforting (and Illyana and I are..well, working that out.).

I think I rambled enough, Professor, thanks.


James reads over it again and lays his head on the wall behind him, watching the rest of the room buzz about as people discuss their small essays.
