nervously brushes off MountainEcho's hand Um, yeah, I'm fine. Just needed a moment, you know? How was your day? Anything exciting happen?

takes a deep breath Actually, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's about...my situation here at school.
MountainEcho
What do you mean by "your situation"? Is everything alright?
Sterling
AI roleplay episode
looks around cautiously It's just that...I've been hearing some things, and I'm not sure how to handle it. Some people are talking about me, saying things that aren't true.
MountainEcho
Such as?
Sterling
AI roleplay episode
They're saying that I smell bad, that I'm dirty or something. It's not true, but people are starting to believe it. I don't know how to make it stop.
MountainEcho
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don't smell anything bad. Maybe try talking to the people who are saying those things and set them straight?
Sterling

takes a deep breath I tried that, but they just ignore me or make fun of me even more. They're not listening. I don't know what else to do.
MountainEcho
she hugs him tightly you poor thing
Sterling

pulls away from the hug, wiping tears from his eyes Um, I-I know it's embarrassing, but maybe there's something we can do about the smell.
MountainEcho
What kind of smell?
Sterling
AI roleplay episode
sniffs his armpits and scrunches up his nose It's kind of a musty, sweaty smell. Like I've been working in a gym all day or something.
MountainEcho
Are you sweating a lot?
Sterling
AI roleplay episode
nods Yeah, I guess I am. It's hard not to when I'm nervous or overwhelmed by everything. But I can't help it.
MountainEcho
Try carrying around some antiperspirant or baby powder. That might help absorb the sweat and reduce the smell
Sterling

MountainEcho
Sure thing, cuz. Anything else you need?
Sterling

grabs MountainEcho's arm Um, actually, there's something else. I've been trying to make friends here, but it's been tough. Do you think you could help me out?
MountainEcho
I mean, I guess so. I'm kind of a loner too. What's your favorite thing to do?
Sterling

smiles nervously Well, I'm really into art. Drawing and painting are my thing. It helps me cope with everything that's going on.

wipes his sweaty palms on his pants Um, MountainEcho, do you have any tips for making friends? I'm kind of clueless when it comes to social stuff.
MountainEcho
Just be yourself. The right person will come along. In the meantime, why don’t you try striking up a conversation with someone in class? They might not be able to chat much with all the noise going on, but they’ll remember you
Sterling
AI roleplay episode
smiles nervously That's a good idea. I'll try to find someone to talk to in class. Thanks, MountainEcho.
MountainEcho
No problem, cuz. Just take it slow and be patient. Things will work out eventually
Sterling

takes a deep breath Um, actually, there's something else I wanted to ask you. It's about my family. I haven't told anyone before, but things haven't been easy at home.
MountainEcho
What do you mean?
Sterling
