My face was covered in red blush, thankfully, my mask hid it all. I don't mind people seeing me blush, but I didn't want to be questioned. Everyone introduced themselves and I memorized their names quickly. It was a skill my father taught me for protection. My stomach got a nauseous and guilty feeling to it just remembering leaving my dad and sister. They must be worried sick about me by now...but I did leave a note saying why I left. My heart was wild and you can't control and contain a wild spirit, it isn't right. Something touched my shoulder in an assuring manner. I fixed my focus on one of the guys looking at me, this one was Nogla. He seemed very nice and funny to my eyes, but the others usually messed around with him and called him dumb. In that case, I really didn't mind but only until Nogla told me that he's used to it. "Oh! Yes Nogla??" I said snapping back into reality. "Just checkin if you're okay, Jon..! I can tell you and me are gonna be friends by the way you doze off into space." he said with an assuring smile. I smiled and said, "So, you guys all have nicknames..correct??" Everyone nodded with a yes or a yeah. I pondered to myself for a second and said, "My nickname is...Delirious!" I always felt good about myself being called delirious, so why not make my nickname what I am the most? "Delirious...huh, it suits you well enough! Welcome home, Delirious!" Moo said. He was right. This is my home. This is where I'm ment to belong. This is my family.
