Is it just me, or am I actually feeling that nothing I ever do will be good enough for anyone? That no one cares about my best? That-
"What are you doing here?'
Oh, nothing, just monologuing.
"To whom?"
To the reader, that's all.
"And what about me?"
You're a character. I won't tell you if you exist or not.
"This is awkward. I need a moment."
Anyways, stories are not my forte, I prefer mathematics. But if any of you want to help me, go ahead. I can't help you at all, so it's up to you.
"Alex, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to work on your project!"
It's already done, I just didn't tell you.
"Still, this doesn't answer my question. What are you doing in the closet?"
Quincy will tell you what I said. I won't bother explaining why.
"Okay then. I will have to keep an eye on you now because something's not right regarding what you were doing."
I'm fine with that.
At least I can finally be-
"Pizza delivery!"
You're supposed to ring the doorbell first. Why did you come here?
"To deliver your pizza. With extra pineapple."
Thanks for the pizza, but why did you come in the closet?
"I heard someone inside."
You didn't knock?
"No, because I wanted to know if you're really okay."
That's a dumb move, but thanks anyway.
"Oh, and I heard from Quincy that you were monologuing to someone."
It's nothing, I swear!
"Anyways, I have to deliver pizza to someone else now. Bye!"
I hope this will be the last person to-
"Brother, can you please help us with our homework?"
Sure. I'll be there in a minute.
"Thanks!"
I have to go now. I can't really talk more about what I want to say because someone needs me. See you next time.

(Note: My real-life name is not Alex.)

that's what an alex would say

That's my theoretical character, sanchez. You're half-right though, I'm planning to change my first name to Alex.
