#he can swallow his pride i'm exaggerating because i think it's funny. that said

the other fundamental flaw with alec goes to winslow is the assumption that alec could be even remotely cool about having to attend school and then having Children From Normal Society attempt to interact with him or god forbid hold any level of social authority over him. and that's not even talking about the teachers. he would snap so fast he'd think he was entirely calm but he would not make it through lunch without surreptitiously tripping anyone and everyone who annoyed him. like he would hear people talking about going to see a movie with their family that weekend or deciding to get ice cream together after school and it would turn him into the joker. he would find the emmas of the world funny for all of three seconds but one too many incidents of someone shoving him in the hall and he would reflexively trip them into the nearest locker (no power needed), slam their head in the door, say "whoops," really sarcastically, and then say "whoops" significantly more genuinely when he realizes they're bleeding profusely. That Boy Is Not Half As Chill As He Thinks He Is
