Alex shrugged. "He's my family too, and I know he's working hard. I also know he almost died because he was somewhere he shouldn't have been. And I don't care about antagonising my family. If it was up to me, I wouldn't even be here, in this noisy ginger crowd."
He worried the edge of his jumper with his fingers. "I suppose you can't understand it, just like I can't imagine growing up like you did. Or like rich people do. Or like girls do. It's how we're born and raised that help make us who we are, like it or not. I won't ever be able to think like you do, sir. I wasn't raised like you."
