Chris continued to watch Jamie quite closely, frowning when he referred to himself as stupid. "You know Albert Einstein was considered slow by all his teachers when in actual fact he just thought differently from everybody else." It was saddening to see a teenager so despondent and down on themselves, made him wondered what was the root cause for it.
"Why did you automatically jump to stupid?" Chris asked in no way judging Jamie. "You don't come across as stupid. Are particular subjects more challenging than others?" If so, he could probably arrange a tutor.
An interesting thing about Chris was he never took notes during his sessions, he recalled them later and wrote everything down in great detail.
