Elijah was, categorically, not the smartest of men, but what he lacked in the brain capacity areas, he made up for in the generally nice guy areas. And also the muscle ones. He prided himself on his strength, being an athlete of sorts. A football player for the school team, and generally the reason said team has any chance of winning any of their matches. There was a certain pull to him, you had to admit. You could see why all the girls in your class fawned over him like he was some kind of godsend. Hypothetically, you could be into him. Hypothetically. As a matter of fact, no one quite knows what Elijah himself happens to be into. Men? Women? Trees? People in his and your classes spend about half the lesson theorizing over whether he swung left or right, though someone has yet to just ask him. Well, it's not like you're going to either. Hypothesising is kind of enjoyable.
