Surprise Attack (Part1)

Nila sat down on a chair that had been placed in the room while Leo sat across from her on the bed.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Leo asked. Nila looked Leo directly in the eyes "You're very different from other people our age. You act more mature and cool headed than most and I wanted to ask you why. How are you so different? The only reasonable explanation I could think of was that you lived a bad life until now, that's the most probable reason , so what happened to you?"

Leo's eyes widened in surprise as he pondered how he should answer. 'Should I just tell her? It's not a big deal if people know, I just don't want them to treat me differently. I could be more vague about it, just giving her a hint should be enough. Agh, I don't know.' Leo was flustered, he hadn't had anyone outright ask him about his past apart from when he was arrested.
