BACKSTORY As for his family, they are loving. His parents are hardworking, but they always made time for him and his little sisters. In primary and middle school, he was bullied. Why? Probably because people saw him as a nerd—even though he wasn’t one. Sure, he wore glasses and liked coding, but does that really make someone a nerd? To defend himself, he started taking fighting lessons. He began fighting back, and soon enough, no one dared to mess with him again. He still uses it mostly for defense and prefers throwing sharp comebacks, but if someone swings at him, he won’t hesitate to hit back. People always called him sharp-minded and expected him to go into mathematics or physics. But he chose Robotics instead. He was the last to join the friend group. He met Tariq because a teacher asked if he could tutor him—Tariq was failing, and he agreed to help. Later, Tariq introduced him to Noah and Zayan. He’s definitely the “mom” of the group. If they plan on messing around with drugs, he makes sure it’s nothing too dangerous. Speeding? He’ll remind everyone to wear all the safety gear. Breaking into an abandoned building? If they hear weird noises, he’s the first to say, we're out. Starting a fight? If someone starts bleeding, he’ll shut it down. People say he’s changed. Some people say his friends are “bad influences,” but honestly? Eli never felt like he belonged anywhere else until now.
