Swagger: A +

"I don't try to be fake, and my confidence isn't taken for arrogance. I just don't care what everybody else is wearing or who's the trendsetter in style. And I don't care if gossip sites are like, ‘What is he wearing?' I try to go past that boundary and do my own thing.”

Homework: [None required]—As told to Katie Hintz
