//02// [action//quad] [backdated a week or so because of my memory]
[One walking through the quad this fine day might notice a small teenage boy sitting under a tree with a textbook on his lap. Which really isn't different from any other day, given the nature of the quad, but this particular boy is out of the ordinary because
1) he looks like he's about to cry, and
2) he hasn't turned the page of his textbook for about twenty minutes.
Not that he's going to start crying all over anyone who happens to be near. But having the person he's been living with for the past year and a half, who taught him not to be an indifferent little brat, disappear really puts a damper on his mood. Also, he doesn't really understand his English textbook.]
