fell upon Levi,a boy to whom he'd had a brief aquaintanceship.

Though on the train, Christopher was positive the older boy had tried to break his fingers clean off. He wasn't really sure why though. Perhaps he was just a bit down about leaving school, and now was happier that they had all returned. There was only one way to find out!

Christopher slipped away from the large group he wasn't fitting in with, and took the vacant seat next to Levi. Getting away from all those people felt nice, like he could finally breathe properly. He turned casually to Levi, smiling. "Hey! I saw you sitting alone, and I thought I might drop in and say hello, if that's alright!" While he waited for permission to remain seated, the thirteen year old suddenly realized he had no clue what to say next, so he just went with the usual chatter. "Did you have a nice summer?"

Startled, Levi glanced up and tried to mask his look of displeasure when the younger boy occupied a seat next to him. He wanted to groan, but he did so mentally. He was hoping somebody else was going to sit there before Christopher did. Perhaps a girl or maybe a new person he could befriend. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with this kid. He was tempted to inch away as a means to give himself space but he wasn't that rude.

What was even more surprising was how nice the shorter kid was treating him as well. He figured he would have tried to call him out for what happened on the train ride home last semester. The proffered handshake had almost resulted in Levi snapping one of his fingers in a fit of irritation. No matter what the circumstance was, the kid always seemed to appear at wrong and unwanted times.

He nodded at Christopher, quickly shoving a piece of bread in his mouth so he wouldn't have to say hi or smile at him. He didn't have the energy to feign cheerfulness at this time of the day. He was trying to mend his relationship with Cass and on the train, he had confessed to her about his not-so satisfactory home life, as evidenced by the new scar running down the side of his face. She hadn't even seen the bruises on his arms but he wouldn't subject her to that despondency. She already knew everything about him but Christopher had no clue...about anything. Why was he trying to be his friend? What was the point?

"Fine," the fourth year mumbled in response. When reality, his summer sucked. "Yours?"
