He'd be punished, and he was terrified of being punished. What if they sent a letter home? What if they yelled at him? He wasn't taking any chances.

The reason he was by this secret passage(that he really didn't know about) was because he tripped over something. Not only did he trip, he managed to fall right in front of an older student and land a bit on their feet. "Sorry..." he apologized, scared and still sprawled on the floor. "My bad. Sorry." Please don't yell at him. Sorry.

Sorry.
Phoenix was normally fairly observant, noticing things around him that many people might not pay much attention to, but today was one of those times that he was fully engrossed in what he was doing. That tended to happen when he was doing something he was really interested in like the gobstones strategies he was working out. And being that he was fully engrossed, he didn't notice the younger boy until he was sprawled across the floor in front of him.

Phoenix looked up suddenly, slightly startled by the noise and sudden appearance. "Oh.. it's alright," he said to the boy apologizing. No harm, no foul. He hadn't tripped over Phoenix's feet, had he? He pulled in his outstretched legs subconsciously. "Are you okay?"
