It was cos he was a boy, of course. And he KNEW that the other kid's name wasn't Flake. It was Flynn, he had known all along, course.

"I'm Garret," he said, shyly at first and then realizing how stupid he'd sounded, he went on in a tougher voice, which better suited his manly stature (ooc: as if), "I figured this ain't normal, considerin' all the noise everyone's makin'."

He rolled his eyes, "Who cares if we can't sit with the girls? All the better I say! Now c'mon! I'm hungry!" he called this last bit out to the people still faffing around on the platform.
