The steps are cold against Julian's bottom as he sits in front of the school, wondering if he should go back inside the library or not.

No one noticed him leave the library, and Vernon was off somewhere, so he went out the front door. Now he sits, wondering how big of a deal he is.

No one really cares for him, he has no friends, and his parents want a 'respectable' child. His lip gets stuck between his teeth, fingers feeling the fabric of his hoodie in his hands.

Another minute passes before he gets up, deciding to walk home as cars start to drive up. He throws his hoodie on, placing the hood on his head, walking quickly away from the school as he hears the front door open loudly.
