    me expectantly. I closed my eyes and shook my head. “Nothing?” he asked, almost pleading. “Nothing.” “Well, at least it isn’t for someone else,” he joked. Somehow, we had started walking again. A bunch of ducks landed noisily in the pond and started quacking, distracting us for a minute. I almost smiled at their innocent exuberance. “You’re taking this awfully well,” I observed. The gravel crunched under our shoes, and a gnat bit my arm. I swiped it away and rubbed the itching spot. “It’s because it hasn’t really sunk in yet,” he replied. “Just wait until it does. Then I’ll find a secluded spot where nobody can see or hear manly me bawl his eyes out. After that, I’m going to go into town and get pissed enough so I don’t remember my own name, and the day after I’m going to be so hungover that I can blame every miserable moment on the drinking.” “Jake!” I protested, coming to a halt. “What?” He stopped a few feet away, but his eyes never left the ground. “That won’t make it better.” The tip of his shoe painted a circle in the gravel. “But it’ll make it different, at least.” I thought I glimpsed a tear.

But what I needed was solitude, and I wasn’t getting that in our room, which had been turned into Central Nerdistan. So I found myself increasingly often hiding myself away in the remote corner of the library’s reading room. At first, it was only to do my homework in silence, but lately, it had become my second home. Mrs. Henderson even turned a blind eye when I dug a sandwich or drink out of my bag, and when nobody else was there, she sometimes sat down with me and we made small talk. I loved these talks. She was educated and quick-witted, and when I had had a bad day with my lectures, she always managed to cheer me up and find something to compliment me for.
