Tears (3)

"Hey, look who's back," Alexander said when he, Lily, and Sarah went to visit him the next day. "It is the guy who acts like he has a big brain when he clearly doesn't have one."

Edward, Billy's parents, and the others decided to go home as soon as they finished breakfast, so they missed their chance of saying goodbye to the others. Still, it wasn't like that was a permanent farewell. Rather than that, Billy felt like kicking the balls of his friends who was trying to be funny and snarky. Still, resorting to violence wouldn't prove his point, so Billy decided to do something else. Some thing else more befitting of an adult...

"You know… sarcasm isn't anywhere close to a form of witticism," Billy said. "Besides, you should feel thankful that I solved a big problem instead of forcing you guys to come with me at such an important moment in your lives."

"I never said I wasn't thankful for the concern, though," Alexander said.
