I will try at many different places. I have a little left over from what I saved up for the summer, but I want to give most of it to your mother for letting me stay here. And the rest is probably going to go for Joe's ticket.
[Speaking of Joe's ticket. He turned to eye the other boy, frowning a little. For a moment he considered being upset that they'd go behind his back like that, but in the end he just sighed and nodded.]
I'm still going to give him my share. I would be mad...but I can admit that it will be good to see him that soon.
[Something in his chest loosened and he ran his hands through his hair to soothe himself a bit before he hauled one of those overstuffed duffles up onto the bed. Most of it was clothes, but packed in between articles of clothing were his books. Padded like that, there was nothing sharp to bang into his hips when he walked. It also kept them from getting beat up on the train. None of them were anything like some of the ones that Booker had, but he took care of his collections.]
