The Sweetest Treat
[quote]Lowering his eyes back from the golden sky, Virgil listens to her with an easy but tired smile on his face. You've got a lot of homework to do, his brain forcefully remembers him, with only serves to make his entire body feel heavier than usual. He controls a sigh, not wanting the girl to think he's tired of her company or anything like that.
"Yeah, it'll be nice to see you again soon," Virgil replies, with a simple nod, trying to think what they should do the next time they got together. There isn't a lot of time left before winter break, so he hopes it's something fun. Perhaps, a snowball fight at the Ground if the chilly weather is to be considered a strong indicator of the soon arrival of snowy days.
Still a little too awkward and stiff to try and give her a goodbye hug, he instead opts for a quick wave and another one of those short bows he's learned from his father's strict Asian upbringing, smiling brighter this time, "I'll see you around, Addie!"
After that, he turns around and walks faster than necessary in the directions of the many stairs, without giving a second look back.
