If he were happy, there would be something very, very wrong with him.
He settled himself onto one of the swings and moved back and forth ever so slightly. Today wasn't a day for slides or monkey bars or cool obstacles. Naw. Today was for wallowing in guilt and depression.
Frowny face...
Cornelius wasn't particularly planning on going to the Playground that day, he was just taking a walk through the grounds. It was finally nice out! And besides, Cornelius loved the outdoors. And somehow he had ended up walking past the Playground; it was sort of in the middle of anything anyway. And that was when he saw Paulie. PAULIE! He thought it and said it in the next second,
"PAULIE!"
Grinning, he started towards the slightly older boy, only to find him in a less than joyous state. Which...never happened. Ever, since he had met him. Never had Cornelius found Paulie in a foul mood. Not a truly foul mood, anyway. And right then, he clearly was. His smile fell just slightly as he approached the swings, stopping a few feet before them and tilting his head at the Head Boy.
"You alright?"
