Blended well into the background was Micah Hobbes, his left hand fumbling at his backpack strap--a sign obvious to none but himself that the excitement of arriving at his new school, the awe when walking through grandeur hallways and past others with elegant clothing and manners, the plain joy of being there, on his first day of high school! and in his favorite outfit! of a button-down, dark blue shirt, neatly ironed khaki pants, and a smart-looking backpack, were stealthily diluted by tinges of drowsiness and nervousness that followed.
