As Iyo dragged him toward what he hoped would be the Engineering class, Jack chewed idly on a surprisingly good Egg Salad Sandwich, and wondered if the rather ambiguous figure beside him realised how embarrassed he'd be making anyone else - certainly they were drawing a couple of looks. Jack kept right on eating. He wouldn't have others look down on him - he knew how much pain he'd caused, he knew how little he was worth. He didn't need someone else reinforcing that.

I was gonna leave school and find work since I couldn't afford to pay my way past fourth year, but I...found a brochure for this place one day, and I managed to get a scholarship."[/b]. As a rule, Jack didn't talk about his parents or his past with anyone other true friends - and he'd only ever had one of those. Nor did he feel like he should bandy the information that he was searching for a mysterious benefactor around the place.
