Frankie sighed, knowing his Mum was going to talk to the conductor to make sure he'd 'drive safely'... it's on bloody tracks! He smiled afterward though, knowing she meant well and perhaps the conversation may be about something different.
He turned his attention to his sister and shook his head. "I know... usually she's crying on the way here, or watching me pack up." Frankie's face scrunched up at the mention of his Mum being 'that' overprotective. "Somehow I doubt that." he said, not one hundred percent sure, but, he still doubted it.
Frankie saw his mum coming back, looking over his shoulder. "Well, I guess this is it... I'll have to find a compartment." Sighing again, he confided in Minnie before their Mum was back. "It's gonna be wierd having Da as the Headmaster though... as if it wasn't wierd enough to be in his classes." But he comforted himself knowing he'd be able to find Alex on the train and maybe see what could be done about making this year a little more bearable.
