Lost in the courtyard

"I....I......I am so lost." Nekolis sighed, his new backpack digging into his thin shoulders. He glanced about, looking around at his surroundings. This school was all so new to him, unfamiliar. He took a nervous breath and walked a little bit farther into the courtyard. He turned to look over his shoulder, hoping to see his twin smiling at him, then dragging him along. Not today.....now, for the first time since he could remember, he was alone. "Ah........" he whined slumping to the ground. "Help....."

A small sad smile formed on his face. He shook his head and tried to blink back a tear. No, he could not cry. He had to be strong...or at least try his best to.
