After Emily started asking me to kick him out because he was being rude and vulgar again, I sat calmly next to him and tried to reason with him to appeal to his better nature. He sulkily contradicted me at every turn, but at least we were actually having a two-way conversation. He seemed a little less act-out-ish after that. (Although at one point I heard him deny that he had been crying, and declare, "The only thing I feel is anger.") After class, as everyone was filing out, I turned around from erasing the board to feel/see him standing there, just kinda half staring at me. Are you all right? I asked. Yeah. Kinda. I guess so... [pause]... Why? Because... I was just wondering... you were just standing there. And he walked away. I feel like I missed something there, maybe something important.
