Jealous

Tad has entered his full-on teenage era when it comes to feeling. He sped right through the childhood. What does that mean?

He's far less patient at times he would have previously been patient (when he's awake). He gets frustrated when he feels like he doesn't know something (or someone) he should. He can only take so much of someone he is with giving attention to someone else. Like Ember. Or Lollylou Leillough. This jealous feeling is amplified when he feels a specific type of affinity with the person. Ken. Saini. Jo. 

Tessa. 

Today was the first time he recognized Tessa when he saw her. It's likely because he recognized Sneaky as well (for the second time today, though Tad is calling him Jason out of a little teenage spite). But then he promptly forgot her again. So like, I guess.

That incident mixed with the conversation he had with Ken and Ian about Lollylou made him very curious about CR after he crashed his bike and hit his head. So he texted CR herself. Just asking what it stands for. She actually answered and all in lowercase letters, which likely means something is wrong. Both in that she answered and in the way she typed. But Tad with his slightly scrambled brain thought it sounded believable that CR stands for "can't remember." So that's where it ended. Tad when he wakes up in the morning might have a bit more trouble with that answer, but likely won't text again to tell her she's wrong.

Tad will need to roll for a head injury tomorrow. He did not go to the hospital.
