What was with that kid crying and such?


I never understood the part about Joshua's nemesis crying. I never got why he was. My guess is that i missed something but who knows.

He was crying because he had to leave the school because his parents didn't have enough money to keep him there. It's a pride thing... it'd be pretty embarrassing to be dragged out in front of everyone and everyone knows that you're leaving because you're poor...

Freddy was a hard guy and couldn't handle that Joshua was cordially wishing him all the best. Screwed up his self-image as being hateful.

Yep, how sad it is.
