The Lonely One

So, as I sit here in the library attempting to fully learn HTML5 markup, I stare out the window and notice a few things. The first of these things is a large group of football players getting ready for practice, all standing around the equipment room getting ready. The only exception to this is one standalone kid, pacing some 5 meters away from the group. I spectate him attempting to discover what exactly is passing through his mind. What could it be? As I watch he simply paces back and fourth, 5 or 6 steps each time, stopping occasionally to scratch his head or wipe his nose with the back side of his hand. What could he possibly be thinking? Why is he alone? I notice a very particular habit in his pacing, once ever 2 turns he pulls his shirt down. Now why would he be doing this? After some amount of spectating, one of the football players calls out his name, and for a brief moment is solitary face grows bright with a smile. They converse for not longer than 3 seconds, all the while he does not once pull down on his shirt, scratch his head, or wipe his nose, he follows the conversation and chases it as long as he can, until the football player quickly retreats to the rest of his football buddies. The boy goes slack, dropping his shoulders and reducing the glow in his cheeks, he pulls his shirt down once again and returns to pacing. Some time later all of the football players have gotten changed out into their jocks and the rest of their gear, and the boy goes off to his car to get something. He returns with a bag of football gear, enters the room alone, and the fat little lonely boy changes out for practice all on his own.
