He looked upset about it."You know you're the only person ...ere who understands me."His look told me he had no idea what I was talking about."You know how hard it is."He half nodded, but looked even more confused."I left behind so much in California, and it was equal if not greater to the pain I felt when I left France at the end of freshman year.
