It’s safe to say that Quinton’s not entirely fond of his new foster family, they’re strict, always wanting to be around each other, and just plain odd in Quinton’s eyes. Being that he’s thirteen now, he does, however, have a bit of leeway, as they seemingly “trust him” as they put it, and as long as he doesn’t do anything to break said trust, he’s allowed to stay out for a bit after school, and not return home immediately. Though being as he has few friends, there’s really no need for him to stay out.
He’d rather do quite literally anything else than sit around at their home and have them quietly stare at him as he works on his homework. Which is why he’s found a little diner placed directly on his walk home to hide out in for a little while. Cool air, and generally friendly people, is a-okay with him as long as they’re not his new, annoyingly forced, family. He didn’t really take into consideration that it would rude of him not to order something until the waitress comes by asking, though. ❝ O-oh, um.. J-just a sh-shake, pl-please. Sur-surprise me w-with wh-whatever fl-flavor y-you w-want. ❞ He supposes the allowance they’ve started rewarding him with could spare a couple dollars.
