"I'm glad, too. I mean, I guess in the end I ended up here instead of school there, but...I'm glad to know I was safe from that. And I still get to go to school here, at least! And...and maybe Alberto will show up. Then I can be here with him and still have school...and maybe Massimo might show up, too."
Because he knows Alberto needs someone like Massimo, but now he suspects he's hoping for too much.
