Caleb Became More Quiet
The principal informed Noa that his kid had been extremely quiet lately. It appeared as though he was not even in school because his thoughts seemed to be elsewhere. He only became animated when someone approached his backpack, when he would tell them to mind their own business.
There was even more that Noa wasn’t aware of. Caleb was just dismissed from one of his classes for failing to pay attention. While the teacher felt bad for him, he had to expel Caleb to teach him a lesson. Noa knew that he had to ask Caleb’s classmates about his recent behavior.
