There was a reason there were rumours about the invisible boy. Basil had accidentally on purpose 'walked in on' a lot of behavior around campus that was embarrassing, illegal, or otherwise considered private business. He knew the places these things happened consistently, he just wasn't the sort to tattle on people, and in return he hoped they'd stop spreading rumours about him being a voyeur. Basil had infinite , very empty hopes like that.
So when Basil left Colette to look after her room mate in the infirm due to the nasty business of today, he knew exactly where he was heading to find what he thought he needed right now (being that his other vices were ill timed and not an option at the moment.)
Marching around the back of the stables, he found the usual group of kids smoking.
"I need one." He stated, more demanding than asking.
"Fuck you rich kid." The only one holding a pack stated. "Gimme a dollar."
"I... Don't have a dol- have you realized yet you're in my country, I'm not in yours?!"
That really didn't seem to get him anywhere, as the unruly youth looked away to go back to talking to her friends. Begrudgingly he dug into his pocket and found the lowest denomination of bill in his pocket, a twenty pound note. He shoved it at her rather violently.
"Give. Lighter too."
She looked at it for a second and knowing her pack and cheapo lighter were nearly empty anyways, was happy to trade.
"Pleasure doing business with you." She replied, and motioned for her friends that they should leave.
Basil was left alone now to brood and smoke the first cigarette he'd had in nearly six months.
He moved to the side of the barn where he can see comings and goings out of the medical buildings, sat down in the grass, and lit up.
So much for on the wagon.
