Family Found (смешанная)

An incident in class one morning leaves Tony with the urge to get up and punch his teacher. Instead, he gets up and walks out of school.
That's when he meets Ho Yinsin and Abraham Erskine. Erskine runs a coffee counter out of Yinsin's bookstore, and the men allow Tony to take refuge there when he needs to escape school or his family. It isn't long before that refuge turns into Tony's home, and those men become his family. Tony gets a taste of the good life, and he's determined to keep his new place and his new people for as long as they'll have him.
Nothing is ever so simple, however. Finding a safe place didn't make Tony's problems go away, and maintaining a safe place means doing what he can to keep his father and his bullies away from his new home.
AKA, my take on the high school/coffee shop trope.
