"Let's move before he sees us!" Don suggested, and they did so.
"Why did he have be here?" Charlie sighed, worried that his friend would ruin everything.

"I CAN'T!" Charlie insisted, his voice was loud enough to be a borderline yell. All of his issues, and inability to cope could be summed up in what he had just said.The only person who understood him, could be dying, and he just couldn't cope with that.
"Do you think that this is easy for me?" Don yelled "Seeing mom like that? Grow up and and face reality!"
"I'm in the middle of an important line of thought!" Charlie started to write on the chalk board.

Charlie, when Monday came, started to dig to see who could possibly have been his biological father's informant. In the hallways of the math department, he overheard an interesting conversation.
"You won't believe it! I heard Zeal talk to David Lev, over the phone!" The TA liked art.
"The artist?"
"Yeah"
Quickly, he went to the office of the math department head, and came in without even knocking.
"Charles?" Greg tried to be patient, but he had been in the middle of talking to a student.
"We need to talk."
