Knox and Charlie walked inside the Chemistry classroom as the teacher who stood in front of the class began talking about Chemistry and whatever else happens.
Charlie never paid attention and just relied on his friends notes and study group.
He found listening to his friends talk about the subjects was better then listening to a boring teacher.
"Charlie Dalton." The teacher shouted causing Charlie to sit up.
"Yes sir?" He said clearing his throat.
"I asked a question, please answer." The teacher said as Charlie nervously looked at him. "That's a demerit Dalton, pay attention."
"Sorry sir." Charlie mumbled sulking on his chair looking at the teacher ramble.
Chemistry ended as Charlie ran out the classroom and into Trig where he sat near a window. He angrily took out his textbook and a piece of paper.
The class began to fill up as Knox sat next to Charlie, "You alright?" Knox asked and Charlie shrugged not wanting to talk.
The professor began his lesson, which Charlie paid no attention to.
Trig ended with the announcement of the test for next class. Charlie once again stood up and angrily left the classroom.
He entered the Latin classroom, then the history classroom, and lastly English.
Mr. Keating was a great teacher, sometimes Charlie wished all his professors were like him.
Knox sat in front of Charlie near the window they sat. Neil sat in front and Todd to his side, Meeks and Pitts sat in the second row, Pitts behind Meeks and Meeks behind Cameron.
"Feeling better?" Knox asked and once again Charlie just shrugged. "I can teach you Trig and Chem, I know they are boring subjects."
"Thanks Knox, I wish I could burn this whole place down." Charlie mumbled.
"Should I be worried?" Knox joked.
"Very worried Knoxie, you should be very worried." Charlie winked.
Class ended as they walked out holding their books. Neil and Todd had stayed behind.
"I can't believe it! Girls are coming tomorrow!" Meeks smiled.
"Oh shut up about the girls Meeks." Charlie scoffed speed walking away from them.
"What's his deal?" Pitts scoffed watching Charlie walk away.
"Stress?" Knox questioned shrugging.
"He can be insufferable sometimes." Meeks said shaking his head.
"Hey! We all have our down days." Knox defended.
"Yeah, but all his days are bad days." Pitts chimed causing Knox to scoff.
"Meeks, Pitts, give him time. He hasn't been having good luck." Knox walked away as Pitts and Meeks continued to complain about Charlie's outbursts.

Knox knock on Charlie's bedroom door, "What!" He heard Charlie shout.
"It's Knox, open up!" Knox shouted, Charlie took a while to open the door for Knox.
"What?" Charlie said rolling his eyes allowing Knox to enter the bedroom.
"Just worried, also remember. Chem and trig? Gotta help you." He smiled as Charlie groaned and flopped onto his bed. "It's not too bad Charlie!"
"Not too bad? It's terrible! How am I going to survive this?!" Charlie complained.
"Get up you big baby, let's go to the library, everyones outside we'll be able to get through half the chapter." Knox smiled, Charlie reluctantly went with Knox.
Inside the Library Knox grabbed a Chem textbook and a Trig textbook laying them in front of Charlie.
"Okay, we'll begin with this, we can work on the project tomorrow." Knox explained going closer to Charlie showing him the book.
Charlie's face went red when Knox's arm touched his for a second.
"Do you get it?" Knox asked snapping Charlie back to reality.
"Huh?" Charlie said causing Knox to laugh.
"I take that as a no, I'll explain again, pay attention."
Charlie tried so hard, but anytime Knox got closer to him Charlie would panic.
"I have to go." Charlie said getting up and grabbing his book bag.
"Charlie? Where are you going?" Knox asked watching Charlie run off.
Charlie went up to his dorm and locked himself in.
"I'm an idiot." He mumbled flopping on his bed. Maybe he'll skip dinner, just for today.
