"The case of Phineas Gage is one of the great medical curiosities of all times. Phineas was a railroad worker in 1848, and in a nightmarish accident, a large iron rod was driving completely through his head" Mr. Clarke explains to the class. "Phineas miraculously survived, he seemed fine. And physically, yes, he was, but his injury resulted in a complete change to his personality, so much, so that his friends that knew him, started referring to him as 'no longer Gage'. At the time, this was known as 'The Great American Crowbar Case', though it wasn't a crow-"
Mr. Clarke is interrupted by Dustin entering the classroom, panting heavily as he stumbles towards his desk.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Clarke" Dustin mumbles apologetically, ignoring the looks he is getting from his classmates. "Really, I'm so sorry. Please continue with the class. Don't mind me. Really, continue, please. Thanks"
Without another word, the Henderson boy slides into his seat and allows his backpack to plop onto the floor.
Mr. Clarke nods his head and continues. "Although it wasn't a crowbar, it was a rod, as I said"
Dustin leans over in his seat, talking to the guys. "We have to meet, all of us, at lunch. AV club"
"Why?" Mike questions, squinting as he leans forward in his seat.
"I have something that you won't believe" Dustin replied, making the boys nod their heads. Dustin turns around, as Max looks back at him.
"AV club. Lunch" he whisper-shout to her, getting Mr. Clarke's attention.
"Dustin!" Mr. Clarke warns, causing him to spin around in his chair.
"Yes, my lord?" Dustin asks.
"Would you care to join the class now?" Mr. Clarke asks.
"Yes! Please!" Dustin exclaims, grabbing his workbook out of his backpack.
"Case of Phineas Gage"
"Phineas Gage" Dustin repeats, placing the book down on his desk.
"Page 104" Mr. Clarke says, growing impatient.
"104" Dustin repeats again.
Mr. Clarke rolls his eyes. "Focus"
"Focus, focusing" Dustin repeats, for the third time, and Mr. Clarke continues the lesson.

"His name is D'artagnan" Dustin introduces, picking up the creature in his hands. "Cute, right?"
"D'artagnan?" Mike questions, from beside Will.
"Dart for short" Dustin confirms.
"And you found him in your trash?" Ziggy questions.
"Scouring for food" Dustin grins at the blonde. "You want to hold it?" he asks, handing the slug over to the girl's hands, who holds it up and plays with it.
"It looks cool. This is mind blowing" she smiles small.
Ziggy turns to Max. "Hey, you wanna hold it?"
