After a full day of EVERYTHING, Todd and I are cuddling in his bed. "I um I told M-Mr Keating that I couldn't do th-the assignment..." He says quietly as I played with his hair. "H-He said that I-I have to at least t-try..." He is shaking slightly. "It's going to be okay... I promise. You are gonna be the best one in the class..." I whisper. He nods. "Thank you for not giving up on me." Now it's my turn to nod. "I would never give up on anyone. Especially you." He sighs and hugs me tighter.

It's Friday and we are all in the cave. Well at least almost all of us. Knox is at the party and Charlie is... somewhere... "God what is taking Charles so long." Neil shifts his weight. We had been waiting for him for thirty minutes now and he has still not shown up.

A little while latter, he shows up with two girls. Gloria and Tina they seem to be in their early twenties.

"Charlie you had no right to do something like that!" Charlie points a finger at him. "It's Neuanda Cameron." Gloria speaks. "That's right, it's Neuanda."

Knox come back into the dorm with blood on his face. I look at him worried. "What happened?" He sighs and lays on his bed. "Nothing, leave me alone." I nod and roll over.

It's finally the weekend and Todd and I are biking along the cobblestone streets of Vermont. Our bike chains rattling, the wind blowing through our hair. Laughing. Todd stops suddenly. "Crap, crap, crap, crap." His hands are pale, he is gripping the handlebars. "Monday is in two days. I need to present in two days." He closes his eyes as I bike over to him. I rub his back gently. "Hey it's okay. It's okay. I'm gonna be right there and I know that you are going to do great. I promise." We start biking back to Welton.

It's around twelve in the morning and I hear my dorm door open. I open one eye and see a silhouette in the door way. The door closes and the person walks to my bed. "Y/N? Are you awake?" It's Todd. I sit up an rub my eyes. "Can I stay with you tonight?" I nod and make room for him on the bed. He snuggles right up to me. I play with the hair at the back of his head. I can tell he's stressed about the assignment tomorrow. "You're going to do great tomorrow." I whisper but he is already asleep.
