"I am so sorry, Mr. Clarke. Really, I'm so sorry. Please continue with the class." Dustin says, taking his seat.


"Why are you late? You're never late." Rudy whispers.


"I was just about to tell you guys. We have to meet. All of us, at lunch, AV Club." Dustin whispers.


"Why?" Mike whispers.


"I have something that you won't believe." Dustin whispers.


Mike nods and he, Will, Lucas, and Rudy sit back up.


Dustin turns around to face Max.


"AV Club. Lunch." Dustin whispers to her and she nods.



"Invite Gem too." Rudy whispers, glancing back at her.


"I am. Gemma!" Dustin whisper yells to her.


"Yeah?" Gemma whispers, looking up from her book.


"AV Club. Lunch." Dustin whispers.


Gemma looks at Rudy who nods and smiles at her.

Gemma smiles back before looking back at Dustin and giving him a nod.


"Dustin!" Mr. Clarke says.


"Yes, my lord?" Dustin asks, turning back around.


"Would you care to join the class now?" Mr. Clarke asks.


"Please, yes." Dustin says, bending down to grab his textbook.


"The case of Phineas Gage." Mr. Clarke says.


"Phineas Gage." Dustin says.


"Page 104." Mr. Clarke says.


"104? 104." Dustin says, pulling his textbook out his backpack.


"Focus." Mr. Clarke says.


"Focusing." Dustin says.


"And Gemma, while I admire your love for reading, can you please put your book away and do the same as Dustin?" Mr. Clarke asks.


"I'm multitasking." Gemma says, not looking up from her book and Rudy smirks.



"Gemma." Mr. Clarke warns.



"Ok." Gemma says, sadly and sliding her book under her desk.


Rudy looks over his shoulder and smiles at her again.


The growling sound from Dustin's backpack pulls his attention from her and he looks at Dustin, confused.


Dustin widens his eyes before quickly zipping his backpack back up.

"His name is D'Artagnan." Dustin says to the group as he takes a slimy creature out from his case.
