Charlie stands in the Truman school library, listening to the tick, tick, tick of the clock. It's deafening. He feel uncomfortable, but Ben is there, and it's 'kissing practice' time again, or whatever Ben wants. They're not together, but the only two gay kids in the school find what they can.

He feels an uncomfortable ache in his chest.

Charlie jumps when the bell rings. "Uh... gotta go... I got English," He says quickly, grabbing his bag and giving Ben an apologetic expression.
