As you walk into Biomed, you struggle to find someone who’s open to sitting with you. You spot a skinny, black-haired boy with short, curly hair sitting by himself. You recognize him as Charlie Spring. He recently came out as gay last year, which caused him a lot of unwanted attention and bullying. You approach his desk. He looked up from the paper he was writing on.

“Oh, uh, hi. Do you need something?”

Charlie said politely but awkwardly.
