Olivia sighed as Daniel walked out, standing up to go and try to talk to him.
Seth shook his head at Daniel, obviously not happy, and then saw Olivia standing. "That offer wasn't open to you, Olivia," he said. "Please sit back down."
Olivia nodded slightly, taking a seat and looking in the direction of the door.
"Now, will you please give an answer to my question," Seth said.
Olivia sighed, "Well . . . ummm . . ." she said, trying to remember the question. "We live here, in America I mean . . . so it must be important that we understand where we come from so that we can understand where we are now."

The rest of the class went much more smoothly, Dalziel having been made happy by Olivia 'decent' answer and Daniel not being there for him to pick on. When the bell rang, Olivia stood, grabbing her books and stepping into the hall before Daniel'd have a chance to go anywhere, "You're talking to him," she said, not about to give him a chance to change his mind after how that class had gone.

" Yeah, I'm sure he'll be really happy about it. " he said sarcastically, beginning to walk off.

Olivia reached out and grabbed his hand in an attempt to stop him, "Stop it," she told him. "You can't just walk out of every one of his classes . . ."

" Why not? " he asked, stopping when she'd grabbed his hand.

Olivia gave him a look, "You can only miss so many beofre they automatically fail you," she said. "You can't fail two classes."

He rolled his eyes, " Fine..." he said, and sighed, waiting for the kids to stop coming out of the room, before hesitantly opening the door, and walking in, " Mr. Dalziel? "

Olivia followed Daniel into the room.
Seth looked up from gathering the papers, obviously surprised to see Daniel. He glanced at Olivia and pointed to the door, "If you have something to say to, Olivia, it can wait," he told.
"No, I hadn't, Mr. Dalziel," Olivia told him, silently wishing Daniel luck before walking out of the room.

Daniel sighed, reluctantly allowing her to leave, before glancing back to Mr. Dalziel, " I'm sorry about interrupting your class..." he said softly, fiuring it was a good place to start

"No . . . I interrupted my own class," Seth said, setting the papers down and taking a sip of coffee before setting his mug down as well. "You simply failed to pay attention or contribute."

Daniel paused, " I'm sorry..." he said, pausing again, " I just...it's not easy for me..." he said, not really knowing how to begin.

"Right . . ." Seth said, not really eager to hear excuses from him. "Actually, I think it's very easy for you; when you don't try nothing about it can be hard."

" Mr. Dalziel...you don't understand..." he said softly, " I'd been diagnosed with ADHD two years ago...my family can't afford to get me medication or a phsycologist..." he explained softly, obviously a bit uncomfortable and embarressed.

Seth rolled his eyes, "And you know, if you tried . . . I'd probably take that into consideration," he said. "But if you're going to walk into my class every day thinking that you can't learn at all, you're not going to pass."
