A Stealthy Situation (Franklin U 2)

HARRISON

There’s something different about Benny today. He seems … distracted. Normally he’s super invested in class, and I have to ask him to break things down for me, but today, his brain is elsewhere. I only met him at the start of the semester, but he’s been a savior in wrapping my head around this class. I originally took it in freshman year, and considering I need to take advanced stats soon, I decided to audit this one as a refresher, which is lucky because I hadn’t realized how much I’d forgotten.

Benny’s also never been interested in hanging out before. I’ve asked once if he wanted to grab lunch, but after it was clear he was only interested in small talk and statistics, I let him be. There was no hesitation today though. British sitcoms really can win anyone over.

“Okay.” He drops his bag under the table, then grabs a chair that he flips around and straddles. “Do your best.”
