Damien Tivoli was a little startled as she suddenly sprinted across to him; he fumbled with his glasses  and placed then askew on his face as he looked and listened to her pleading “Athalia, isn’t it? You in one of my classes aren’t you.  A ride?” He wasn’t sure how much gas was in his broken old Caddy and was hoping that it wouldn’t be too far out of his way.  He couldn’t stand to see her looking so distressed.  “Hoe far do you need to go?”<br/><br/>He turned to see Austin walking briskly towards him and gave a smile his way.  He was hoping to catch his friend before he left for the day.
