It was that time of the day where James came to the lounge to watch television, he had no particular program in mind, usually ending up on channels that had games shows like "Who wants to be a Millionaire" Shows usually based on general knowledge questions. He had no classes for the day so he had nothing to do and this usually passed the time. He sat on the sofa, cross-legged, facing the television, flicking onto a game show as they asked questions.
The show's presenter was just about to ask a question to the contestant as James watched, "Which insect shorted out an early supercomputer and inspired the term "computer bug"?"
James didn't even blink, answering at the television. "A: Moth."
The contestant shuffled in there chair on the screen and paused "Uh, B: Roach."
The Presenter hesitated as per custom of show antics, "Sorry there my man, it's A: Moth. Though luckily you get to go home wi-"
James's sighed as his mind wandered, the show possibly was going to be ending soon, he let his eyes wander the room, spotting the stack of notes on a table nearby, no one was nearby so he took it as an invitation to read them, he read through the first page, seeing it was a set of mathematical equations, rather advanced appearing to be college level math or something along those lines, picking up the pencil nearby he started scribbling on the pages, working with each problem, show all the steps, getting the correct answer each time as the calculator nearby seemed to only collect dust. He felt someone was watching him in the door, way he felt uneasy as he sat there he was a little scared to look up did the owner return, he would have to explain himself even though he believed he did nothing wrong. He looked up slowly and saw Evelyn, he never saw her before though she didn't appear to be too pleased he was caught holding a pencil over her work. He cleared his throat and sat up "Uh..."
He didn't know what to do, he stood up and stared at her, unsure of what she may do.
