Charlie and the other guys went down to the basement at the school, trying to find out what Cameroon meant. “I didn’t sign up for this” Knox cried, but still with a little smile, without knowing what the other boys thought of him, crying like a little kid. “Come on, we have to think, and we don’t have a lot of time. Stop being such a jerk Oversteet, and use your brain instead.” Todd yelled at Knox.Pitts looked surprised at Todd. “When did you start being so cheeky” he said. “Have I missed something?”
Todd looked surprised at himself too, wondering how all these words came out of his mouth.
“Todd is right!” Charlie said. “Neil isn’t here anymore, so we have to think by ourselves. What would Neil have done? We have to face up our own slip even though it won’t end well. There is no other way out of this.” The boys were quiet for a while. Then Knox broke the silence. “Why did you hit Cameroon by the way? I know you did it in anger, but still? Why Charlie?” Charlie didn’t answer. He just stood by himself, looking around the basement admiring. The boys decided to go up to Todd and Neil’s room. Nobody would disturb them there. No one would disturb them in the basement either, but it was too creepy staying there.
