3 minutes of staring later...

"Can you-" she stay still... As Charly's face was too close for comfort, too close, enough to hear His breathing... He snaps up of the trances like state...

He lowers his head. "Sorry, There's was bug on your cheek" 

"Is there now?" He nods. She touched her left cheek... And there was indeed a bug... A small ladybug, now it's has sadly past away.

"Oh, I killed it..."  She laughs, Charly just blankly stared... "Uhhh... Hey, Can I tell you something?" He nods slowly, "ok... Then... My-"

He looks up at What seemed to be a male and older version of Jade was staring at him. "Does, Jade Parlor belong in class?" His voice was soft. "Yes, she's my friend" He wrote down. 'quiet huh?'

"Wonderful!" He sits down down next to him. "Are, you Charly by any chance" he was spooked and began to shake violently. "Hahaha, hey calm down, I'm not a threat..."
