The sun glinted on the sidewalk as Jeremy tucked his head under his hat as a policeman briskly walked by. He slowed down, looking at Jeremy's friends and then locking eyes with Jeremy. Yes, it looked like they were up to no good. Rachel's multicolored hair and piercings were a clue; also Twitch was always on the edge, so the cops always thought he was on drugs. Maybe it was, Jeremy wouldn't know. He wasn't hanging out with these people to get high or anything; he had a bad time in middle school and didn't want it to happen again. Rachel and Twitch accepted it, and that's what they liked. Attending a top-tier university didn't help in the friends department, until he found Twitch (aka Timothy). The cop was already down the street, but Jeremy watched a police car pull up to the curb in front of Ben & Jerry's. Rachel suddenly stretched like a confused cat from her sitting position, prepared for the "don't loiter" speech. Instead, a burly policeman emerged, relieved the pressure on the car's tires and rushed into the ice cream shop without sparing either of them a glance. With a sigh of relief and a giggle from Rachel, the group gathered their backpacks, boards, and skated in the direction of UC Berkeley. The sun was slowly going down and there wasn't much to do in the evening, it was a Wednesday. Entering the mixed stone and steel dormitories together, Rachel waved hastily, muttering something like "I need to pee." Jeremy and Twitchy shrugged and headed towards the shared dormitory. As they shuffled their feet along the hallway in a comfortable silence, Jeremy remembered the moment he and Twitch first met. It was his first day on the job and he had just made his way through a tear stain… in the middle of paper......sor called his name. “Mr. Moore! Please pay attention! “If a person suffers from delusional parasitosis, what is the recommended treatment?” "The primary treatment is very similar to those for delusional disorders and schizophrenia. In the past, pimozide, also used in the treatment of Tourrett syndrome, was the drug of choice among typical antipsychotics. Currently, as first-line treatment they are used typical antipsychotics like olanzapine or risperidone,” Jeremy recites directly from the textbook His photographic memory helped in situations like these. “Exactly… But Mr. Moore, remember that listening to my lectures will be useful, because a photographic memory should not be the determinant of your grade in this course." With a snort, Walden continued his lecture.
