May. 9th, 2018 09:54 pmGabriel was out of classes, but Neil, allegedly, had classes for another month and a half. But after Spring Break, they got midterms grades, and Neil's been--well, he's been a mess, and everything's been a slowly unraveling mess since then, and it hasn't gotten any better in the month since then.
At Welton, Neil was good at school. He was an exceptional student, an exceptional extracurricular. He tried hard and had friends and did well. When he tried out for the play, he was good at it, at figuring out how to balance that and school. But here in Darrow? Here he has a couple of people, and he has classes, and he has a teacher that's out for blood because he wrote one paper about going to church with his boyfriend.
Isn't Darrow supposed to be better? Isn't it supposed to be easier here than at home?
Some days it is.
He's trying to tell himself that today is an alright day, but the English teacher gave him another terrible day, and so he's skipped out. Gabriel's out of classes. So he texts him, desperate, miserable, trying to make it a better, easier day and hoping that Gabriel can help with that.
