First Official Day

Well, I hope he does. You seem like a nice kid, and the last thing you deserve is to get more abuse.

Oh… Nah… I mean… Well… who knows? I know it would cause trouble for him if there were pictures out there of me making out with a guy, but I don’t think that’s why he does it. He just doesn’t have time to deal with me, that’s all.

Aw, thanks. I really appreciate that. I really try to stay out of trouble so no one gets a bad idea about me. I don't want any more abuse but if that's how they operate then I can't change it.

Well, I guess I can understand that. I mean he is a senator. If pictures were to get out that his son was gay and making out with another male, it could ruin his political career. And he probably be too busy for you if you were home anyway. Well, can I have the bed next to yours since you're the only guy I've talked to here?

First Official Day

Yeah, man. With the rest of us, we’d probably end up getting punished, but your situation is special, so they might actually go easier on you because of your history. I’m sure he’ll get back on his feet before long.

That’s good, man. Well, I don’t know if I would call them problems. More like he doesn’t have to deal with me directly. Well… ironically, the sons of senators are not really supposed go to public schools.

That's what I was thinking. Though, if he denies my request then I guess I'll just have to bare it. Unlike home, I'm actually stuck here for the rest of the year. Yeah, maybe he'll be fine.

Oh, wait...he isn't ashamed that you're gay, is he? I mean that's not his real purpose for shipping you off, is it?

First Official Day

Dude, I’m not trying to put the fear of God into you, but it’s better if you know what to expect. Yes, man. Bruises, all over guy’s chest. It looked like he took one brutal beating…

Oh, man… I’m… I’m sorry about that. Uhm… I’m here because my dad put me here. This is just another boarding school for me, but he wants to see if I can actually last in this one.

It's okay. I scare easily anyway. Maybe I can take to one of the Sergeant Logan and see if he can get the rest of the staff to take it easy on me. I mean I'm not very fond of leaving one abuse situation just to wind up right back into another. That's horrible, I hope he's okay.

It's okay. I've healed and I have talked to him since I left home. I'm learning how to move past it. Ah, you have Dad problems too. Why send you to a boarding school? What's wrong with public school?

First Official Day

The brochure is full of shit. I saw a guy who ended up covered in bruises the other day simply because he addressed one of the sergeants as ‘dude’, and that’s not even the worse they can do. It doesn’t matter if you don’t break their rules, though. If you get their attention, they’ll find a way to get you.

Nice to meet’cha, dude. So how did you end up here?

Okay, you're kind of scaring me, man. I don't think they'll have any reason to punish me. I'm a very well behaved kid. I mean I don't swear, I'm polite, I follow rules and I'm a straight A student. Wait, did you say bruises? Oh man, that's the reason I left home. I don't want to get their attention.

It's nice to meet you too. I came here to get away from my Dad. He was...well...I was getting abused a lot so I ran away. I found a brochure for this place at a local cafe and here I am. What about you?

First Official Day

Detention…? Dude, this isn’t a regular school, it’s a military academy. Detention is what you’ll wish you’d gotten when they’re through with you if you break one of their rules, even as a joke.

What’s your name anyway? I’m Evan.

Wow, you sound like they actually put you through alot. The brochure said this school was tough but nothing was going to done to you that wasn't harsh or extreme. I'm too worried about it anyway. I'm not much of a rule breaker.

Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Willow.

First Official Day

Dude, I’m just joking. You’d probably end up getting punished by one of the sergeants if you showed up naked for drills.

Punished? What do you mean? Like getting a detention? I'm sure that'd be a small price to pay for a little joke. I haven't met any of the sergeants or teachers yet so I don't really know what buttons I can push yet.

First Official Day

Or you could just head out there in the buff, give everyone something to look at.

No way. I'm not doing that. I don't have anything worth looking at, trust me.

Well then, welcome! I wouldn’t worry too much about the cockiness, I’m Chase.
