I try to.
New Year.
It’s the least I could do if I’m gonna be spending my time around cleaning products, and it’s so much time that eventually the slogans are second nature. Awright, which is the most fun?
I suppose that's fair enough. I spend so much time with books I know a lot of quotes. It's hard to tell really. It depends how you teach it. People would say that Drama is the most fun, most practical and hands on, but I try to make all my classes fun.
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
Just try….
New Year.
And here I am, trying to impress people with my knowledge of cleaning product slogans. Which one’s your favorite to teach?
That's impressive too. I'm not very good at remembering slogans to be honest. I can't say which is my favorite. They've all got different aspects I like.
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
Do you think you’ll ever be willing to make those sacrifices?
I don't know. I wish I could.
New Year.
I’m only messin’ with ye, pal. I think it’s actually very awesome you teach so many different subjects.
I figured teaching one wouldn't be nearly satisfying enough.
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
Well if you want something bad enough…sometimes you have to make sacrifices…
I know.
New Year.
A clean slate from what? Did you do something you regret last year? You look like the kind of man who has a lot of….regrets. Just sayin’
Everyone regrets something they've done.
New Year.
Wow. Someone’s trying to impress me.
Well, I'm just.. um, I teach these things.. so.Â
New Year.
You don’t need a new year as an excuse to make changes..you should just change regardless. Bettering ones self should happy at any point in the calendar.
I know that but it seems easier when a new year starts. I know it's not true but it feels like a clean slate.
New Year.
New janitor.
Hi! I’m Abe.
It's nice to meet you Abe. I'm Luis. I teach English, Drama and French.
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
Well sometimes there is no pleasing your family. You can’t always make them happy. Sometimes you just have to make yourself happy. I’m sorry you feel so strongly about this and I’m sorry your life hasn’t worked out the way you wanted it too but you can’t blame yourself for that. You can’t change who you are. You just can’t. Don’t take it out on yourself. You can still have a family with a man. You can and…you don’t have to be lonely. You don’t…you can let someone into your life.
Easier said than done.
New Year.
New start, new opportunities.Â

I DO say so…you should try listening to me for once and take it to heart.
A partner cheating has nothing to do with the way you treat them. It is their own issues which cause them to cheat. If you never wanted to BE with a woman it’s not surprising you were unable to please her. Normal?! What even IS normal. Are you saying I’m not normal then? Your parents are judgmental bigots. If the are willing to throw their relationship with their son away over something as trivial as who he loves then they don’t deserve to have you in their lives. You could still have a family…stop being so negative Luis.
No, no, you don't understand. I have disappointed them enough. My father's a lawyer, my mother owns her own company! They had big plans for me, they expected me to excel. I chose to become a teacher. Do you know how disappointed they were to see me settle? I never, never wanted to see them so disappointed with me again. I thought I could have had a family with my wife, they were so happy to have a daughter-in-law. I loved her in a way, but it wasn't how a husband was supposed to love his wife. Don't you get it? I can't have my family if I choose to love a man. They will never look at me the same, only a failure. It's a choice that I made and usually I do a good job at dealing with it but it gets lonely... It gets really fucking lonely, Ezra.
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
Stop talking like this Luis. Stop it, it’s…getting on my god damn nerves. You’re a great guy, I like being around you, I like being WITH you too but you seem to have it stuck in your head that you’re nothing special. Well that’s not true. You are… I want you to stop having pity parties all together! What even if your reason for being so god damn down on yourself!? You’re fucking gorgeous, you have a great personality, you’re kind and smart. You could do and be anything. Why do you have to be so down on yourself?! So what you like guys and you don’t want to? Get OVER yourself Luis…it’s getting old.
If you say so.
I don't know, maybe the fact that I couldn't even keep a woman happy enough to prevent her cheating on me. Or maybe that I desperately don't want to disappoint my parents so I try to be normal, because God knows they were disappointed enough when I became a teacher. Or maybe because I can't ever really have a proper relationship because you know, family means something to me and if I had a proper partner I could hardly introduce him to my parents.Â
[1st January, 2014. Morning.]
An easy fuck? Luis…no. I don’t THINK of you like that. And you shouldn’t think of yourself like that. That’s degrading as hell. I was drunk and nervous yes…but being around you helps relax me, I want to be around you. Don’t…over think it. You always over think things…
Stop…stop talking like that.
It is what it is. I must be very exciting and fun to be around, clearly. Well I'm sorry I can stop my head from thinking and forming conclusions.Â
Why? It's the damn truth. You said yourself you didn't want to involve yourself with my pity parties. I'm just giving you a notice ahead of time.
