Summary
Michael didn’t want to go to boarding school. Especially not in the middle of the school year. He was perfectly fine at his public high school in Phoenix. He had plenty of friends and extracurriculars to keep him busy. His grades were pretty good too, by his standards. He would put up with two parents in the middle of a messy divorce if it meant he wouldn’t be uprooted. Said parents, specifically his mother, thought differently.

Summary
“Who gives a shit about what the seniors on the football team think of us?” Albert sighed and tilted his chair back. “They’re gonna graduate anyway.”
“We can't be annoying freshmen!” Race argued, “Nobody likes annoying freshmen.”
Albert leaned as far back as he possibly could without falling and a smirk grew on his face, “You’re just worried about what Spot Conlon thinks of you huh?” Race's face grew flush and he sank down in his seat.
