Summary: The final year of high school changes everything, and not always in the way they expect it to.
Notes: I suck at summaries, and titles. The summary will probably be changed. Future chapters will be long, since this one’s pretty much the set-up chapter.
  I know the title is the cheesiest title that ever did cheese, but the alternative was worse—and Katy can vouch for that.
  Thanks to blakesheltoned, padaguin, sharkhunter and ginnybadger for help with my question about the classes.
