What can I say. I'm doing what the characters dictate and they don't always agree with what you want or when you want it. Not all characters think the same way you guys do, because wouldn't that be a little boring?
Tony, I don't think Devin ever refused to tell Mac and he will do it eventually, but obviously he didn't think that was a good time to do it. Be patient and you will learn all.
Thanks for that info, Clancy, and it helps to point out the fact that every college/university is different. I hope I didn't offend anyone at Devin's assumption, but without the experience in the dorms, it was merely his opinion, although he might have also been considering the emergency rescue aspect as well.
Yes, that's very true, and that's why I don't like to go to class reunions. There were too many of those guys in my graduating class, although there's fewer of them that are still alive.
Yes, Mac is already becoming annoyed with Devin about his withholding the information until later, but he always comes clean, eventually. And the reason I mention the movie The Princess Bride was I knew that way the readers would get a good idea about what Mr. Hyde looked like - only better looking. 😁 Some may have remembered Andre the Giant from his time in the wrestling ring, but I felt more would get the picture better from the movie.
Devin is well aware of the cameras, that's why he transitioned behind the building first, but you're right, there may always be a camera he isn't aware of. As far as the buildings, I believe Devin just made up his mind because of the number of students in the high rise, as opposed to the smaller building, but we shall see if his theory plays out. Thanks for pointing that out, Terry.
Devin is slowly coming clean and I believe Mac loves him enough to give him the chance to do it at his own pace. We'll have to wait and see how this works out.
Devin kicking Mr. Rude's ass may have been a possibility, but seeing this is only orientation, I don't believe he wanted to stand out just yet. That may be something he'll do at a later time. Who knows?
And their problem probably doesn't have to do with their studies in school either. This is not an easy time for young gays and the politicians aren't helping any. I pray that the current situation improves soon and the LGBTQ+ community no longer has a target on their backs, literally.
You never know. He may have learned his lesson and maybe not, but since he believes Mr. Hyde may still be around possibly he'll mend his ways, or at least change them temporarily. But that doesn't preclude them from running into other rude, obnoxious, and inconsiderate asswipes.
Chapter 9 – Orientation
As soon as we woke up the following morning, we got dressed and went out for to get a bite to eat. After that, we made our way over to the building listed in our letter as to where Freshman Orientation was going to be held. When we signed in, we were handed a packet that contained several items, and this included a name tag we were to wear, a student handbook, and another map of the campus. There was also an academic catalog that listed all of the course offering
