3-3: Seniors or Minotaurs

Alternate titles were "Seniors," "The Minotaurs," and "More Like FRESHMEAT, Amirite?"

So, I think the repetitive jokes this week were completely worth this last joke. The funny thing is, this entire week's story wasn't even IN the original plans. A friend of mine talked about fears of getting lost when getting into a new school, and it just kinda wedged itself in my head. I knew that if I put it off any longer the idea would be useless, so I decided to slap it in three weeks in. (And yes, he's been in school all three weeks we've seen him. We just haven't seen him at school.)

Anyway, since this idea was pretty vague up until the days I posted, I'd actually forgotten how this story ended in my original draft (the draft being… well, a little mental note). So for a while, I actually had two other possible people to help him get to class. One was his school friend (who we will meet next week), and one is… someone else. Who will be pretty important throughout the series. Possibly.

Yes, I'm being a tease. Don't worry, it'll show up soon.
