As they have been every year, the rising juniors of Cavelier Highschool are being provided a new printing of the student handbook, accounting for changing staff and new district bylaws and some new very pointed rules about exactly who is permitted in which bathrooms.
This particular book's cover appears to be a misprint, CMYK all disjoint, but apart from the slightly dizzying misalignment it appears entirely ordinary.
It lands on its appointed desk, and the student passing out books moves on.
This downgrades the boy’s apparent mood to “annoyed and contemptuous”.
“Uh, yeah. Because I’m not a complete faggot.”
One of the boys in line snickers.
"Your dick is literally in a dude's mouth right now, you moron," Camillo says, because how do you not say that under the circumstances, and then punches him in the face.
Why!
Z, because he is a good friend, pulls the (swearing and yelling) dude off Camillo before he can do any more damage.
This very rapidly attracts attention from the hallway. There are already a couple of students peering in the door.
Camillo has literally never gotten into a fistfight in his life.
"Fucking ow," he says, pulling himself up from the floor, and then adds, "that's a very rude word," for good measure.
His fellow student returns the favor.
This time, the ones who pull them apart are the security guards, and they’re both marched down the hall to the principal’s office.
Camillo takes this with the attitude of a martyr being escorted into the Coliseum.
(He is going to get expelled and then he'll never get into college and he won't be able to get a job and he'll starve on the street lighting matches one by one to keep himself warm.)
They are both, without room to get a word in edgewise, roundly reprimanded — especially Camillo, who “should know better”.
They are also both suspended for the next three days. Camillo is told to sit in the office until his parents can come to take him home.
Camillo says "but--" and "he--" and "I--" and "you--" and then resigns himself to sitting sulkily in the office texting Z.
