Everyone's favorite dickweed is back! I had a lot of fun with Trevor, so of course I had to write more for him.

And proving that all characters are to some extent self-inserts, this one is partly based on a true story.

Thanks to Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (or possibly just Being A Teenager), I was chronically late to high school, which led to my first-period teacher telling me exactly this one morning. Well, I did what he asked, and I never came back. Nobody ever reached out to me to see what was going on or do anything to help, so I just kind of gradually dropped out (though I kept coming to school just to get free lunch for a while, since I was broke). Trevor made it to a 2-year college, so he actually has me beat there (even if he was in remedial classes!)

This teacher's petty little moment of frustration could have sent me down a very dark path, but thankfully I got my GED later on and eventually built a career in software engineering. And now I work for you!

Did this guy ever get his comeuppance for this very un-teacher-like behavior? Nope. I heard they made him Vice Principal later on.
