"Virgil, can you please come here for a moment?" Logan asked, calling Virgil to the back of the room, where Logan's desk was. Virgil stood up and walked to the teacher's desk.
"What's going on?" Virgil asked
"Can you go to the theater room during free period? Mr.Picanni wants to talk to you" Logan replied. "Don't worry, you're not in trouble" he added, noticing Virgil's concerned expression.
"Yeah, I can do that" Virgil nodded
"Great! Now, go back your stuff up, the bell is going to ring soon" Logan said. Virgil went back to his seat and put his notebooks in his backpack.
A couple hours later
The bell rang, signaling the start of free period. Virgil left the science classroom and walked down the hall to the theater room. He knocked on the door.
"Come on in" Mr.Picanni called. Virgil walked into the room and saw Mr.Picanni sitting in a spiny chair behind his desk. He was drinking Starbucks and had his feet up on the desk. He was wearing jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a leather jacket with a pair of sunglasses. He seemed very chill for a teacher.
"Hey, I'm Virgil Sullivan. You wanted to talk to me?" Virgil said
"Oh, hey Virgil! I'm Remy Picanni, the theater teacher" Mr.Picanni introduced himself
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Virgil asked
"Remember about a month ago when you submitted a play that we might put on this year?" Remy asked
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you seriously not know where I'm going with this?"
"No?"
"I chose yours!"
"Really?!"
"Yeah!"
"Can I ask why you chose mine?" Virgil asked, doubting that he was actually that good of a writer
"It was really well written, and also it's very gay" Remy explained. Virgil laughed.
"Thank you, so much! I should go, I have a couple more things to do before free period ends" Virgil said
"Okay, if you could come back here during free period tomorrow so we can talk about it a bit more, that would be great" Remy responded
"Of course I can do that!" Virgil said, walking out of the room

Yes, Remy's married to Emile. Is he Patton's ex though? Maybe. Until next time, take it easy guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, peace out!
