So, I'm not going to clarify this in the story, but I kind of need to now in the description, because why not. This takes place during the Spring. No particular year, but it is modern. Craig and Clyde are already 16 due to Craig's birthday being around January 24 and Clyde's being April 10. However, Pip and Damien are still 15 due to their birthdays being June 6 (Damien) and August 12 (Pip). In the very beginning of the story (Ch1) no, they do not know each other. Yes, they go to the same school, but you know, there's a lot of people, and it's normal for them never to see each other in their life. So, yes. That's all I have to put here in the description for you.
