tyler gave a slight nod as he observed himself in the car mirror, tugging on the bottom of his marigold turtleneck sweater. it hung loosely over his torso and was tucked into the waistband of his light wash ripped boyfriend jeans. he blinked a few times and smiled as his mascara coated eyelashes fluttered delicately against his cheekbones.

he was determined to give a good first impression at his new school, wanting nothing more than to have a positive junior year. he double checked his appearance and opened his car door with shaky hands, a sudden rush of adrenaline hitting him as he approached the large building.

the halls were empty as tyler arrived early for the introduction meeting that he was required to attend. he timidly pushed open the door to the main office and all eyes in the room landed on him, making him feel like a doe in the headlights.

"tyler joseph?" the mellow voice of the secretary rang through his ears as he nodded his head in agreement. "great! take a seat and your vice principal will come to get you shortly."

tyler apprehensively sat down on one of the uncomfortable plastic waiting chairs, his left leg bouncing as a nervous tic. he wrapped his slender fingers around the straps of his backpack, holding it in place. his eyes slipped shut as he patiently awaited for his name to be called, jumping in surprise as he felt a large hand rest on his shoulder.

"tyler?" a deep, soothing voice broke him from his thoughts and he tilted his head up towards the person who spoke, his eyes widening as he wasn't expecting what he was met with.

the vice principal was tall, probably a whole foot taller than tyler, and he had bright yellow curls situated on his head. his white button up was snug against his torso and his tattoos were slightly visible through the material. he sent tyler a charming smile that had him swooning for the man instantly.

"follow me, we'll make this quick and i'll be out of your hair after this."

he led the high schooler down a hallway and into the room at the end, motioning for him to take a seat at one of the chairs in front of his desk. tyler did so and blushed under the gaze of the older man, noting the way his dark hazel eyes flitted across his body.

"i'm mr. dun, your vice principal. it's great to have you at our school." he stuck his hand out for tyler to shake, the young boy nearly dying at how large his hand was compared to his own, and how firm his grip was as they shook hands.

mr. dun cleared his throat, continuing his speech. "i'm going to go over some rules with you and then i'll give you your schedule and you'll be good to go. sounds good?"

tyler nodded, trying not to stare at mr. dun's muscles that flexed under his shirt.

"first, i'll go over attendance. if you're tardy more than five times without an excuse you get an office detention, if you skip any class you immediately get an office detention, and if you're absent or tardy more than five times you get your lunchtime and study privileges taken away, meaning you can't leave the school during those times. any questions so far?"

"no, sir."

"great. we're pretty flexible when it comes to cell phones so that's up to each individual teacher. obviously, we're very serious about consequences for bullying but i would like to think you won't be having any problems with that. before i address the last thing, questions?"

once again tyler shook his head.

"okay, nice. i like to think we have a pretty reasonable dress code but we do have some rules surrounding it that i need to go over. first, no bare midriffs or showing of your stomach. no sheer clothing or shirts that show your chest. no showing underwear of any kind. no clothing with crude remarks or swears. basically no butts, boobs, bras, boxers, or bellys, as the students like to say," mr. dun chuckled. tyler gulped anxiously, knowing that more than half of his wardrobe was now unwearable. "as long as you follow those things you'll have no problems in being on my good side."

tyler couldn't help the small voice in the back of his head telling him that maybe he did want to be on mr. dun's bad side. the thought made him giddy and his cheeks burned an even brighter shade of red.

after retrieving his schedule he began to get up to leave, stopping as mr. dun called his name out once more.

"have a great day tyler. hopefully i won't be seeing to much of you."

and with that tyler left his office, feeling like a teenage schoolgirl as he fawned over his vice principal. he knew that seeing mr. dun meant that he was in trouble, but he wanted to see him whenever he wanted.

he just needed a plan.
