Description
Cress has been kicked out of every boarding school on the west coast, so when her uncle enrolls her at Curtain Academy, she doesn't hold out much hope. Especially considering it's an all boy's school, meaning she has to keep her identity a secret from her fellow boarders. But this is her last chance to make things work, and a cute boy at orientation smiled at her, so maybe, just maybe, things will go right this time? Loosely based on Shakespeare's 'Troiluss & Cressida'. Trigger/Content Warnings: some brief crude humor (teenage level), some brief teen sexuality. Some trauma regarding family relationships. Mild violence. Characters fear another character is suicidal and comfort them. Nothing particularly disturbing, any upsetting situations are dealt wtih.
