Dream + story

I'm at school, and I have a boyfriend, and it is wonderful. It's the best high school experience I have ever had. I don't want it to end. I'm used to being alone, unpopular, and ignored, jostled, hassled by my peers. Here I start to fit in. I round the corner at the bottom of the stairs on my way to my next class, the last one of the day, and he pins me to the whitewashed cinder block wall by my neck, my feet barely touching the ground, definitely not supporting me. I try to gasp, but my breath is held inside me and won't go out or come in. I smile up at him, and enjoy that I've given him this permission over me. He slides me back down to my feet and kisses me before giving back my air. As trained, I kiss first, breathe later. 

In class I stand until given permission to be seated, which takes forever. I'm only a head taller than my chair when standing, so everyone assumes I'm already seated. Pity, I wanted to make a good impression, even though my kiss cost me the time I would have spent on a bathroom break. I have to pee, and it's so hard to concentrate on the new teachers. 

I like this school better than the last one. This school is for fixers. I think I might have found somewhere I finally fit in.

Makers - metalwork, woodwork, carpentry, house building, bricklaying, medicine, paper, if it needs to be made, you learn it here.

Destroyers - demolition, explosives, lumber, disassembly, crematorium

Fixers - recycle, doctors, repairmen, plumbers, take it apart and put it back together fast and well, psychologists, 

Growers - plants, trees, children, cattle, 

War - strategists, fighting styles, weapons training, obedience training

People - speaking, communication, 

Art - painting, designing, metal, wood, this section learns from all the other schools too

Math and money - Analytical, how do we make it work, number oriented

Cleaning - chemicals, manual labor, safe handling and disposal of dangerous materials, housekeeping, 

Some of the colleges overlap, some trade students. There are more. Some of them have schools within schools to cover all the material for each vocation. 

Students get to pick out of X that are close to where they live that they would like to learn at. If they fail at one, they are allowed to pick from 3 new choices, but each time they swap schools, they get less leeway. One or two is ok. At a seventh rejection, you have to do manual labor/supervised labor / work at McDonald's forever / sent out of the country, which is really bad. 

Need to draw a map for this idea, but don't have my art book right now.
