Author's notes: This fic is for decembersrose in the slutrick challenge. It is way delayed, so I hope it lives up to expectations!

This fic is realistic AU so I've had to bend a few historical factors – I hope that doesn't shake it up too much for anyone.

I did a fucking TON of research for this fic – both looking at online schooling information and asking people who live over there. I've done my best to make it as accurate as possible. Apologies for any inconsistencies.

Disclaimer: Could not have happened because there's this place called Ohio, apparently...
