||Willow's Clothes||
He'd only been out for about six months but already, Willow was seriously thinking about what he could do about his future. Though he would never admit it to his friends or those guys he knew back in prison, Willow still had a passion for art and he wanted to get that education he was swindled out of. He had already spoken to his parole officer, the asshole Mr. Worthington, about possibly attending Metric to get his degree. The fatass had blusteringly stated that a) Willow wasn't allowed within one hundred feet of Salem High or Metric Academy while classes were in session and b) he would have to wait until after his parole to begin any sot of classes because of field trips and all that other paperwork bullshit.
So Willow parked his truck a couple of blocks over and waited inside, watching the students walk by until he was certain classes were over and got out, pulling his cap on over his head. His walk was still a bit weighted to the right, since he still was having difficulty getting used to the damned ankle monitor, and Willow swore under his breath. He hoped he wouldn't look painfully obvious but peopel he passed made it clear they were trying to avoid him.
The administrative building was just as he remembered it from ten years ago, though offices had apparently been switched around. He followed the signs that said "Headmaster's Office" and began to prepare what he was going to say. His lips moved with the words, making sure to mention night courses or anything that could count as credits that he could complete.
A few more turns, and he could see the office just up ahead. Oh, good, it looked like the Headmaster was still here! It would have been terrible if Willow had gone through this for nothing. Knocking lightly on the door as he pushed it open, Willow first stuck his head in then took a step inside as well.
"Umm.. Excuse me, Mr.. Headmaster?" The rest of his prepared speech left his brain as he recognized the man behind the desk. Sure, he had aged--so had Willow-- but he had not been expecting Mr. Audet of all people to be sitting there! Willow froze in the doorway, his jaw hanging slightly open as he tried to remember what it was he wanted to say.
