Andrew Minyard

A ray of sunlight filtered through the black curtains, immediately striking the young man's bare torso. Autumn had only just begun, so the sun was still warm, allowing the slightest bit of warmth to be enjoyed. The blond man propped himself up on his elbows and looked at the alarm clock on the table. The time was 15 minutes to 6 a.m.

"It's a bit early," Minyard thought to himself, sitting up on his bed and stretching. He looked around for his pet, a German Shepherd named "Gabby." Unable to find the dog, the young man rose from his bed, grabbing a black T-shirt from a chair. Aaron, the twin brother, had long since left for his morning jog, leaving his brother to sleep. They were indifferent, but always helped and supported each other. The student was supposed to go for a run, too, but for several days now he's been deviating from training and jogging. After a quick breakfast, Andrew's father angrily announced that he would be transferred to a new boarding school for a more intensive education. Why? Recently, the head of the family had learned of one of his sons' secrets. He turned out to be gay, and so his father decided to transfer him to a new institution. Naturally, Minyard wasn't happy about this and started a row, during which he stormed off to his room with a bang. The young man showered, tidied up his room, then dressed in his usual attire—a black hoodie and jeans—and got the address of the new boarding house from his brother. Leaving the house, he grabbed the keys, got into his car, and drove to the address.
