"Go to your room! Don't come out until I say you can!" Dan shouts angrily at his son.

"I hate you!" Trevor yells before storming up the stairs to his bedroom.

Dan groans loudly and hides his face in his hands, trying to ignore the headache that was coming on. It was another night of screaming arguments with his teenage son and another night of headaches. Dan doesn't know how much more he can take, but there's nothing much he could do. He's already tried everything.

Dan loves his son, even when Trevor is cruel to him, but sometimes he regrets that night he got drunk with his ex-girlfriend in high school, they hooked up and she got pregnant and left him alone with the baby. It wasn't so bad with Trevor when he was a little boy, they got along well, and Trevor always did what he was told, but as soon as he reached those teenage years, he completely changed and Dan hates it.

Trevor was pretty much failing most of his classes and Dan doesn't know what to do to make him do better, because he wants Trevor to have a good education. He doesn't want Trevor to be a troublemaker.

Now Dan has to go to Trevor's school for a parent teacher conference tomorrow night, which was something Dan really doesn't want to do but he has no choice because Trevor wasn't doing well in classes.

"You better be on your best behavior. You're already grounded," Dan warns quietly as he walks into the school building with Trevor. "You know we wouldn't even have to be here if you just did your work."

Trevor rolls his eyes but he doesn't say anything, he only follows his dad to Mr. Lester's classroom, just as another family walks out of the classroom, and Dan jumps slightly when Trevor gasps.

"Hi Noah!" Trevor says with a smile on his face.

Dan watches Trevor carefully as the two boys hug, and he's honestly shocked because he's never Trevor act like this before. Trevor was always angry and never wanted anything to do with anybody.

"See you Monday!"

Dan's shaken out of his thoughts, and he watches as the other boy walks away with his family.

"Who was that?" Dan asks as he looks over at Trevor.

"Nobody," Trevor mumbles quietly before walking into the classroom.

"Didn't seem like nobody," Dan rolls his eyes before following Trevor in, where they saw Mr. Lester.

"Hello," Mr. Lester greets as soon as he sees the two.

"Hi, I'm Dan, Trevor's father," Dan introduces himself as he shakes Mr. Lester's hand.

"Nice to meet you. Please, have a seat," Mr. Lester says as he points them towards the two chairs in front of his desk. Dan gently pushes Trevor over to the chairs and they sit down. "So..."

"Trevor's failing his class?" Dan asks before Mr. Lester can say anything.

"Yes," Mr. Lester nods. "But I know that Trevor can do better."

Dan glances over at Trevor before looking back at Phil. "What do you mean?" He asks.

"I see Trevor drawing and writing in his notebooks during classes. I know he's a smart boy," Mr. Lester says. "I just... I think he's getting distracted, something's keeping him away from his school work."
