Monthly CG Set (June) Harry - Part 1

This month's CG set will be slightly different :) As Harry came second in the VIP poll, he will be our star this month! Due to the nature of the comic, it's been hard to really beef our those characters as they're still super new!

So this set will have an accompanied short story to go alongside it so you can learn a little more about Harry :D 

“Another year, another colossal waste of my time,” I groaned, arriving at my dorm room. Summer was bliss, and I got to spend it in quiet solitude reading through the list of science-fiction novels that I compiled last year.

It’s hard pretending to be someone I’m not, especially when I have to keep up the act 24 hours a day, 7 days on the trot. Star athlete, budding socialite, willing charitable donator for events I couldn’t give a crap about.

Bancroft Boarding School for boys is a cess-pit for the children of wannabe millionaires. Elitists that are actually living between pay checks, beyond their means with maxed out credit cards and extortionate mortgages. Everyone knows it- but nobody says anything. We all just continue to exist in this bubble, dancing delicately around our lies to preserve whatever weird version of false reality this is.

So here I am, on my first day back- in my final year; counting down the seconds before I can leave this hell hole and be someone I want to be. Not the character my family forces me to play to keep up this pitiful façade.

Classes don’t start until Monday, but we have to be in our dorms by the end of today because they treat the weekend as orientation. Welcome back parties, stalls for all the different clubs and societies; it’s basically the board's way of forcing us into tribes and pumping more money into the school.

I strip out of my clothes, hoping to spend the rest of my afternoon here alone. With any luck, my roommate won’t get here until later tonight. I really can’t be arsed with people right now, just give me a day to collect myself before I plaster on my fake smile.

Jumping onto my bed, I groan in frustration as the mattress greets me with a rough thud. No bounce, no real comfort; but hey… who actually cares about the comfort of students, right? At least I still have my secret spot out in the gardens. And with Eyal gone now, no one else knows about it.

That asshole… throwing years worth of friendship away and for what? Well, I hope he has fun in the states. Last I heard he was moving to some backward town in the middle of nowhere, so with any luck I won’t hear from him again.

I swing my legs over the side of the bed and push up, heading over towards the window and looking out at the crowds of people swarming through the gardens. All I have to do is get through one more year. Then I’m out of here and I can live my life the way I want to live it.
