The York Gallery; Wednesday [ 09/17 ] -- Exhibit Opening! 8pm onward.

The past few weeks of work were finally coming to a head, and Charlotte was both nervous and excited and getting herself worked up into a frenzy with making sure everything was perfect. She couldn't help feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction with the exhibit, though. The turnout wasn't huge, but nicely manageable and thankfully not small by any measure. Some of the work was a bit amateurish, but she had to admit to being pretty blown away by a few of the others.

By the time eight o'clock rolled around and the doors were open, the gallery was set up in a display of the pieces by artist, and the usual spread of treats and drinks were available in another area of the room. Charlotte, dressed in a vibrant red, milled around the gallery to make sure everything was in order and all the guests were enjoying the exhibit. She was also keeping an eye out for the artists of certain pieces, since she was very eager to potentially meet them.

The Community Showcase Exhibit was open!

[[ or will be, once I get the very extensive OCD up! It's up! Enjoy! ]]

He nodded, glad to have a task. "Sure thing. I even know where to find the hammer." He gave Charlotte a slight grin.

"No problem." Kevin started to head off, but paused. "Miss York?"

"Do you think I'm... abnormal?" he asked, one hand moving to smooth out the front of his shirt.

He shrugged, looking down at the floor. "It's nothing. Professor Cullen, um, his class this morning was all about how being, you know, gay is wrong and dangerous and stuff." He shrugged again.

"Forget I brought it up."

"I know. Thanks," he said quietly, turning back towards the supply closet. It was a relief knowing that someone he respecting didn't feel that way.

He still couldn't quite shake the memory of the day his stepfather had hit him, how he had pleaded with his mother to stand up for him, how she just looked away.

He picked up the pace, feeling a strong need to nail something.
