[ Charlie has no love in his heart for most everything about Welton, but if forced, he could begrudgingly admit that the campus is beautiful. Especially in autumn, early on in the school year when the air is still crisp with possibility and they haven't yet been beaten down by coursework and demerits.
They've always done this. Found pockets of time after classes, after clubs and councils, to sneak away from the prying eyes of staff and peers alike and hide in plain sight. Disused storage rooms and supply closets work in a pinch, but Charlie will always prefer this: The pockets of campus they've found through years of exploring together that seemingly exist only for them.
The cave is one. Repurposing it for the Dead Poets Society, still in its nascent stages, means too many people know about it now. This thicket of trees tucked behind a small hill is another. There's a clear view out to one of the ponds just outside the campus limits, and the beginnings of the sunset reflect over the surface. Long streaks of warmth bleed slowly through the darkening sky as Charlie waits for Neil to meet him here, settled back against the trunk of one of the pine trees. ]
