Chuck Bando is not your average high school senior.

He is a man of contradictions, and he exploits them to his benefit. He can be as sensitive as a delicate flower or as calculating and cold. He can ignore all social conventions yet obsess about keeping up appearances. He can be the life of a party or retreat to a fortress of solitude. He aced all his classes and has gotten into every college he applied to.

He meticulously maintains his hair that never seems to change length to give the appearance that he does not care about his appearance. He recognizes this and the irony is not lost on him. He contemplates whether or not actually not caring about his hair would yield the same results, but he has not found the power to let power go.

Today is Friday night and Chuck's calendar is free. Luckily, people tend to want to hang with him more than he wants to hang with them.
