It is a good thing that I am not Head Boy, because if I were, and if I ever found out who said some of the things written on the anonymous post, I would have you in detention until I graduate. Vector would need to take my badge from me to stop the endless parade of punishment.

[Warded to Ravi, Wes, Sun-mi, Ty, Levi, Reece, and Cecil.]

I was supposed to keep this a secret until Ricardo could tell two of you in particular... but I do not care. Ravi, Levi, you are going to be invited to the wedding by Ric. Ty, Wes, I am inviting you as my two guests. Sun-mi, you are being invited as a family friend. Reece... you are coming for obvious reasons, and the following rules don't necessarily apply to you.
You may each invite a date. Except you, Cecil. You are the date. I am making assumptions by including you without asking anyone, and none of you will stop me.

It will take place over spring break (March 11th through the 19th) but the wedding ceremony/reception/event will take place the 16th though the 18th. You only need to show up for those dates.

You may come earlier or stay that final night if you like, but it will just be me, doing what I normally do. Except this time, it will be in Mexico and it won't work when I try to remove points. [...] I might take you sightseeing. But I can't take you clubbing or partying. I would get in trouble.

Travel, food, and accommodations will be provided. There will be an open bar, and no one is going to ID you.

Suits or dresses will be provided as well, if you are afraid you don't have something to wear.

There will be paparazzi. I am not famous, but my family is. They will still take photos.

Everyone will be speaking primarily Spanish, but many of them know English as well.
Any questions?

[Warded to Leo]

I have two questions for you.

Would it be ironic or simply gratifying if your hypothetical tenure as Head Boy prompted a rule change regarding his ability to assign detention?

[Same Ward]
[...] I'm trying to imagine Ricardo's reaction when he learns you've preempted his wedding invitations with a bulleted list of rules.

I would be proud. I would insist they name it after me.

[Same Ward]
He would hate it. It is why I did it.

Right before I leave I am going to tell him I already told you and Levi. Seconds before I step onto that bus, "By the way, Rico, do not bother sending invitations to Ravi and Levi. Oh, it just came up in conversation. They have all the details, yes. I handled it."

The Ramirez Amendment. Even better, Ms. Vector would likely ask you to help draft it.

[Same Ward]
Ah, well. I suppose you're only being a helpful brother. He and Cristiane must be dealing with a tremendous number of details right now. ~~I almost hoped he'd forget to invite me~~

...Anyway, so long as we're doing things which would annoy Ricardo, I may offer my "date" spot to someone else, in case someone in this ward wants to bring an extra guest. I wouldn't mind.

It would be longer than the initial rule about the Head Boy and Girl giving detention.

[Same Ward]
Yes, that's absolutely why I did this. Tell Rico that when he sends you an owl complaining.

Denied. You hold onto your +1 for later. You are not allowed to give it away.

Did we time it to see how long it took for Ravi to try to give away his date? I am very impressed.

My +1 is going to remain woefully unused, you two. It seems like a waste.

Ah, but so much can change in a few months, yes? I am remaining hopeful.

The only thing that's changing is I find out which of these seven Healer programs have chosen to admit me. Assuming the answer isn't seven rejection owls, I will definitely not have any time for finding a date.

But very well, I know better than to argue with you both. Who will you be asking, Sun-mi?

Tch, you are no fun at all. Remind me what age you have calculated that it is okay to start dating at?

There is still plenty of time to decide, yes? I think I may secretly be spending too much time on my studies because I do not have a good candidate in mind.

22 at the earliest. I'll have finished my training program and be hired at a hospital by that time. (I'm joking, Sun-mi.)

Have I told you lately how proud I am of you?

You are hilarious.

You should hold off your praises. The wedding is sooner than graduation. Clearly I need to adjust my priorities.

+1s should not be a thing. I still don't know what to do with mine and my sister is probably going to lose it if I don't bring somebody.

No, no. Cristiane would never... Well. "Never" is probably too strong a word here.

Maybe you'll find someone and have fun, Reece. It's a long way to March, and you don't want to be stuck with us seniors that whole time.

She'd never pass up an opportunity to try to set me up on an awkward date, is what.

She's ruthless. I've seen it in LARP. The only way to stop Cristiane is to find someone to invite before she does it for you.

Failing that, you could always fake your death first.

I think it is fine to bring someone who is "just a friend", yes? It is not your wedding, so it does not have to be so serious?

If they look good in photos, this is probably a plus.

I think the photos thing is probably 89% of it.

There are many cute girls in your class. It is not such a bad problem to have.

Same here, dude. Nothing wrong with going stag. (I assume.)

Tch, no, you cannot all be so boring.

Well, I don't have a girlfriend, so...? ~~And even if I wanted to bring a friend-date, it's not like I could bring Quinn to this. Awkward.~~

Besides! I'm sure I can find someone willing to hang out and dance with me once we get there. If nothing else, it sounds like Ravi'll be available; he's a good dancer, right?

An adequate dancer. Merely adequate... but probably willing. It is a wedding, I suppose.

But this makes me regret that I can't ask you as my plus-one, Ty. If you're not careful, Rafael's going to see this too and then it'll be him and Sun-mi insisting that you need to find a date.

Maybe I am not so good at fancy rules, but is it really so necessary to bring a serious date? It is a big fancy party in Mexico! Anyone would be happy to accompany, yes?

Ravi is very enjoyable to dance with. I highly recommend it!

He is very slippery. But if he goes alone, I am going to introduce him to a beautiful cousin of mine. How is that for a threat?

If I do not find a date, will you make a similar threat for me?
