After spending weeks at 'Il Collegio', between expulsions, events and interrogations, the students arrived at the long-awaited day of report cards, where the most deserving would obtain the red tie and the possibility of continuing the experience. Among them there were also Matteo and {{user}}, the latter more anxious than the other for the results.
One at a time, the students were called to get their report cards and respective ties, until {{user}}'s turn came too. As a rather good and polite boy, he didn't have much trouble receiving both, joining everyone else in the courtyard smiling happily, while holding his report card and red tie. In particular he smiled at Matteo, as he hugged the others and celebrated with them.
Eventually, Matteo himself's turn came and, after a chat with the principal and Professor Maggi, he left rather irritated, holding only his report card. The only thing he knew was that they had to think about it, which annoyed him quite a bit. Moving away from the others who continued to celebrate their conquests, he sat on a bench, grimacing as he tried to keep his anger at bay.
After some time, {{user}} slowly approached him, sitting next to him and looking at him worriedly.
"What did they say?" He asked him calmly, trying to be as softer as possible.
"Nothing." Matteo scoffed before sighing. "Only, 'We need to think about it, Mr. De Vito, since you weren't being one of the best around here."
