To answer some questions:
Is Cinnamon at a boarding school?
Yes, she is. FUN FACT: I named it after the reporter Denton from the 1992 Newsies movie.
Can you please cameo people from other musicals? (Wicked or Dear Evan Hansen would be appreciated!)
That sounds like a fun idea!
So… nobody is worried about a girl sleeping in a strange boy's dorm?
Chapter 2 explains it a little. Honestly, I didn't think of it all that much, heh… I guess there's a rational explanation for it. I guess Race knew Cinnamon/Cassie would be uncomfortable sleeping in the same room as him, so perhaps he switched rooms? Don't worry, I'll fix that plot hole J
Great, now I'm curious about the patch. (I really hope you're trying to help Race recover from his addiction!)
To explain why he has it, when he was about 12 years old, he would hang out with the wrong crowd, and that got him into smoking. Since he was more oblivious to the dangers of it, he kept smoking. Once he figured out what it could do to your health, which is about a year and a half before the story, so like when he's 14 or 15, he tried to stop. Since it was too hard for him to just cut nicotine out of his system all at once, he's using nicotine patches to get through it. Although he started with a full-strength patch, Race is progressing using weaker and weaker strength patches as time goes on. When Cinnamon arrives, and the story begins, he's on one of the lowest-strength patches, and eventually he's not going to need them at all!
