   Summary

   Barkovich was in a tough spot. Due to insufficient credit, he’ll either lose his state scholarship or have to do volunteer work at a college club. Without any money to afford the tuition, he chose to volunteer at the club Stebbins recommended to him.
   The problem is that the club is Barkovich’s worst nightmare. But after a fairly shitty remark from Parker, he decided to endure that, rather than going back home to his family.
