six of one
Even Bech Næsheim survived high school at Nissen, but just barely, and with a lot of help from the school nurse, Astrid Skrulle. Now, about 18 years later, he considers her a mentor, friend, and the person whose office he's taking over when school starts in August. He's back at Nissen with a new generation, and he's determined to help them survive.
Though they probably crossed paths in the hallway when they were students, Even never met Isak Valtersen. But going through the roster of students Even is now responsible for, his surname and its accompanying gossip have reappeared. It quickly becomes clear that their paths will cross properly this time, thanks to the first-year girl staring him down from the other side of his desk. While Even is a grown-ass adult with a grown-ass medical license, he's also back in Skrulle's office, surrounded by teenagers, wondering how he's going to survive.
