I think people are rating this as if it were a regular BL series with twelve 45-min episodes. Judging it as a short, it's really good.

The castdid a great job of realizing two chracters in 12 minutes, and I really cared what happened. The loser kid was so adorable (he's a dork) and the sad guy did world-weary well. The way the story unfolded was not entirely predictable, even though it went to the "fall and end up with faces too close together" trope which needs to be taken out to a field, soaked in gasoline, and burned. I would have give this an 8 but for that.

Anyway, well worth 12 minutes.
