He skips them to work at the shop for money, but also because it's boring. They tell him that they can advance him to the university (Barton? Or something?), but Michael keeps waiting, holding out hope that Alex might turn up, and he wants to be in high school for that. It's been months since that decision and it's pretty clear that Alex isn't coming, but he's made his bed now.
Besides, there are other interesting people here, like Caleb, who seems like he's from somewhere other than Darrow.
He'd moved out of the group home pretty early on. He remembers homes from back in Roswell and the other cities and knows that he'd rather be homeless, which is why he's been working as much as he can to keep the truck in good shape, to buy a guitar, but then the idea of tutoring for money comes up and he leaps on that, too.
What he's not expecting is any visitors at the shop today, so he doesn't have his books, working on the electrical system of an old truck, greasy and hair a mess as he does.
