It was the first week of high school. Summer passed by really fast and here I was waiting for the bell to ring. I wasn't really eager to be going back to school but at the same time I would get to see friends I hadn't seen during the whole summer. That day started out like any regular school day. He was sitting three desks ahead of mine, though I hadn't known it at first …showed first 75 words of 525 total…

…showed last 75 words of 525 total…told me something I will never forget. He said "You're an a**-hole." Somehow, after those words, saw the whole picture. I realized that I was being a really bad person. I realized that my strengths were being used in the wrong way--the selfish way. From that point on, I took notes from the kid--I watched him and listened--and we've been best friends ever since. Its not your typical story, but at least its original.
