so beginning of the story. I'm it. Shane. In 10th grade, months after school starts, my parents decided to move cross country Borg because I mean **** carrot, right? Like he's a month into class. Not like he's one Friday away from being starting ******* forward in the first grade boat match of the season. Not like he has any friends or life there. Anything Flash forward to my first day of this new dump, Second to last period chemistry. Mrs. Bocelli, everyone is setting up for a lamp. I'm lost is ****** because hello, first day, magnesium. What now and then? They're supposed to be four of us to lap, but my group is a person short already, and I'm thinking it might just reported this came about, you know, So my parents could get that your son cut glass phone call, and then I can watch the vein in my mom's for it. Not engorged, because look, she had ******* care So shame. Five minutes after the bell rings, this kid walks in a glass, flops in his chair, drops his bag on the floor, doesn't seem to realize that literally. No one else is sitting down. Everyone's already grooved off in the laps on the perimeter of the room. Mr. Daniels, I suggest if you want today's great, you join your classmates and experiment, and then she points in my group. So Shane gets up, starts walking over, banging into, like, every desk on his way That did your ******* glares, but she doesn't say anything else. So I figured maybe this kid is a regular jagoff and at least I'll be amused for an hour. Well, then he doesn't ******* speak and all it'll Juergen uncoordinated to and yeah, in hindsight, he was totally drunk. But at the time, I thought it was just ******* weird. And when my groups trying to do the experiment and I can tell Shane doesn't give a ****, except then we're in a part of the lab where the rest of us had our hands full and Shane's the only one available, and they would tell him to bring over the tray of test tubes, and I don't know what happened. He reached for him and overshot and the like lurched forward to try catch him and made it 15 times worse knocking over all the other **** in the lab broken. Bigger is glass ******* everywhere. Long story short teaching calls his name a few more times, grabs his backpack off the floor, dumps it onto this desk and a whiskey bottle worlds out. And Shane Shane looks at her dead in the eye and says, **** chemistry. She drags Shane down to the office, spitting about suspension and zero tolerance. And everyone in the class is, like, super amused by it. Oh, yeah, Shane is a fungible right? Credit. Really got is a break from labs, though. So school ends that day, and there is he's still sitting on a bench, looking bitterest. ****. I hang back debating If I want to talk to him, the better a long time, I guess. Because in all the buses leaving Shane science picks up his bag and start dragging as down the sidewalk. I never told him why we became friends in the first place, and I'm a proud of this. Okay, this sounds ******* arigon, but like I was popular ml school, I was but my friends there Well, you know the type. Clean cut. All American sport idiots act like frat boys around their friends and angels around the parents had, as many of those money could buy, all the other shed money could buy, too. Parents felt guilty or something, so they bought me ****. Turns out people want to spend time in your house when you've got pool tables and Jacuzzis and a whole arsenal of air. Soft guns. Then there, Shane. He's on some ******* frat boy. Isn't some angel. He just ****. I hate this. He's just this **** up. Losing it was probably gonna drop out before graduating. Some walk in ways that there goes an opportunity to **** off my parents. I know how that sounds, but look, did you know how frustrating it is to try to **** off your parents when they don't care without, like, ruining their own future? I was about to screw myself over to get revenge. Shane was a last ditch effort. Show them what I could be. Look whom hanging up with now us als keeping, nor me and I'll be the one getting drunk. Suspensions. Shane, he was gonna be my live action bluff followed him all the way home. I kept trying to get him to chat. Told him it was red showing up to class. Like guess who's got two thumbs and don't give a flying **** this guy. Yeah, Shane wasn't evident. I kept telling me to go away. Thing is actually super boring and that I was wasting my time. But come on. And guy shows up trash took chemistry and doesn't eat a **** off. Called himself Born. Nice try, loser. But you just sealed your fate. I'm gonna friend you so hard. Now I'm an *******. I didn't expect the big bowl of sweetness. So Shane, okay? He doesn't advertise that **** on his profile. We get to his house and I still haven't convinced her to hang out with me. And for ****'s sakes than Moby ****** had me charmed. I wanted to hang out with him. Now see what was under all that Moby Nous? Because come on, no one is like that all the time. There was someone cool under there, and I could see it. Then he tells me his old man is home and that a better leaf. I mean, ****, I come from a neighborhood where we call her dad's dad. Just the way he's added to. I told him I wasn't pulling his leg. You really could come out with me, but it says it's better to take care of it now. That would be worse if you waited till later said maybe he'd come out after my dumb as with my pool table. Jacuzzi parents just sitting out there on the sidewalk thinking he'll go in, get his ***, shoot, maybe get grounded sneaking out after Tang when it comes out, like 10 minutes later with a black ******* I off course I freak out. I'm going ballistic because who the **** does that? And she's so invasive, he just goes, Yeah, but it's taken care of. Now, let's go. That acceptance, You know, that ******* acceptance. Just another two states Shane Daniels out. Jesus ******* Christ. So we go back to life, please. Watching him, coming to my house. So getting all the expensive **** I saw his house. Okay, Borderline poverty. That ******* neighborhood. He's just gazing around like he's in a museum. I don't even see my parents. But at this point, I'm beyond screwing them over because this dude clearly needs help. More than any revenge, I get gridlock 700 set up in my counsel learning. This kid is a huge fan as like all the players and staff with the last 10 years memorized. He never played before, and it crushed him on the screen. But he blew me out of the water just with pure freaking knowledge. You know what killed me after we got past all the **** off and leave me alone? Parts. He was such a ******* piece of cake, Miller ****. Never wind or complained. Didn't expect anything of you. He was grateful for, like, ******* human decency. I made him a PBJ that first day, and he blushed while thanking me. Blushed over a ******* peanut butter jelly sandwich. So that's the story of how adopted my shame. Told him to stay a few nights until things blow over with his dad. But then it turns out Corey Daniels has a forecast of always ******* windy. So eventually, I tell him to just be my roommate. Direct the bet from the spare room into my bedroom, and it was like, three months before my mommy, we notice that Shane pretty much never left her house. He never did **** her off either. Too polite against the alcohol. That's the story for another day, I think. But if there's one thing Shane's awesome it spreading your heart a dozen times a year. He wasn't perfect, okay, he wasn't. But it does this thing where it doesn't matter if you break your heart a dozen times a year, because if you need extra heart to glue you respect together, he just kind of hence over a piece of his own. That dude best ******* friending I could ask for.
