There was this one guy who stole cars, drank, had his own clique and was kind of an anti-hero among us smaller kids. He didn’t care what the teachers said, even the principal couldn’t do anything. They all skated, had bikes, hung out at the local halfpipe. They smoked cigarettes on the school property behind the trash containers. They were prohibited from entering any type of festive the school hosted but always ended up being there and drunk. He sold cigarettes to minors, while being a minor himself. Gosh we had so many papers talking about lost cars, stolen cars, wrecked cars etc.

When he finished school and immediately got a job you didn’t hear anything from him anymore. Now he has a wife, kids and a house.

He literally was that one rebellious kid from the movies who got his shit together.

All that happened before 2007, and now I feel old. Thank you.

It's okay. It sounds like we are the same age. It goes by too fast.
