He blocked my path. “I can’t believe this! Two hours ago you were the man. The man!
The whole school was on their knees before you! Now look at you. You’re, like, a social hazard.”
He snorted and said, “And, dude, the truth is, if you’re gonna be like this, I don’t need the association.”

Not to Garrett or Shelly or Miranda or any of the other people who wouldn’t understand.
Juli was different, but after all these years that didn’t bother me anymore. I liked it. I liked her.
