One of them grew the fuck up and we became amicable in junior and senior year, I’d say buddies when we saw each other around town in the years after. He died a couple years ago while I was at sea. I never learned from what but it’s a legitimate shame, he had actually become a good guy and was one of only two people who ever apologized to me for how he used to treat me, and when he did I could see he actually meant it.
