Love is overrated

Ben was thrilled to have a brother, but when he found out Wyatt was an ass, the only thing they did was play basketball or football and exchange greetings. Wyatt's mom passed away when we were in the eighth grade, she died of breast cancer. The news of her death caused consternation among all of us at Westlake high, even the people that didn't like him felt bad. Wyatt and I became friends at the time, and I felt bad for the guy. But after weeks went by he got over it and went back to his normal ass like self. "He's back" I remembered Amanda sayWe caught him teasing, Billy Caswell for being fat. And surprisingly, Billy lost a lot of weight in the 11th gradeWe were at the parking lot, the basketball players bid Ben goodbye, Amanda began to search her bag for the bottles of vodka we stole from the store, when she got them out she gave a loud, "Hazza!" But in a Sharpay Evans kind of way. She began to pour some in the red paper cup, she took from her house."Here ya g

I guess he thought I was a lunatic already, he's got potential, and he seemed like a nice guy."Have fun, Nate!" Ms. Dabny yelled.I sighed and said, "ok Ms. Dabny" cute lady in her sixties

She was out there working hard to ensure we were all safe in the country. The army is not a place I would want to be. But if only she were here, I wonder what she would have said about me going to a party.I heard Amanda's horn, it was time. I could feel my heart racing like I was on stage in front of an audience. In fact, being in front of an audience was better than a party.I rushed downstairs to meet my psycho best friend who forcefully dragged me into this mess. She was sitting in her car like the devil she was smiling like an evil lunatic."Oh my God, you look, awesome bro," She said, and she looked stunning hers
