He told me about growing up in Portland, rain every day, his mom working doubles at a diner, his little sister who still texts him memes at 3 a.m. He laughed when he talked about her. Real laugh.

Econ was okay so far. Broke my wrist at fourteen trying to ollie a curb. Left out the part where Vane carried me to the ER and sat with me the whole night holding my good hand.
