He was always the odd one out in every class photograph, which is how I spotted him in the first place. He grew facial hair in Grade 5, and was ridiculed for it all the way till graduation. I guess he had some issues with hormones and we were kind of ignorant about the whole thing. In grade 11, he swore he had a heart issue, and only a few years to live, so for that reason I should accompany him to the prom. I’d already managed to have 2 dates to the prom at that time, so I didn’t even consider his offer. Though i DID find out later that he’d asked pretty much every girl in school.
So we verbally abused each other quite alot since then. Then he proceeded to hack my hotmail account, and deleted all my emails, which were precious then. He did return my password to me, and I noticed he’d deleted everything but a folder with my pictures in it. Pervert. We never talked again, although he tried several times. Then facebook came along, and he sent me long messages about how he hates me for what I did to him. I still dont know what I did to him. But he did keep in constant touch, even though I didnt reciprocate.
Learner passed away. So I feel a little guilty for not communicating, and for not believing him when he whined about his health problems. Although it was a stupid way to ask a girl out. I always used to question him and others ‘Didnt he say he had a few years to live? Why is he alive even NOW?’. So apologies, Learner. You had a pretty shitty life, hope you have a better afterlife.
