High School is a trying time for everyone. It's a weird melting pot of people from all walks of life trying to find their place in the world. I had one friend who was an underclassman. it was one of those friendships where you could openly joke with eachother. One where you were always welcome over eachother's houses. Every weekend we would meet at his place with food and play vidya. I was kinda like a mentor to him in a way. I helped him through tough times.
We used to watch anime or cartoons together. Our favorites were Dragonball and Samurai Jack. We maintained contact even when I graduated. We got to watch the premier of every episode of Season 5.
That last episode kinda touched me. I saw it as the peaceful death of my childhood and the entrance of a new chapter in my life. After the episode, we bid our goodbyes as always. My friend was sad I had to return to college for a bit but I told him I'd always come back to see him for his graduation this year.
He never got to graduate. Drunk driver. It still feels like yesterday.
