School friend

My friendship with Paul dates back to secondary school. I’m not sure why I was drawn to him. Maybe it was his My Little Pony back pack or his blue national health glasses. Best of all, his appearance earned him the reputation of the school weirdo, a title I would no longer have to carry alone.

I remember at school, Paul was always getting into trouble for things he didn’t do – like homework, wearing the correct uniform and arriving on time.
