I’ve known Brad since the 6th grade. He was always with the popular crowd in middle school, but gave me attention sometimes because I was in most of his classes. Also, being in the gifted/talented program with him gave us the chance to interact even more. This boy is intelligent, but he still gets a big kick out of doing outrageous things like dragging garbage cans to our high school. We remained friends throughout high school and occasionally got together to *uck things up. He graduated Valedictorian of our class, and I didn’t. Right now he is living the good life. He is attending college at Tulane, has a loving girlfriend, and a house to himself. He is majoring in microbiology, and plans on going to medical school like me, but he has a better chance of getting in.
