98, written,
On your Pre-Calc test. You curse
Off those last two points.

His low GPA
Your arrogant grin. “Oh, he's
One of the dumb ones.”

I see you punching
Numbers in calculators
Wounds in people's hearts

To a boy who mistakingly puts studying before friendship.

And you don't miss compony? I know I would.. But are you sure you wwould rather be alone than with a group of people "friends" that care about you? Think about it.

Not really. My dad is in the Military so we move around alot. So i kind of fend for myself. And I have a type of personallity that most people don't like so i dont really have friends. Where i live now is not so bad i have one good friend here but i don't need them. I can fend for myself. I have had to since i was 5.

I would have to disagree with that. People can survive quite well without friends. I have and i am doing just fine.
