A boy I once knew
This is the beginning

This is the beginning

It all starts in a world similar to our own, with a boy, growing in a world where it is expected to learn on his own, and understand in his own way. He was raised passively by his father while his mother smoked  but alas his father was allergic to the smoke of the cigs, they divorced while the boy was in the fourth grade. He didn't and still doesn't know why. Alas he pushed on not knowing why mommy and daddy seperated. As life kept on, his mother moved to a yellow house down the road and started dating like most people do. His mother wouldn't bring the men home while her four boys were at the house. And his father contemplated taking his own life when the divorce happened but powered through for his children. Both parents claimed to love him, Eric and his siblings lived a life of normalcy but it wa anything but, later on that though. Eric was so mean from the tender age of three till ten years of age. He started to gather more and more friends, he just wanted to be friends with everyone. as he got older he saw the world differently, everything started when he was seventeen, he started to realize the corruption of the world, but I get sidetracked yet again. Minor events happened all the time, he switched schools twice, from a public school to a private school in 5th grade till midway through 6th grade year he went back to public school as he didn't want to do the homework assigned to him.  As he got into seventh grade he had started to go through puberty, asking a male friend of his if he could suck said friends dick, and the other boy being a horny preteen agreed,  they both didn't know what they were doing so it was awkward for both parties, but they fell out of contact after 8th grade, and for Eric going into highschool worried him endlessly, he tried hard to appease the few frineds he had due to moving in sixth grade, but a close frined of his asked if he would like to go out with her, and he didn't know what to do, so he responded as the only way a horny teen could, he agreed.  Their relationship was strained as all relationships are in school, the relationship would collapse in a year and a few months.  but Eric had gotten the courage to join the schools football team in 8th grade and had played only once. He had been bullied while on the team after practice, and his friend joined as well. he had felt great when he played and practiced, but in the start of the championship, his school played against the best team in the league, the pitbulls, the highschool where he went as a little kid. He asked his coach restlessly if he could join the team, but the coach said "No, we need our best on the feild." Eric had felt aggrieved that the coach would run his teammates ragged and not let him or any others play. He told the coach, "Our players are ragged, they NEED a break coach." The coach being an adult had viewed the child's opinion as hogwash, unneeded. Little did anyone know that the coach would have a heartattack on the way home after the game. It had affected Eric enough that he didn't want to play the next year. As the school year went on he reached out to others in the highschool. He had joined a TTG club (Table Top Game), and had made friends with most kids there, the important kid he met there was Griffen.  He made friends with other random people, Maddie and Colin, who were at first scared of Eric because they feared that Eric was a school shooter, but eventually realized otherwise.  Sophmore year had started and he had started getting bullied again being called names, being tackled to the floor, and other physical activities. One day though Eric had had enough He had warned Zach (the bully) to not touch him, but Zach patted the kids shoulder. Eric had snapped with just a small burst of anger, in a swift motion Eric had turned in his seat stabbing Zach with a crayola marker, causing the kid to bleed, and Eric then returned to the work that he was doing without a blink of sympathy.  Zack however continued calling him names in Eric's final and only other class they had together, not only that but the whole class found amusement at Eric's expense. But he dealt with the insults and names easily. Eric's relation with his father had been poor, and his father always taught him that violence was the wrong thing to respond with, so anytime Eric would think of violence He'd mentally shame himself for the thoughts.  Griffen had been harrasing Eric whenever they had club or class together, but occasionally Eric would get a day of respite, the classes Griffin had with Eric freshmen year was health class, Sophmore year was the only year without griffin harrasing him, Junior year came, it was chemistry, and senior year Mythology. Torwards griffin, Eric had started to realize that Griffin hadn't been roughhousing with him but it could be rather considered bullying in the senior year, and Eric didn't care, because Griffin would never do that.  As the year went on he was tolerant torwards Griffin, just taking the "minor" mental abuse Griffin had inflicted. However that had changed, as in the third nine weeks Griffin and Eric had gotten into an altercation, (I say altercation because it didn't last longer than three total blows. Griffin hitting Eric with his own glasses, Eric open palm smacking Griffin and Griffin punching Eric in the jaw, which would be sore for the three days he was suspended.  He and Griffin quickly fell out of contact. and There was a major world event in the fourth nine weeks that made schools nationwide close, albiet temporarily, but by the time the schools opened up, the seniors would have been considered graduates.
