Back in the day, about two years ago, I used to be a prankster. One day while Johnny and I were eating lunch in the cafeteria because there was a dust storm outside, we noticed there was a new kid in school. He sat alone on the floor in the corner of the cafeteria with no lunch, looking like a depressed underfed vampire. His body was frail, his skin was pale, and he wore black skinny jeans with a leather jacket. I thought he was gay because he wore eyeliner, which is for girls. I ignored him at first and continued to enjoy my roast beef sandwich, but Johnny insisted that we introduce ourselves and invite him to sit with us.

“If he wanted company, he’d go and find it,” I said.

“He’s sitting alone because he’s afraid of approaching people and being rejected,” Johnny said. “I’m going to go over there and talk to him.”

“Really,” I complained. “He looks like the Grim Reaper’s child.”

“Come on, Collins,” Johnny said as he got up from his chair.

We walked over to the new kid and sat down next to him.

“Hi, I’m Johnny, and this is Collins,” Johnny said, “Welcome…What’s your name?”

“Vincent,” he said.

And that’s the day Vincent joined the dynamic duo, which was now an unfortunate trio. It took me a while to get used to Vincent hanging around us because he was so different. He didn’t like sports, girls, or food, which made it difficult for me to relate to him, so I got annoyed that he was hanging out with us all the time. He would always put a damper on a happy lunch by reading us his depressing love poems that he wrote. They were all about the same thing, a girl that died, which made me wonder why he had to write about it so many times. It got boring after a while, so I shared with him the poetry that I grew up with…Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent. Finally, we had a way we could relate to each other. I introduced him to rap music, and he liked a lot of it, and he introduced me to death metal, which gave me a headache. I even saw his father, the Grim Reaper, on the cover of several Children of Bodom albums.

Everyone got along fine for two weeks until we all attempted to pull off a prank on Principal Brock, which was my idea. Principal Brock always drank a Diet Pepsi with his lunch, so I thought it would be funny if we put Mentos in it. Johnny and I were the distraction. We pretended to start a fight with each other in the main hall, and Principal Brock rushed over to break it up. While he was lecturing us about how this school had a strict no-violence policy, Vincent put a Mentos in his soda and resealed it. I saw him leave the principal’s office, which meant that he was finished doing his part.
