Johnny was one of the rich kids in our predominately middle class school but he didn't act like it. He was kind to everyone and had a sparkly personality. We exchanged...
My life is still good. After my internship in Hell, I decided to leave the Guard when my time was up. Even though I am out, the guys and I are still friends.
