so this might be triggering idk i mention death and sexual assault so be warned

in eighth grade when i first came to my new school i became friends with this guy. kind of edgy, definitely a weeb, but y'know he put up with my random bs. at some point we stopped being friends bc he did something (i don't even remember what) and it just became a habit for me to avoid him.

i never approached him again bc he was homophobic and i didn't want to be friends with him bc of that.

except until this year. i am in sophomore year, in case y'all weren't aware of how im babie.

i got a messed up schedule and they put me in audio broadcast instead of video broadcast, which had this guy in it. at the beginning i was super on edge bc he kept trying to talk to me and i was like wtf who do you think you are, we aren't friends

and then we got assigned a bunch of projects together and i actually started seeing how much we had in common (both musicians and stuff like that)

we've been talking a lot. i know a lot about him, like how many people he's lost and the shit he's been through, and im really thinking about it like wtf he's a hero

he broke his arm to save a cat from getting run over. he regularly checks in on a kid he rescued from a car accident to make sure she's recovering okay. he's done all of this and saved all of these people and yet won't let me tell him that he's a hero.

his friend died today. shot in the stomach by a group of guys trying to rape a girl at a gas station.

he wants to start a charity. so i guess the point of this is to ask how exactly to start a charity and uh, spread the word?
