I was in his science class that year.

We learned about space.

We became table partners.

He said if I needed any help to ask him.

So I asked him what happens when a star dies.

I had never seen someone's eyes get so wide.

He said he had no idea.

We both failed our science test.

With a bright red circled 'F' on the paper.

But we both just laughed.

I think that's when we started to become friends.

I was so happy.
