96 Goodbye

I remember it being just after school was out, summer just started and my friends had come over with their console. The four of us sat in front of two tv's, I can't remember what the exact game was, but It was an overhead dungeon crawler and we networked to play together. I remember that moment now, but I didn't feel like it was the same person anymore. 

My three friends were all nerds, but they were cool because they still wanted to hang out with me. I was a hothead, and I was known for getting into fights that I started and finished. That was the reason my friends stayed around, I assumed, but now from the bird's eye view that I had, I saw something else.

All of us were having fun, like legit laughing and cheering playing that stupid game, but it wasn't stupid then. Something changed that made me stop caring about things like that, and that thing happened.
