Caught Red-handed









"Hey camper!" said the angry video game nerd when he suddenly pulled me out of my chair. Admittedly he caught me by surprise as I was still playing against him in the game. When I joined the match, I had recognized his username right away as he was still using the same old handle as he did 6 years ago. It took certain pride to call yourself 'NerdMaster22'.

It was hard to keep my poker face when he started ranting on about how lame I was, he was still the same old sore loser as I fondly remembered him to be. Still, he had changed a lot since then, besides the glasses and the extra weight. It was hard to believe this was still the same Andrew Middleton that I used to hang out with back in high school. I don't even think he recognizes me anymore.
