So in August of '07, a boy died from my school. He was going to be a freshman, and his name was Nick. I didn't know him THAT well, but we had talked a few times. He was hit by a car while riding his bike. I remember hearing about it. At this point he was on life support. I told my mom, but I didn't cry yet. The next morning, he was still on life support, but his mom and step-dad decided to take him off that afternoon. I sat at the kitchen table and sobbed. I yelled, not at my mom, not at anyone, just in general. I remember saying "I prayed for him mom, he was supposed to get better!" I just wanted him to get better. He wasn't mean, he wasn't cruel. He was actually kinda cute. People said it happened for a reason, but I didn't and don't see any reason as to why he had to go. When I went to his funeral, a song was playing. "my Life be Like" My brother was just playing the song, and I almost started crying. My sister was playing the song the other day, and I wanted to run and turn it off as quickly as I could. At his funeral there was also a song from Spongebob, the ripped pants song. I can barely watch Spongebob anymore. I think we talked maybe 3 times. One I remember very distinctly. We were at the Rec Field, where the school plays baseball and softball, and there is a playground and a snack shack. Well I was asking his friend Sean a question (Sean was Lindsey's boyfriend, and Lindsey is my good friend) I think I was asking Sean if he had seen Lindsey. Anyways, I happened to be wearing a Nestle Crunch shirt that day. Nick looked at and said "Do you like Crunch?" I looked at him with a confused look and realize he looked at my shirt. So I say "Actually, no I don't at all." So he goes "Well I'm going to be calling you Crunch from now on." So what I'm getting at is, is it normal for me to be weird about Spongebob and that song, even though I didn't know Nick very well?
