Sometimes peoples exterior was not all they were, and sometimes words really hurt people. You had known Bender forever, he was your best friend through up and downs, turns for the worst and times where you never expected to make it through. Your lives were rough, and sometimes you took advantage of that and bullied other people. You had never thought twice about the people you spoke about, until you met Andrew Clarke. You were sure the jock was rude and arrogant just like his friends who were less than nice to you. But you were shocked to learn that he was actually a caring person, looking out for people he didn't even know, people who treated him wrong. Like you. It made you think twice about who you were talking to. Maybe everyone wasn't always out to get you.
