A Strange Turn of Events

Subs take it up the butt
You always hear stories on how someone who was a bully in school grew up, meets the person they bullied and apologizes for how much of a fucktard they were as a kid. Hell, it's a common trope for movies and TV.
But then it happened to me today.
I was at my new job doing my stuff when the next customer recognized me from fucking 5th grade! Holy BALLS as if I wasn't feeling old enough! I didn't remember him though, but he told me that he was kind of a dick to me when we were kids and he actually apologized to me! I was bullied a lot in my school years, but I'd never imagine that someone from my past would actually apologize for making my childhood shit at school. It's....kind of uplifting really. Even then, I didn't hold a grudge against him because it was so long ago and I'm basically an adult now. He seemed relieved hearing that.

I may feel related to Benjamin Clawhauser in a lotta stuff, but when Gideon showed up as an adult I nearly cried, since I used to be a bully in primary school and that was exactly my reaction years later.
I'm really so glad you two got to close this chapter, dude.
Now if it was someone who really broke me back then like in high school...
