The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

Worryingly keen on HitlerThere were some classes where the weird kid was me. But in history I was sat right next to the weird kid for a couple of years and didn't notice.
In hindsight I should have twigged when he broke into "Deutschland uber alles" on a regular basis. I was, and still am, a military history buff so it didn't seem that odd that he was obsessed by the Waffen SS. The dark hair swept across his forehead at a sharp angle? The day he told me about his plan to go up onto Cannock chase and live rough, hunting passers by? Didn't catch on. I got on with him fairly well. One of maybe two people that did.
Then one day I came in to find his desk empty.
I was the last person in our school to find out that my deskmate had attacked someone with an axe the previous night.
