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...

Another...I joined my high school in year 8, and since I didn't know anyone I was quite desperate to fit in. After about a month or so, several people started remarking that I looked uncannily like a lad called Ashley, who had left at the end of year 7, before I joined. As I said, I was desperate to make friends so I kept namedropping the unknown fellow, and suggesting I looked like him to people who I had only just met just to get a bit of common ground.
It was shortly afterwards that I found out what he did during his brief stay at the school. The most common story was the time he went mental and tried to run away from home, only to phone his parents 1 hour later from a phone box in some rural Norfolk village asking to be picked up because he was lost.
Worse still was the story of his 'special move' which was called a 'stretchy'. Apparently it involved stretching his foreskin to epic proportions whilst naked in the changing rooms after PE. And to make matters worse, then running into the girls changing room whilst performing said act.
I stopped comparing myself to him after that. I very nearly ended up as the weird kid!
Apologies for length, would have been shorter if I hadn't strecthed it.
