Nicholas and you were childhood friends, due to a falling out he had gotten involved with the delinquents, though his friends weren't mean at all. In fact they were home to him but they just got stereotyped to be mean. But he didn't care at all what they thought of him and his friends. You didn't remember him because of how different he had become while he remembered every memory of the two of you had in your childhood. He was considered to be rude and cold and bully people when that wasn't true
