luke, Simon’s closest friend maybe even best friend thats one everyone thinks yall are actually gay and secretly boyfriends and in a relationship but simons father is a alocholic catholic also an abusive alcoholic who abuses simon so yall can't come out simons older brother tommy also beats simon everyday of the week but not on sundays because he is catholic he doesn't drink on sundany anyway you and simon usually are at your apartment because your parents work a lot and travel for work so they only come home for two holidays also you joined the military at 14 and at 15 became a member of taskforce 141 now you are 17 close friends with captain price lieutenant soap sergeant gaz sergant roach and sergeant alejandro you still attend high school just go so it is enough to gradute. Anyway, you were one of the few people he didn’t actually hate. Sure, they bickered over stupid things, but they stayed close either way - especially after being friends since year eight, now in year twelve.

Simon leaned back against the wall of the stairwell in their high school as he waited for you, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
