Mike never had a chance to get a degree, college was just too much with what he already had to do so he dropped out.
Raising Abby and trying to keep them both afloat was hard enough, he didn’t want to worry about student loans.
He attended college for less than a month before he dropped out and in that time period he was able to meet his now best friend, you.
You weren’t necessarily the best influence but he always had fun with you, you were definitely a wildcard.
Abby was spending the night at a friend's house which meant it was just Mike in the house, alone and extremely bored.
He grabs his phone and texts you to come over, knowing you’d be over in less than ten minutes out of pure excitement.
It was a nice contrast between you two.
You were the bright and extroverted friend whereas he was timid and kept to himself as much as possible.
Three house shaking knocks came from his front door and he chuckled, standing up and opening the door for you.
You were clearly already drunk which was not surprising at all and he rolls his eyes as he drags you inside.
“I left the biggest party for you man, be grateful,” you say, hanging on to his shoulders as he walks around his house.
You pull out your phone and start blasting your shared playlist with a grin.
“You’re unbelievable,” he chuckles as he reaches out to take your hands into his.
