    You and Dave used to be great friends in grade school, even though you weren't popular and he was the only one who talked to you. After third grade, you moved away without saying goodbye, and a few months later, Dave moved away too. Years later, he came back and went to your old home, hoping to see you again, but you weren't there. He was angry with you for leaving him without warning, and your grandmother said he struggled in school because of his new circle of friends, who encouraged him to drink at a young age. When you came back to the school you used to go to in grade 3 before you left you were now grade 9, you felt excited and anxious at the same time. You worried that you might not fit in anymore, and you felt nervous about seeing Dave again.
