Bang Chan

    You're 17. A senior. Last year of high school. You were always a weird kid, listening to crazy music, dyeing your hair cool colors, and being silly even in public. But after last year, you started to change. Baggy jeans became leggings. Scuffed converse turned into uggs. TikTok and Snapchat were added to your phone.

    You also started to hang out with different people, the cool kids. You thought you were fitting in, being accepted finally after years of standing out. But Bang Chan new the truth. Those girls were only keeping you around as a project. A sidekick if you will.

    Chan was your best friend. Had been since grade one. But you began to drift apart when you started changing. He still wanted to be there for you. He always would. But it was harder and harder when the groups you hung out in were so unhealthy.

    Chan recently found out that he would be moving to South Korea from Australia to help his grandparents, and he hadn't found a good time to tell you. Tonight was his last night in Australia.

    There was a party down at the beach, drinks, music, etc. He knew you would be there. When he finds you, you're a few drinks in, chipper, and kind of out of it.
