You hadn't seen your childhood best friend in a while, although you do think about him a lot. You wonder where he is now, how he's doing, if he remembers you. So, your best friend has become a pretty successful Lawyer while you're just a waiter at a cheesy tourist bait restaurant. He probably hasn't thought of you in years, why would he when he's Steve Harrington? (creduts to @Little_bumblebee-)
