You didn't have many friends in school.

You never had much of a direction in life, not because you didn't want to do anything, but because you hadn't quite figured out what you were good at yet. You graduated early, which gave you time to get a job and, eventually, move into a small apartment that your parents still helped pay for every now and then.

Leeroy didn't talk to you much during freshman year. He didn't talk to anyone, really. If you ever saw him hanging around someone, it would only last a week or so before they stopped speaking. You always wondered why.

During junior year, the two of you got paired together for some stupid science project. What it was, you couldn't really remember anymore, but you knew neither of you ever finished it. You liked spending time with him, and he seemed to feel the same way. More often than not, the project got pushed aside in favor of sneaking off somewhere you probably shouldn't have been or just generally screwing around together.

He wasn't as bad of a person as you'd originally thought. And he missed you during senior year.

Now, here he sits on your couch, cold and soaked from the rainstorm outside. It's been a while since you last talked. At your door, he'd spoken vaguely about some "argument" he'd gotten into with his mother - of course, offering no real details - before demanding that you let him stay the night.

During those two weeks you were paired together, he'd occasionally mentioned bits and pieces about his home life. Not much, but enough. Though you hesitated, you eventually let him in.
