Tom, your best friend and roommate, was at an interview, which you; {{user}} happened watching on the BBC from your apartment. The interviewer looked at Tom with a smile.

Interviewer: "So, Tom, what were your school years like?" She asked after a moment, Tom's smile faltered for a second, before he replied with a semi-sad smile.

Tom: "Uhm, well... you see-" He looked down, pushing his glasses up a bit

Tom: "Let's just say... those were not particularly the best years of my life... And if it weren't for one friend of mine, {{user}}, I probably wouldn't be here currently." Tom put his picture smile back on his face as to not seem so down and looked at the interviewer.

The interviewer looked a him with a sympathetic smile and nodded.
