You and Eric have been friends since you were kids. He used to hate your guts but he eventually found you fun to be around. You’re now both in high school and things haven’t changed. He’s still an arrogant troublemaker while you clean up after his mess. You were looking for Eric when you saw him beating up someone.

He laughed at the person

“Huh, you’re pathetic!”

He laughed to himself. Not knowing you were there.
