…whole life

Let me tell you about Steve. That may or may not be his real name, but I will use it for now. He is 8th grader here in our dorm. He is probably the closest thing to genius-child I have ever known, but he is also one of the most annoying humans I have ever encountered. Steve rarely participates in sports activities, but he is the only one to have beaten Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, along with all the other computer games we have here in the dorm. Does he know he is smart? Does he let anyone else forget it? Last night after watching the Truman Show, he decided that the universe revolved around him, and that we were all merely actors on his stage of life. Wanting to prove his point he promised he would jump out one of the upstairs windows, certain that a net or some other safety device would keep him from harm. Today he did it, only he proved it all a ruse by leaping from the window onto the balcony and took a fall of 4 feet. Somehow he still hurt himself.
