Kei Yokoyama was never supposed to become important.
When I first knew of him in sixth grade, he was just some kid from another school who happened to know one of my friends. We didn't talk, we weren't friends, and I barely paid attention to him.
Then, somehow, he learned my name.
And from there, things got weird.
What started with one ridiculous joke turned into years of hallway chaos, rumors, inside jokes, friendships, arguments, crushes, relationship drama, gossip, and a friendship neither of us probably expected to have.
This is the story of how Kei went from a random kid I barely knew to one of the most memorable people in my middle school years.
A story about friendship, growing up, and the people who somehow become part of your life when you least expect it.
Based on a true story. Names and certain identifying details have been changed for privacy.
