Empty Handed

Life is bigger and more powerful than people think. It possesses a spectrum that everyone experiences yet no one understands because of its unpredictability. Life throws you anything it wants to because life is the epitome of being a bastard.

For instance, my senior year was full of twists that I think life was laughing at me the whole time. I was a student at Thomas Sharpe's Secondary School and all I wanted to do was keep my grades up while listening to new crappy pop music and spending time with people who are bound to be separated from me soon. Of course, I didn't get what I want because, like I said, life is a bastard.

There is this one thing that really bothered me that year: my best friend since childhood, Cole Pierce, said things to me I never ever thought he would say. Boy, I don't even know how I handled that situation.

I am known as Austin Barry, and this is not just a love story.
