There is no way in hell that happened.

I often think about how the shyest wall flower has his/her circle of friends and years later looking through yearbooks and other memoribilia, someone will always remember them. “Oh yeah, I remember him/her, quiet and shy but a brain—here’s her/his picture RIGHT HERE” or some such remark. Always. No man is an island...
