sooprgrll Friend Biography #2:Adam

I met Adam my freshman year of high school. I was new, he had been in that school system his whole life. I had the new girl funny thing down. He had the class clown thing down. We made fun of each other and got along heartily all 4 years. Adam did impressions, he was particularly adept at mimicking our history teacher who was deaf. It wasn't as mean as it sounds. He had a really warm smile and could put you at ease in no time. He was from the sticks so he did things like 4-H and I'm pretty sure at one point he drove a pick-up truck. We didn't keep in touch all that much after we graduated, ok, not really at all. But I thought fondly on him, something would make me think of him and I would smile and chuckle to myself. Adam was a good guy. A classic good guy. Not ridiculously so, just right. I got a call about 6 months ago from my best friend. I ignored the call. I listened to her message. Adam wrapped his car around a telephone pole and died on the scene. I went home and dug up my yearbooks. I found all of his pictures and cried. I'm still sad about it. I was one of the only kids from our small graduating class that didn't attend his funeral. I wrote a note on the online condolences, there is such a thing. On our online alumni directory his e-mail is still listed.
