I’ve started attending this university as a freshman while he’s been here a long time. As my new roommate, he doesn’t ask me questions about myself but I recognize him immediately.

He talks a lot. Mostly about his job at the local pizza shop and shows me pictures of a few celebrities who have visited.

He doesn’t know that I’m that high school freshman who “beat him up” after school six ago. And him being a junior, was embarrassing (for him). He was mean to me and had it coming.

So much time has passed since then. Best not to bring it up. He’s changed and so have I.
