Made a New Friend

Today it actually snowed. Well, of course it didn't stick, but whatever...
Today Trinity caught Shredder as he was about to punch up this one kid named Maximilian (but everyone calls him Max for short). Max is kind of this nerdy kid. He's a sophomore, and his style is a little whack. He pretends he's all emo, with his hair dyed black and over one eye, but he smiles too much and laughs too much to be emo. He's unpopular. Just bait for Shredder and other bullies to pick on.
One thing's for sure, you can't predict what's going to come out of his mouth or what he's going to do next. Something crazy though.
So Trinity rescued this kid from a serious beating, again thwarting Shredder's usual plan, which I call "garbage in, garbage out".
And the first thing Max says to Trinity after she saves his ass is "Thank god he didn't punch me in the face, because I could have lost my fangs."
So I'm standing there as well, and Max opens his mouth to reveal those type of plastic vampire fangs that you stick over you canine teeth.
He didn't want his face punched in for the sake of Halloween apparel?
So we get to know this kid, Max. He's actually not that bad. Me and Trin hung out with him during lunch, and we got to know a little more about him.
Well, he believes in vampires, and tells us that he thinks he's part vampire.
Yeah. I'll be convinced when he starts floating around in the air. But whatever. Other than those oddities, he's a pretty cool person. You can never get bored around him.
But there's one thing the poor guy lacks. Peer respect. Usually people are throwing him dirty looks (even the freshmen pick on him) and one guy said that he should take off his Halloween costume, because Halloween passed.
One intimidating look and he clammed up. As it goes, nobody messes with Red Starbird and Trinity Farbane. We were like Max's bodyguards.
So we ended up exchanging emails, and already he had emailed me, telling me about vampires, and a bunch of other random stuff.
So in a nutshell, I made a new friend today. Ulric met him too, and doesn't like him too much. He's pokes fun at him, like everyone else.
Speaking of which, I gotta go see where that wolf is. Hopefully not near my Halloween candy (can you believe he already finished his all off?)
More later.
