When I was 17 in school (sixth form) there were some girls who kept chatting shit about me behind my back. there was this tall, very loud guy who went by "D" who'd always seem to be shouting things at random people in the hallways so I tried to avoid crossing paths with him. one day D caught these girls chatting shit about me and he came up to me and told me about them. we became friends and he'd always step in to defend me. after we became friends nobody dared to chat shit about me. everytime we crossed paths in the hallway he'd yell "YOOOOO" followed by "saaafe maan" and either do a thumbs up or a slow fist bump. he ended up asking me out one day but i said idk if I'm ready for a relationship and he was understanding about it. this was in like 2010 so it was a looong time ago. i hope wherever he is he's doing well
