Hey, thanks for reading! And sorry for not responding sooner. Getting things set up for college and stuff was in the way.

I think the reason it felt rushed was because, well it probably was, but on top of that, when I write I don't really have a direction in mind. I usually just write what I feel should be written. I dunno, maybe that's a better tactic for longer stories.

But, I did purposely leave out exactly what happened to Matt other than the fact that he was bullied, because that was the point of the story; he was bullied to the point of murder. And as far as Gary, it was more so what he didn't do. He was too scared to say anything about the way Matt was treated and, well, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." He didn't really do anything to Matt per se, but he didn't do anything to stop it, and that especially hurt Matt because Gary was the one he trusted the most.

As far as the title, that was to show that some stereotypes are true. The Irony of the title is that he was stereotyped as someone who would do exactly what he did, which is also why he did it in a way. I hope this answers your questions!
