Anybody ever have that one friend?

You know, that guy who's just a little, off?

This kid I've known for a couple of years has gotten progressively more and more bizarre in his behavior, an attribute that increases proportionately to his intelligence. This guy is ridiculously smart. Well, one day he asked me if I wanted to see his journal and I said sure. I figured it was kind of weird that he would want to share but I said I would.

It was freaking creepy.

Strange drawing with things scratched under them like How many of them are real and my only emotions now are greed and anger. Rants about how emotions are a lie, or how religious people belong in prison. I figured it was all for show, that he was just trying to appear rebelious in my eyes.

A couple of weeks later my friend went swimming with him. He told me that my friend just lied there motionless in the pool and then quietly whispered "you know I could drown you and then kill myself, and everyone would probably just think it was an accident, or that we were drinking." Then he chuckled and went home.

I talked to a teacher at my school about this, and they said it was nothing to worry about.

About a week ago, in one of our classes the teacher asked us to sketch a quick picture of how we see ourselves vs. how we really are. I drew myself a bit more adventurous and with more hair. When he went to the bathroom, I checked my friends picture.

He was on a throne,

and everyone was bowing down to him.
