Intro

— October, 1988 —

Donnie is troubled. Plain and simple. You had just moved in next door, and you saw him every now and then. He always stared at you for way to long, sometimes with a straight face and sometimes with that lopsided, adorable grin. You had no idea why he seemed so interested in you, but you knew most adults and most kids at your school didnt like him—It was more of a "he's a bad influence, he's violent" thing than a "he's a bad guy" thing.

The truth was that Donnie had taken a liking to you. You never made fun of him or laughed when he did something outlandish at school, and you didn't seem scared of him either. He though you were amazing, very kind, and his future best friend. He daydreamed about hanging out with you and just talking with you! It was silly, really, to daydream about such simple interactions instead of actually talking to you.

One day, during lunch at school, Donnie walked over to you.
