Assignment 11 - My neighbor is Davis - Cat Lucier

Who do I sit next to in English? Davis Mattingly and Kelly Landry. As much as I love Kelly, I've known Davis for a longer time, and so I feel better equipped to talk about him.

I met Davis back in 7th grade when I moved schools from Hayes to Tates Creek for the advanced program. We didn't really become friends until the second half of the school year, but since then, we've been good friends. Of course, it fluctuates between school years depending on the number of classes we have together, but we've gotten pretty close this year.

You may have noticed that he is rather gay. There is a pretty funny story that goes with that. in essence, we "dated" for about 2 months over the end of the 7th grade and a little bit of the summer. Absolutely nothing happened. Looking back, it is hilarious. I went to summer camp, and there I met this girl, who I actually broke up with Davis so that I could date her. I won't specify who she is, but I will say that she is in the academy here. There were absolutely no hard feelings between Davis and me. We love to retell that story as "we dated, and then we both turned out gay."

Davis is cynical and occasionally a dumbass in the most endearing way. He can be very caring and is always down to listen to you, whether it be the latest tea, or a story from the weekend, or complaints about parents. He is quite smart, but is also lazy, which results in low grades that don't necessarily reflect his intelligence. I find it frustrating, but at the same time, he seems to be doing just fine.
