"A good guy?" You might not would think Vaneli sounds like such a swell guy if he had worn all of your clothes without so much as asking permission.

I'm just kidding.

In reality I didn't have such strong feelings one way or the other about Vaneli. He certainly annoyed the crap out of me, especially during those first few semesters.

But that wasn't because of any one thing in particular that he did. It was more of an accumulation of all the little obnoxious things that irked me.

The very first time that I was stuck at the school for the whole weekend (because I couldn't go home) he decided that he was going to climb up into my bunk, bringing some comic books.

"What are you doing?"
"They don't make us sleep in our assigned beds on the weekends!" He replied, as if that somehow excused what he was doing.

"That don't mean that you're going to crawl up and spend the night in my bed, without even asking me if I'm into that kind of thing!"


To be fair to Vaneli, our roommate, Buchanan, had Humphrey over in the room for a couple of overnights on the first couple of weekends. Humphrey was from dorm 2 or 4 but he was fast friends with Buchanan. And most of the boys were away (home or other) for the weekend, so sleeping in someone else's bed was not considered a big deal.

(If someone's slept in your bed, because you were home over the weekend, you might not even know about it anyway, unless someone told you.)

In sixth and seventh grade, we were still small enough a couple of boys could hang out in the same bed, play a board game or something until late at night, and then fall asleep right there.

Vaneli was pretty small for his age, so it probably wouldn't be too uncomfortable if he had spent the night in my bunk.

I don't know if I really would have been consenting if he had asked first. I was pretty badly miffed that first weekend that my parents didn't bring me home.

But I don't think that even in a good mood, I would have been too accommodating of his just inviting himself into my personal space.

I didn't mean to go off on this tangent, I just meant to say that Vaneli had issues respecting my personal space, and that got on my nerves.

I was having a rather harsh enough time adjusting to life at that school, even without his constant attempts at getting up under my feet.
