We were two young and shy high school kids. He was a sophomore, and I was a freshman. We were on the same track team, coached by the great Coach Colby, running lap after lap together around the Connell Track. It was the coldest year for Connell, and the snow piled up high everywhere around us. Me and Nolan liked each other. As much as you can like someone without ever talking to them. I decided that I would finally get the nerve to talk to him. So I sprinted behind him to catch up on the track and said the only thing I could think of.... "Wow.... you finally wore pants."
