Norm and myself became friends in grade 7 thru the abasand crew back in the day, and all though it was a good while since we seen each other, it never changed much in this paticular moment. I drove by the bus stop at the mall downtown in a vehicle loaded up with people in grade 11, the light ahead was red and I looked over to Norm yelling out to me 'SHAWN!'......
myself: NORM!
Norm: I heard your dating missy!
Myself: yeah dude!
Norm: I MADE OUT WITH HER ON FRIDAY
Myself: ..........uh huh? What?
Norm: yeah man! I Didn't know, then he laughs.
Myself: (looking around the car with no room left) GET IN!
So norm runs across the street full of vechiles and jumps into a packed car of teenagers. I was like...Missy?
Norm: yes man! We went for a smoke outside this party on friday and she started kissing me. Then she pulled away and said i shouldn't have done that i'm seeing Shawn.
Norm: 'I'm telling him'
Myself: laughing as I'm hearing all this.
And that's exactly what he did, not three days later. (cell phones were hardly a thing back then) So I dropped norm off at his place in abasand and when he got out he looked at me and said shawn "you should dump that chick haha". Which is exactly what i did lol (sorry missy)
Point of the story Norm was solid to the core and he kept straight with me always! Later in life he tried to warn me about another female I was with but I chose not to believe him and boy oh boy, do I ever wish I remembered that moment we were in my car back then because as it turned out, he was right. 18 years later and he was still trying to look out for me. That sums up Norm in my books. Solid A.F! Godspeed to Valhalla my friend, Maynard
