Crazy

"Crazy"

What's crazy, you might ask. If you ever meet Eric Van Schack, you'll know what it is. Eric lives his life as if he had no parents. He lives with his brother but sees his parents every day. They pick him up for school in the morning, and drop him back off in the afternoon. His groceries, clothes, and the rent are all paid for by none other than his parents.

Besides being crazy, Eric never stops talking. People try not to look at him because they know if he sees them, he will stop everything and tell a never-ending pointless story. And what makes it worse, spit somehow always seems to find its way to some part of your body while he's talking. You can't even walk within a five-foot radius of him without catching his attention. I sometimes have to take a completely different route to where I want to go, just so I don't take the chance of running into him.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, Eric is also hyperactive. Whether it morning, noon, or night, he is always running around and being loud. His loud voice gets on people's nerves almost instantly. The high, perky pitch is deafening. He tries to find people to run wild with him. Needless to say, after about one day, the person gets sick of him and has to come up with a plan to get out of associating with him.

Personally, I like to be nowhere near Eric. I have been pretty good at keeping my distance so far. But who knows? You never know what to expect when you're dealing with a crazy person.
