Tales of Gabe Once upon a time in a faraway land called, Honolulu, there lived a young boy named, Gabe. Gabe has lived here all his life and was quite the introvert. He made only a few friends and went about his days as carefree as one could be.

Another instance is the arrogance, before he would just ask about others’ grades but it turned into something he could use as an insult.

This left Gabe with only one friend who decided to stay as well. Luckily for him, the one friend that stayed also decided to get the same degree as him. The first semester of college Gabe took all the same classes as his friend but that was to be expected because nobody wants to be alone if they can help it. So the first semester flew by and the second semester came and left just as quickly as the first which concludes
