Short Story

I might get a few people and names wrong on who was in that video, so please be steady with me. I’m also putting Erik as Eric Veik so you don’t get confused, I know that’s not how his name is spelled correctly.

It wasn’t that normal to see a camera going around the high school, other than for class projects, only the jocks seemed to use them or other people. The jocks used a camera to film their friend doing something stupid, as eating an extremely spicy that one of them brought from home.
