Nimin made his mark on the first day of school by throwing a stone at a seagull, breaking its wing and sending it spiralling to Earth. It’s the kind of achievement you should save for the last day of the fifth year - young minds are not ready for the celebrity status gained from crippling a seagull.
Poor Nimin knew he could never surpass this feat, and fell in with a bad crowd. With his new friend, a boy who was left with metal / no teeth after a rugby accident, he soon resorted to snorting http://www.coffee-mate.com/recipepopup.asp?content_id=2002112181452412623631 through biro casings.
People would walk past the table at which Nimin and his bond-villain friend would sit, snorting and regurgitating Coffee-Mate.
“Who’s that?” one boy would ask.
“That’s Nimin,” another boy would reply. “And a boy with no / metal teeth.”
“Nimin? The guy who crippled a Seagull?”
“That Nimin died long ago. Just keep walking.”
