What did the weird kid do to earn that reputation?

The weird kid at my school always claimed she was a wizard, and when someone spoke to her

when she was, quote, casting a spell, i.e. screaming at the ground, she would turn around and

either scream in their face or slap them. I was new to the school at the time, and I got

screamed at because I was

legitimately worried that she might be hurt or something. There was this guy, one class below me,

who just ate everything. Once he went to the front of the classroom where the sink thing he is,

took a big stack of paper towels back to his place, and just started eating it mid-lesson. Another time he drank

a Capri's son in class, and when he was finished, he just ate the package with straw and

everything. The weirdest thing was when he ate a toy car that the teacher brought to show something.

He just sat in front of the teacher's desk, took the car from it, and swallowed it without saying anything.

He brought a live lobster to a middle school dance and let it go on the dance floor during the dance.

It wasn't even a question of, who would have done this?

It was Nate. Nate did it.

He thought he was a robot.

Often you'd find him in the halls, alone, talking to electronics

about destroying the human race or having a conversation with a locker.

Flick the bean during class, then brought a cake the next day to apologize.

There was a girl in my school that got caught trying to colour her entire tongue with a black

sharpie in like seventh

grade. It was honestly surreal to witness. The teacher was so confused and just walked her to the

principal. A few years later, she was expelled for drinking booze during school on multiple occasions.
