Jonathan never had any friends, not really. But then he met Warren and Andrew.

If he had had friends before, maybe Jonathan would have realized sooner that this isn't what real friends are supposed to be like. Real friends don't push you around. They don't call you names like "short round". They don't turn your average, every-day nerdy fantasies (they always seemed so safe before, really just a game) into twisted nightmares. They don't make you masquerade as their dead girlfriend. And real friends don't think it's cool to get away with murder.
