"I'll never live the nickname 'Hefty' down."
Ravi Rangan ♦ 17 ♦ Junior
The Rangans have always been known around town for being a little… odd. And as hard as Ravi has tried to deviate from that reputation, he’s a Rangan through and through. He has an unhealthy obsession with video games— console strategy games in particular— and a love for sci-fi and cult classics. Science is pretty fucking cool to him, and he’s a smart kid when it comes down to it— though not nearly as smart as his seemingly robotic older brother, who he’s constantly compared to. Regardless, he was doing a decent job at hiding these geeky habits until a particular “incident” during his freshman year.
Being a teenage boy calls for certain… habits. And considering the general lack of privacy under the Rangan roof, it was only natural that he’d have to find some other place to practice these so-called habits. Perhaps it was a bit stupid for him to pick the guys’ locker room in the gym of all places, but his english teacher was hot and his need was urgent, so his judgment was impaired. Just as he’d started, the door to his bathroom stall busted open and he covered himself up with the closest thing nearby— a fucking Hefty-brand garbage bag— and thus his nickname was issued. That was two years ago and it still hasn’t blown over. People are still yelling “Glad to see you, Hefty!” across the hallways, and all he wants to do most days is disappear.
He’s matured a lot since freshman year; in place of that try-hard kid is someone who just wants to fly under the radar. Sure, he’s still got a lot of his whiny, woe-is-me, and girl-shy qualities, but for the most part he tries to keep his cool so he doesn’t provoke teasing any more than he has to. Truthfully he’s just ready for high school to be over and done with, but he’s still got a good year of trash bag jokes before he can finally escape.
