Gonna slam her bullies from the top rope for real for real.Yeah... the dude's going to do a backflip off the school rooftop in a couple of chapters isn't he?
Building her up just to shatter her world.
He's going to keep flip-flopping until he's on his deathbed, surrounded by his wife (her) and their many loving children and grandchildren while thinking to himself:Calling it right now, he's doing this just to break up with her later but will change his mind.
