If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
... We'll find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

Dark clouds, that was all I could see everywhere I went. The news of that kid everyone was talking about shock the whole school but I was unfazed by it. Not because I was a cold and heartless human being but because I had a bigger problem to deal with. I was sour all over and I didn't even know why the heck I can't even remember why or what could warrant it.

All I know is that at intervals I always felt nauseous and I'd ended up throwing up when I least expected. What was worse was that I get irritated very easily. As if that was not enough, there was this persistent headache that wouldn't go away. I had tried using Panadol for it but it wasn't working so I just ignored it and carried on with my day.

I left the cafeteria after the news of that kid's death. I'm sure it's pretty pathetic that I don't know his name. All I knew was that he was pretty close to my twin sister and now everyone hates her because of that. I sighed, feeling slightly sorry for her. I'm sure she must know his name. I'll probably ask her whenever I see her, that's if I even remember. I managed to drag myself out of the cafeteria after the news of his death broke. Their cries of agony and grief were deafening and that was making my headache worse.

I got to the entrance of my class, thanks to Nafeesat'a help. This girl has been my backbone for as long as I can remember. She might be a commercial student with little or no knowledge of the struggle of a science student but still, she always stands by me, through thick and thin. It's one of the things I love about her, even when I treat her poorly she still stands by me and it still baffles me to no end.

"Thanks Fee, you can go back to your class now" I said, calling her by the nickname that I had formed for her from her full name. She gave me a half-smile but it immediately dropped once she notices Chloe crying helplessly on the floor in front of our class. We walked towards her and Nafeesat looked at me and then back at Chloe. Crouching down to her level she said,

"Hey Chloe, are you okay? The hallway isn't a very safe place to let your emotions out like this."

" I... I... why? Why him... of all? Of all people why him?" I heard her respond to Nafeesat in between her loud sobs.vChloe has always been the loud one when it comes to crying. I rarely cried and even when I do, you wouldn't notice it. I shook my head at Nafeesat dismissing her and she immediately left my side heading for her class. Once I noticed from where I was that people had begun leaving the cafeteria I knew I had to act fast to save her the humiliation that would befall her if our classmates were to find her here.
