⚠️ warning: mentions of rape ⚠️

There were many reasons why Kim Jisoo decided to kill herself.

Many reasons, that some of us either didn't notice, or noticed but didn't speak up about.

Kim Jisoo was a kind girl: very generous, caring, naive. People often walked over her or used her because they knew she couldn't refuse.

The popular kids used her for answers to the homework, the nerds used her as an extra test subject, the jocks used her for her body.

There was a never ending cycle of torment for Jisoo, that she miraculously just plastered a huge smile over.

Over time though you can see a person's demeanor change quickly. Soon, that big smile she usually wore faded away. She became more closed off, more silent, more distant, like she was living in a haze.

She wore darker clothing, cut her usually long, flowing black hair into a shoulder length bob, often seemed very hostile and afraid.

Her participation in classes she usually excelled in plummeted, her grades dropped a little lower.

Everything about her was different.

Now, you're probably wondering how and why she killed herself, so I won't hesitate to tell you anymore.

Kim Jisoo didn't have to die, not this way. She was too good for that.

And I should know, because I, Park Chaeyoung, was her best friend.

6 MONTHS AGO, HALL HIGH SCHOOL, SENIOR YEAR.

"Students! Students! Quiet down please!" The principal Ms. Kim shouted from the podium in the middle of the gym floor, tapping the microphone to get everyone's attention.

Kim Chungha, the youngest principal in the history of Hall principals. Beautiful, slim, intelligent, and only 25 years old; she got hired only a month ago, and all of the jocks and douches are already trying to hit on her.

I still don't know how such a young lady could be accepted for the job as a principal, that takes a lot of experience and responsibility.

Hmm, who knows, maybe they hired her just for her ass and good looks.

Once the gym wasn't booming with laughter and yelling, Principal Kim started talking into the mic.

"As you all may know, the school year has just begun last week. For all of my Seniors, it's time to buckle down and start applying to those colleges. Juniors, get ready for the SATs. Lower class men, work hard, study, and never give up,"

I sighed and rolled my eyes, resting my chin in my palm boringly.

"Chaeyoung, sit up. You're being disrespectful." My friend Taeyong said, poking my side.

"Ugh, she's going to say the same shit....we've all heard this a thousand times before, so what's the difference?"

I heard Taeyong sigh, a sign that he gave up dealing with my bullshit.

I smiled in victory and kept my chin resting in my palm, looking around at the different colored heads around me in the bleachers.

It finally dawned on me that my best friend, Kim Jisoo, didn't attend school today, which was weird since she always showed up for school.
