I ran into the corridor, my heart pounding right at my chest. My head became dizzy and I fell to my knees on the floor.
"Are you alright", a voice called from behind.
I turned round it was Flora again.
"Oh it's you again", I replied, "Do you ever even go to lessons?"
"Sometimes, depends on my mood I guess", she said.
"Well I've got to go now so I'll see you later".
"Can we be friends" she said, grabbing my arm.
I laughed.
The walls of the corridor were full of pictures. One of the people on the wall was my sister. She is probably one of the only people the school has lost in the last 5 years and infact forever. That's what makes my family so unique and unusual. Unknown. When she died, I remember when I used to walk down the corridor and everyone used to stare at me. I kind of lost my popularity at that point but thankfully quickly earned it back. People still ask me what happened, but if I'm honest I actually don't know. When my parents heard the news they were traumatised. When I used to ask them what happened, they only told me half the story. All i know is this;
My sister was in a car driving to a party with a few of her friends. They had all had a few drinks before setting off and my sister was the safest to drive. Everyone was shouting and my sister joined in. She must have got distracted and they went over a cliff edge. My sister was the only one that didn't survive. The rest are still alive and I think it was all their fault. To this day, I still cry myself to sleep at night and I struggle to get up in a morning. I was always so close to her & at first it didn't hit me but now I think about it every single day. I used to know this boy when I was younger. He lost his Dad when he was only 6, he died in a car accident similar to what happened to my sister. I remember the whole class being sat down and the teacher telling us, I struggled to imagine what it must have felt like. Now, I know all too well.
