Nate

Two days after Thalia's disappearance

October 20th 2011

I walked down the hallway ,my anger at its peak with clenched fists.I felt so hurt and used as I walked the locker lined hallway.I felt all eyes glued to my back as people whispered and pointed at me from their phones.I raised an eyebrow and looked around with apparent confusion.

Thalia stood me up.

I wished I saw all the signs about her odd behaviour but I didn't.

Why couldn't she be upfront with me ?

I came to school early because I knew by then ,Thalia would be there.Then I would confront ,right there and there and I wouldn't care if everybody saw.I nodded at my thoughts.I would demand answers but the weight of the eyes on me made me dart my head back and forth in confusion.

Why couldn't she be upfront with me?

Questions swarmed my head as I tried to get answers and it landed on a conclusion about Thalia—her father.No,that wasn't possiable.She texted me and said she was on her way and Thalia probably lied to her dad just to come or she had zero intention of visiting and that was a lie?

Did she even leave the house ?

My hope was a sandcastle and Thalia came and destroyed and flooded its foundation with a simple text.But her behaviour ,obviously she was not okay.When was she ever okay ?

I planned everything.The movies we would watch ,the jokes I would say ,the park we would go to and even the strangest thing a visit to the Art Museum of Ontario and that was something I had zero internet cause I wasn't a art porn lover.The snacks and everything but he never came and left me on read and ghosted me.

I was stranded like that guy who only had a ball for a companion.

What the heck ?

After I angrily shoved my books into my locker and slammed it.I still felt all the eyes on me and the points and sad faces that blurred by.Oddly enough,people watched me ,mostly girls with looks of—pity.My face scrunched with further confusion as I picked out odd words like " poor boy" and " my condolences".

I opened the door and entered into the classroom with anger high in my mind but evaporated as soon as I entered the class.The class got quiet ,all conversation seized as everyone turned to look at me with that same look.Sadness and pity.My feet stopped mid step and my gaze landed on Thalia's desk ,cold and empty just like Hayleys.On the first row where they both sat.Everyone on their phones stopped to stare at me as if I was an alien from Mars.

She didn't come?

People's eyes landed on me and they were still quiet.

"Nate,"Sasha waved me over me a smile ,warm and bright strange to the dull ,sad atmosphere.She beamed brighter the sun."Come over."Her blonde hair was plaited into a french braid as I looked around with raised brows ,eyes still hot on my trail with frowns then I awkwardly sank onto the seat beside Sasha.Who looked astonished.

I looked around ,my legs like lead.''Whys everyone acting so strange?''I asked then Sassha leaned back ,pursed her lips and looked straight ahead ,lost in space or somewhere.

Then she turned to me with her brown eyebrows raised,"You didn't hear?''I merely shrugged and looked around as murmurs exploded behind me.

"Poor boy."

"That must hurt."

"Acting so strange does he even know?"

My face contorted in further confusion and oddly enough two girls who wished I was dead stood beside us asif they waited for us to patiently stop our conversation."Is like a funeral in here.Did someone die?"
