Dear Edmund:

I couldn't say anything, I physically couldn't. So I kept giving you sideway glances. I did that the whole class, trying to formulate the exact words I could say, but when I finally did, we had to go back to the classroom, so I stood up, like everyone else. "Hey Edmund?" I didn't hear what else he said, your friend, even though I tried to get as close as possible, but he was laughing, and you weren't. And then he left you alone, because he saw you weren't happy. I wouldn't have left you alone, if I was your friend. I just want you to know that.
