Everything About It

Chapter 1

'Alas, my love, you do me wrong, to cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, delighting in your company...'

My hatred for that song was strong. Really strong, it was on full volume on my phone alarm. The whole purpose of it was to make me get out my bed and stop it but all it did was make me curse the song writers in my head, over and over again.

Standing up, I take my phone; shut the alarm and text Xavier, as usual. Xavier is my best friend. He has been ever since preschool when I taught him how to make a sand castle and he shared his sandwich with me, I guess it's a cliché story of how we met, but what can I say Xavier is a cliché guy.

"Any notice?"  I text.

I stand for a few minutes hoping to feel my phone buzz with a message, but nothing. I get a bad feeling of why he doesn't text back so soon. They found out, they know. They are coming for me next. The thoughts race through my head, I decide to give up waiting and hop into the shower, slowly appreciating the hot water drop against my body, I stay in for as long as I can, or at least until I could feel my skin turn to raisin. I get out, brush my straight black hair back and tie it up. I quickly put on my clothes and grab all my things and head out the door and into the kitchen, I don't normally have breakfast so I just grab a granola bar. I see a note stuck onto the kitchen table by my mother.

Sorry, coming home late tonight. Dinner is in the fridge, help yourself. Don't wait up, LOL xx

Mom

I laugh out loud. My mom is like any other mother, still thinks 'lol' means lots of love. I get my phone out my pocket to see that I'm greeted by three messages from Xavier. I stick my headphones in, putting payphone by Maroon 5 on then read the messages.

'Act normal'

'Don't say anything dodgy'

'Were okay...'

I let out a deep breath that I never realized I was holding. I finally find myself in front of the school gates. I walk inside going to my locker and get my things, put my headphones in and walk into class. But as soon as I see the picture on the board I regret every second. I swallow, walking backwards slowly and stand by the door so Mr. Aboros, my form tutor won't see me. I just stand and observe my class, the girls crying, the boys just sitting in silence staring at the board regretfully.

I feel a tear drop, warm and tickling against my cheek. I spot Xavier sitting in the seat next to mine, fidgeting with his fingers. I remember the last message Xavier sent me and walk in repeating it in my head.

"I regret to inform you that Shane Archerbolt's body was found yesterday night..." my teacher sighs, trying to stay sturdy. Shane was his favorite student, he was everybody's favorite. My thoughts are interrupted by a familiar voice, Xavier's.

"Er, what happen to him, sir?" he askec trying to sound casual, but I can tell his heart was beating fast as hell.

"Suicide" one of the boys from behind him, called out. I guess Sir would've told him off for shouting out but today...nobody was in the mood for anything. I reach my hand out for Xavier's hand; he reaches back and squeezes tight. I sigh, regretting what I'm about to do. My eyes dart to the board, where the smiling picture of Shane Archerbolt stays still.
