One day in 11th grade, the girl received a call before school from her English teachers wife saying he was in the hospital sick and that the doctors were running a lot of tests on him to find out what was wrong.
When she got to school, everybody was spreading rumors saying that he had a heart attack or that he's faking to get out of coming to school, but the girl knew that he would never skip school on purpose, she new something was really wrong. At the end of the day when the last bell rang she looked at her phone and noticed that she had gotten a lot of voicemails from her English teachers wife, she called her to see what was wrong and his wife was panicking and telling the girl to get to the hospital as soon as possible saying it was an emergency. Once she arrived she ran to the desk to ask for the room number and then bolted to the room, his wife stood up and gave the girl a hug and said that he had passed, she said the doctors couldn't figure out how to treat him in time, and that when the finally got the lab results back and they were trying to figure out how to help him he was already long gone.
The girl fell to the floor in tears hoping it was just a dream and that she hadn't lost her only role model.
