Alex-
I shifted uncomfortably in the cold, hard, metal chair, and tried to pay attention to the guy speaking to us.
"Now, you're all 10, right?" The guy asked. I shook my head while everyone nodded. I was already 11. "Good, good. Now, today I'm here to talk to you about something serious." Everyone started to move uncomforabtly in their chair. We had to skip recess for this presentation, and all of us just wanted this to be over with so we could go outside.
"How many of you have heard of suicide?" Every hand raised. The man nodded, and put his hands behind his back and began to walk across the stage.
"Suicide is something that impacts many families across the world. Suicide is when someone feels that there is nothing good left in their life, so they decide to end their own life instead of living on," he stops, and looks out at the crowd, "As many of you may know, a fellow classmate of yours has recently committed suicide."
My stomach does cartwheels. Joyce. Joyce was my best friend, and recently she'd gotten very sad, then disappeared for a while. I found out she'd gone to heaven a week ago. But I didn't know how. Now I did.
"Today I'm here to tell you, suicide is not the answer. No matter how much you think no one cares, or that your life is worthless, I promise you that someone cares somewhere, okay?" Everyone was silent. I looked down at my hands and picked at my nail polish. It was pink and sparkly. I loved it, it was such a pretty color. The sparkles became blurry as I remember Joyce did them before she left. I sniff and let the sparkles become more blurry. Finally, the man is done talking and we can all leave. I run home, everything around me blurry.
Once inside my house, I avoid my mom giving me concerned looks, and run up to my mom's closet, and grab nail polish remover. I grab a cotton ball, put nail polish remover on it, and start to scrub the pink sparkles off of my nails. Tears drop onto my hands, until the nail polish is gone. The last remainder of my best friend.
