One afternoon I was out with my best friend, Noel Romero, riding our bikes. The day was warm, but had that leftover chill from the cold February past. We went down the road laughing, gossiping about my crush, Daniel Wane, and of the long school day before.
It seemed perfect. I was so young, so fragile. I had great friends, great school. I was happy. It seemed like I had my whole life ahead of me.
But, I didn't.
I turned toward Noel, unaware of the sudden turn up ahead. Before I knew it I hit a pebble, but it felt like I rammed into a boulder. I flew off my bicycle into the trench lined with big, sharp thorns.
I heard Noel screaming "OMG! What the heck!" with a couple of spanish curse words tied into the mix. Pain hit me, like white hot acupuncture needs in the joints. Before I could hear Noel's last stream of curses, there was a crunch, and Jamie Nimmut was DEAD.
