Harry was zoned out in his forth period class when an announcement was made over the speaker to the whole school. "Hello this is an announcement for all faculty, staff, and students. Please make your way to the auditorium for an unscheduled school assembly.
Harry felt his heart drop. He didn't know what the assembly was about but he knew it wasn't good and he was hoping it wasn't what he was thinking.
"Alright class please make a line and be silent." The teacher demanded all the students to follow the directions.
The class made their way to the auditorium and took their seats, chatting amongst one another. They all stopped talking when their principal walked up to the microphone, clearing his throat in it, making his presence known.
"Good morning everyone. I've gathered you all here for a serious matter today. Your fellow classmate, Layla Matthews, has passed away. Now before you start any rumors, she has taken her own life."
That's when Harry's heart completely shattered. He had her in his fingertips but he was to blinded by love to notice it. Harry let a couple of tears slip from his eyes as he ignored the rest of the assembly.
"Now please go back to your classes." The principal excused everyone. Harry was a walking corpse. He let someone kill themselves. He could have stopped her if he paid more
attention.
Walking back to their classes, the whole school was silent. No laughing, no chatters, not even a whisper. You'd be able to hear a pin drop.
This was when everyone realized what words can do to a person. No one ever thought it was so bad it could drive someone to kill themselves, they thought it was just play.
Harry got back to his class, taking a seat, not wanting to do anything but cry. "Okay class just take out your study guides and look them over." The teacher said, her voice weak.
The students dug through their backpacks pulling out random papers, not preparing to study. As Harry was doing this, Mr.Wells walked into the classroom requesting to speak to Harry alone. Harry got up, not saying a word and followed Mr.Wells out into the hallway.
"This letter is for you. Layla dropped it off in the office yesterday after school." He handed Harry the letter. Harry took it, his hands shaking.
He slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. He then unfolded the paper carefully as if one wrong move would kill him.
Harry read the letter, tears forming in his eyes. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know how he can have an impact on someone he barely knew.
"Thank you." He whispered to Mr.Wells. "You're welcome Harry, now please return to class."
