The Diary

I had finally come home from my last semester of college for the year. I was going to Harvard to study law. I know that seems surprising, but I had studied really hard to get into this school. I didn't want to become a lawyer, but I knew it would get me money. I really wanted to make videos or even go to film school, but my parents said that I would be wasting time.

    I went in my old room and found a box under my bed. Being curious, I looked through it and found my old high school diary. I went all the way to the beginning.

The start of Freshmen year.

" Today I met a new kid. He was very nice, he gave me goldfish. He told me that his name was Colby."

I was stunned. I hadn't heard that name in years. His name was Cole Robert Brock.

He was my best friend for three years of high school, and then he left. No one had heard from him... He just left. No one knew where he went or what happened to him. It had saddened me. I had tried to contact him but he had changed his number, email, and his family had moved. He never had and social media, so I couldn't contact him from there. That was the worst year of high school. You'd think I'd be happy that I was finally a Senior, but the truth was, I had had a crush on Colby.

    There were rumors that I was gay through out high school, but I had always denied it. Colby on the other hand, was open about his sexuality. He got bullied for it, but I was proud of him for being himself. He kinda got a bit depressed from it, but I never really thought of it. People think he left because of that, but no one ever knew.

     I went ahead and signed into Facebook. Maybe he had finally given in. I search up Colby Brock and I was surprised to see that he had an account.

I send him a message.

S: Hey Colby! It's Sam Golbach from high school. I hope you are doing well, and maybe we can chat a bit.
