Chance

Hunter hasn't been in school for the past three days because Brandon got him sick. I've been walking the school halls alone. 

"Aww, the little freak's all alone." I hear Avery call me. I close my eyes and breathe. Stay calm Chance. 

"Where's your little freak boyfriend? Did he break up with you?"  One of her new pose members laughs. She ditched her old friends and made new ones in Tiffani and Bella.

 "No." I sigh. 

"Is little Chancie sad?" Tiffani taunts. I turn around and run out of the school. I get in my car and just sit there. I wipe the tears from my eyes and put the car in reverse to back out of the parking lot and drive to a very quiet place, the school's 'make out bridge' which is empty since everyone is in school. When I get to the open field there are no cars. I sigh and reach into the back seat and grab a notebook. I start writing as tears roll down my cheeks. When I finish the note and text Hunter to meet at the make out bridge in 5 minutes. I don't check my phone for a reply. I get out of the car and run to the bridge which takes a minute or two. I check my phone for a text.

 "Be there in two," I whisper to myself. I put the note under a rock and put my phone next to it. I climb onto the rail and you at the rushing water below. I walk around. 

"Maybe death can be a game." I smile as I walk up and down, not caring if I lose my balance and fall to my death. 

"Chance?!" I hear Hunter call. My heart starts beating fast. 

"He's coming closer Chance. This is your only opportunity." I whisper looking at the rushing water. I could hear footsteps on the bridge. I dangle one foot over the edge and take a deep breath before.....
