the bell rang and i collected my pencils and paper before leaving the classroom.

"everyone turn in your work before leaving!"

work! i forgot to draw! i was busy... thinking

i sighed. i needed to find something to turn in.

i looked on the board again. "the basics of drawing a human"

i flipped through my sketchbook to see if i could turn anything in anything from there.

my drawing of jonathan. 

i gently ripped it out and signed my name in the bottom right corner. i put it into the basket labeled "turn in" and walked out.

it was now lunchtime. i went to my locker and put away my belongings on the very top shelf and grabbed my lunchbox and coat, before leaving to the cafeteria.

first, i stopped in the bathroom. i checked to make sure no one was inside. i fixed my hair. i took a deep breath, and left.

i walked down the hall to the lunch room and sat at an empty table. i opened my lunch and waited for jonathan. i had a sandwich, apple slices and a note from my mom

sherwin,

have a great day at school

i love you honey

-mom

a few minutes later jonathan came and sat down.

"hey!" i smiled

"hi!"

"how was first period?"

"it was great! i met this guy named james, he's really cool, and he's in almost all of my classes" 

i started to get a little jealous. i never really had any friends. after the accident
