The next morning I woke up and I felt good about myself. I felt confident and proud. I got myself dressed and skipped down stairs.
I leave for school at 7:15 and it was 7:00 now I decide to go on my phone. Before I knew it, it was 7:14. I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door. I walked to the bus stop and waited. You may be asking why don't you just drive you have a car. Well my brother has football practice in the morning so he takes the car and because we don't earn enough money to pay for the house and to buy a car we have to share.
Finally the bus came I hopped in and took a seat I hate the bus most of my friends of people in my year have cars so they don't get the bus so it's just the year below and people who don't have cars. I get the bus every Monday Wednesday and Friday because that's when Aaron has practice.
After a long and boring ride to school we finally get there we hop of and walk into school I walk to my locker to grab my books. As I am at my locker I feel someone tap my shoulder and I turn around to see Jack Gilinsky . No words come out I just give him a big hug. I squeeze him tight until he try's to talk.
"I ca-ant breeeetheee"he whispered.
"Oh sorry" I said while letting go of him.
"What are you doing here" I said confused.
"I go to school here"he smiled
"I know but you haven't been here for ever and I missed you"I sang.
"Umm Yh I was dealing with something" he murmured.
"Do you want to talk about it?"I smiled
"Yh but not now I will talk to you at lunch I got to get to class" he
hesitated
He walked of leaving me confused. I walked to first lesson and sat on my seat observing the students pile into the class room.
AT LUNCH
I walked into the cafeteria and I spotted jack I walked over to him and he lead me outside to the benches.
We sat down and he looked at his feet.
"So what's up" I said worried.
His eyes filled with tears but not a single tear dropped.
"So I have this friend he is called Ryan he my best friend"
"Wait Ryan Malloy"
"Yh well during the summer he was diagnosed with cancer but when they found it, it was too late they couldn't do anything about it. I spent the summer with him until one day we were all watching tv when he clasped. We rushed him to the hospital and he woke up. I sat their with him and we laughed and talked about our child hood. I can still remember he had tears rolling down his cheek especially the most wet one. It fell down his check and landed on his shirt he closed his eyes. And that's when his heart went flat. I couldn't stop it it all happened so fast. You never think it will happen to you till it does and it reminded me of you we used to be so close and I don't want to let you go because I need you your all I have left." He cried.
I was crying. No one deserves this it's life we can't prevent it but it's still allowed to hurt. I gave him a hug while we cried into each other's shoulders I missed him he smelt amazing. After lunch we went to class it was boring but it was quick. When school finished I went straight home.
