I'll never forget her expression when I last saw her. Tears fell down her cheek as gunshots fired. She clutched my hands tight. And then she fell onto my arms, bleeding. 

I'm sorry I couldn't save you.

It was a normal boring school day, or so we thought. I was in math class, the world's worst subject. But then the fire alarm went on. Everybody looked around, not panicked. Nobody really takes fire drills serious. But this wasn't a drill at all. 

My teacher hustled us out of the classroom but before we could go anywhere, the loud speaker went on. 

"Do not leave your classrooms. Someone has entered the building and pulled the fire alarm. Stay inside your classrooms in lock down mode. Stay silent." The principles voice was hazy, hard to understand. The lights flickered on and off before shutting off. 

We huddled in the corner, far from the door and window. Everyone stayed silent as told. But the silence was broken by a gunshot, followed by a scream. And in that moment, I knew I was going to die. 

I pulled out my phone to text my parents:

I'm sorry for every bad thing I did. I love you. 

I then heard footsteps in the hallway. I held my breath until the footsteps faded. I thought the gunman left but our door slammed open. He fired bullets everywhere. Some of my classmates were crying, some yelling, and some like me, frozen. My classmate in front of me turned around and whispered into my ear, "Are we going to die?" 

It was the first time I really talked to her. The only thing I know about her is her name, Umji. 

I whispered back, "I hope not." 

And then I saw someone fall onto the ground. Their shirt had a hole covered in blood. The gunman luckily left after that. Our teacher made us crawl over to the windows. We tried to break it without making any noise but it wouldn't budge. The only way out was to make a run for it. 

I hadn't noticed Umji clutching my arm until we peeked out the classroom door. The gunman was in the classroom 2 doors away from us. Umji and I were the last ones out of the room. As we were running down the stairs, she fell. She held onto her ankle. 

"I can't move...." She whispered. "It's twisted."

I carried her bridal style until we were blocked by a dead end. Our class left already so it was only us now. I placed her down. "Stay here, I'm going to find a way out." She nodded, terrified. 

Time wasn't an option. I heard footsteps coming our way, and then the door to the stairwell slammed open. Bullets were fired. My head was ringing. I looked over towards Umji, her eyes met with mine. 

I finally found a small little window down the hallway. I sneaked up against the staircase, so the gunman wouldn't see me. I grabbed her and ran to the small window. From far away, I heard sirens coming. I was almost there.

I crawled through it first to help Umji out. But the gunman caught up to us. I held my arms out so that I could catch her. I grabbed her hands but she knew she wouldn't make it out alive. Tears rolled down her face as her lips trembled. 

And then her eyes widen and she froze. Blood dripped down her shirt. She leaned forward and fell into my arms. I then saw where the bullet hit her back. I cried. 

The paramedics came but it was too late. She died in my arms. 

Today was the first and last time I would talk to her.

I'm sorry I couldn't save you.

I cried all through the night. I felt guilty and angry that her life had to end that way. 

The next day I visited her grave. 

My hands trembled as I placed a rose onto her grave. 

She was one of the 10 people who died during the shooting. 

I'm sorry.

"I am not afraid to die. I am only afraid of saying goodbye to you forever."
