Maybe I lied when I said all those things I never got to do was the worst part of no longer being alive

the worst part was causing people so so much pain and sadness

I had to watch my mother cry hysterically over me

I had to watch my father punch walls in anger that I just had to be on that bus that day

I watched Martin flinch and tear up any time something reminded him of me.

I had to watch Martin sit in my bed with a picture of me he held tight, for hours

I had to watch my own funeral

that was difficult

I also had to watch my own autopsy, which was very disturbing.

I had to watch the ceremony the school held for us 9 kids who lost our lives

At least I watched it with the other goner girls and ghost boys who died that day

They gave a summary of us all

" Juniper Cameron Eebbon was a scholar and a friend to all. She helped everyone she could despite her own problems and set a great example for anyone around her"

how basic

they displayed pictures of me on the board

staring right back at me I saw my blonde, short, wavy hair

my pale pale skin and blue eyes

A white dress with black birds all over it on me

and a sun hat paired with sunglasses

I remember that day

we were walking around San Francisco

My first time there.

I was eleven at the time

It was fun

I also had to watch my friends cry alone at night in their bedrooms, unable to tell me how much they missed me.

I watched family members write letters to me, thinking in their mind I would never see it.

I saw them

People are most definitely right when they say people care about you more when you're dead

I was never ever considered even the slightest bit popular and girls I was certain didn't know my name started talking about me when they found out I had died.

Having students die, especially more than one at once, is a huge thing

Everyone even in neighboring cities talks and here's about it, even some people on the east coast were talking about it

sad knowing my death was the first time I ever made the news

but hey, some people have never made the news, so even though i'm dead i'm a step up from them
