i am doing a podcast on the school shooting of east hills highschool. it was the school i attended in 2019. i was 17, it was my senior year. it was the day i lost the love of my life. it wasn't just a normal day for me, it was my second day of dating noel. i had asked her to be my girlfriend the day before at lunch. she said yes. i was so in love with her, i missed her so much. i got ready that day with more effort than usual. i walked into school, kissed her and went to my second period. after that i went to chemistry, my only class with noel, i was super stoked, it was our first day being lab partners too. i was in the middle of doing my worksheet when i realized that this kid named edward, walked in late. i thought it was unusual. but i thought nothing of it.

can you describe the shooting for us sam?

i get too emotional and it gives me ptsd to talk about.

talk about noel for us sam.

she was the light of my life. i finally got her love after liking her for so long. i only got a day in a half of being her boyfriend. i had to see her in the ambulance, having cpr done. the nurse told me she had instantly died from the shot. i was holding her lifeless body in my arms. oh my love. i cry when i think about her. i haven't dated anyone since. i don't find interest in any other girls. i visit her grave every week. i work a lot, to get my mind off it. i always have flashbacks to when it happened, edward hawkins, pointing the gun at me his hand shaking, the way he smiled after leaving the room, he went to go on and kill 12 more of my fellow classmates, including 3 juniors. he was sentenced to the death penalty.

thats enough for today sam.

hey guys, i'm sorry to end the story on such a rough note. don't think i am trying to make school shootings big, i want you guys to know that they can always happen, you don't know how people are going to react to unkind words, or insults. that's why bullying needs to stop. this is why kindness is always the way. BEKIND.
