I havent been to school ever since Codie died, but at this point im forced too. My parents drive me to school to make sure i go. I enter the school, the place i met Codie. I almost break down in the center of the hall way. I have to be strong for him. I look down at my feet glancing at my wrist that is covered by my grey sweater. I decide not to go to first hour and to just walk around. I see a boy with black hair and glasses, he looks like he's been crying. I dabate weather to walk up to him or mind my own buisness. I walk up to him and whisper, "A-are you alright?" he looks up at me with red puffy eyes and says. "It dosnt matter, you wouldnt understand" He snaps reveiling his blue eys and braces. I feel bad, i always wanted someone to talk to, maybe i can help. "Try me, whats wrong?" I say sofley. He looks almost shocked as if no one has ever asked him those few words. "I lost my bestfriend to a drunk driver, I-I feel so lost without her" He says on the edge of tears, I starts to tear up thinking about Codie. "I, lost my best friend to a robbery gone wrong, just a year ago" I mutter looking in his eyes, He dosnt seem to belive me. Then he saya. "Im so sorry about your loss" He says to me trying to smile. I smile a little and say "Im sorry about yours" I hold out my hand, "Im Hailey" He shakes my hand and says "Im Coal" I can tell, this boy and i would get along just fine
