I went out of the bathroom, and grabbed my phone off the desk. I put all my books in my bag and went over to the bulletin board.

I studied the boy's face that wasn't x'ed out but I couldn't recognize him. I unlocked my phone and went to the photos app.

But I don't remember taking any of these but they were all there. That guy and I filled up every photo. 667 photos of that boy and I. Including one of us kissing. Jk, make that three.

Wait.

Only 661 if them were of us. 5 of them were photos I actually remember taking.

The other one I don't. It was a video of me. I'm afraid to play it because my face is tense with fright.

I press play and I see myself but the camera is moving up and down. Then I sat and stared at the camera and I was obviously scared. "Don't say yes! Just don't let him confuse you. He is wrong and so is..."

My mouth  suddenly stood still and I looked up.

"This doesn't matter! I will be dead by the time you watch this video." I paused. "At least I'm SUPPOSED to be dead!" My face was frightened by the fact that I might be alive then.

I put down my phone confused at that video.

But who is trying to confuse and make me say yes.

More importantly why would I want to be dead?

I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door.

Then I realized I must be going crazy cause all of this wasn't happening. It wasn't! So I decided to put on my freshman Friday outfit.

I left my makeup on because it was actually pretty. Then I went downstairs and saw my mom making coffee. There was something different about her. More stress, more weary and just plain sad.

As if someone was dead.
