I sat there staring out of the window hitting my pencil on my desk. It was slightly covered in fog from the rain. I could hear the teacher in the background going on about the storm coming in and how to prepare for it. I'm from Jersey all it does is rain.
'Hazel do you want to share your thoughts with the rest of the class?"
I snapped back into reality as I looked up staring at everyone looking back at me. I sat up in my desk as I let out a little cough.
"You took them right out of my mouth already Mrs. Row" I sarcastically shot back.
Her eyes narrowed at me as the rest of the class snickered.
"You can go out into the hallway with that attitude young lady for the rest of class"
I rolled my eyes as I grabbed my things and made my way out into the hallway. It seems to be an everyday thing for me now.
I leaned my back against the cold block wall as I let out a deep breath.
My head quickly snapped up when I heard a group of boys laughs echoing.
"In trouble again I see"
I slightly let out a laugh when I saw Ethan walking towards me.
He sat his bag down as he leaned against the wall nudging my shoulder.
"You've got to stop hazel, I know its been tough losing him but he wouldn't want you turning out like this"
Him. Damn he really had to go there.
"Yeah well not all of us can forget and move on so fast"
I grabbed my back as I began to walk away but I felt his hand grip my arm stopping me.
"I havent forgot hazel, I just didnt use his death as a reason to start acting out and become rebellious"
My heart sank. He had a point but people mourn differently.
I snatched my arm out of his grip and kept walking. I decided to blow off the rest of the day. It seemed to be a habit for me anyways.
It seems like ill never be able to let it go. It haunts me and I can still remember the way they screamed for help and there was nothing I could do.
