ZACHREY

It has been days since I had confronted Xia. I still could not believe what she said. I could not believe that after all the smiles, laughter, and seeing her jolly side, I could hardly believe that he was a suicidal girl.

Is she that depressed to commit suicide? You can talk about your problems over. Is suicide really necessary in our lives? I know she was not joking because the wound and the bandage on her wrist was no joke.

"Dude!" My mind was cut short when Cj called me. "Seriously, what's with you? All this time I thought you were listening to everything, then now I found out that you didn't. What a disgrace!"

"Sorry, Cj," I said. "What did you just say again?"

Most of us in the classroom was just busy talking to each other. It was almost lunchtime, and our last subject teacher did not come in, so we had free time.

"Hm? Isn't your voice a little too weak today? Did something happen?" He straightened up and looked at me seriously. "You have not told me what happened during your conversation with Xiamin. It's already been days. Why don't you tell me? Did something bad happen?"

Hearing his question made me feel so lost again. I looked away from him and released a heavy sigh. If only I could do something to forget what Xia told me ... But nothing.

"It's the latter. It is obvious from your reaction, Zachrey," Cj said.

"Cj, I have a question for you. It is not connected to what Xia and I talked about but," I paused for a minute before continuing. "what would you do when you have a suicidal friend?"

"Woah!" He was surprised by my question. "Where did that question come from?"

"Just a random question, I guess," I said.

It took him more than a minute to answer that question. Even me, I do not know what my answer to my question is.

"To be frank, Zachrey," he finally spoke. "I also don't have an answer. That's... so hard."

His answer made me sigh. We were both just the same. Cj and I just kept quiet until the bell rang for lunchtime. My mind was so blank and the only thing I knew was that I lost my appetite to crave for lunch.

Cj invited me to go to Xia's classroom. To be frank, I did not want to go with him, but I was also worried because of Xia. After what she said to me, worrying was all the thing I ever did these past few days.

I remained silent until we reached Xia's classroom. I knew Cj wanted to ask me about why I was being so silent, but he just chose not to. He noticed that I just needed some space.

When we arrived at Xia's classroom, Cj asked if she and Les were inside. I just stayed at the side, and I was surprised because Cj's reaction changed while asking Xia's classmate. He approached me immediately after they had a short conversation.

"What's the matter, Cj? Why are you reacting differently?"

"Xia is not there." He picked up his cellphone and called someone. "Les is not there, either. Wait, I'll call her."

I was immediately nervous about what Cj said.

I cut it, Zachrey. I'm such a suicidal girl.
