the deep emotional bond between people, especially those separated by distance or death

it was about two weeks later and i was finally caught up on all work i had missed. i woke up early as usual and i wore some black mom jeans, black converse, and a dark green short sleeve shirt.

it was around the spring time so it wasn't too cold but not too hot either. i locked the door behind me as i happily walked down the street to go meet up with pony and johnny like usual.

as i became closer and closer towards them, johnny had a confused look on his face. "someone seems a little too happy for school." he commented as i stood next to pony. i just chuckled at his comment.

i gave pony a small kiss on the cheek and then we all walked our way to school as i held his hand. as we got to school, we got our usual waves and hello's from a few people.

the bell rang and i headed my way to class. the first few classes went swell, though they were quite boring really.

in english we read and i almost passed out but the girl who sat next to me kept poking me to keep me awake. then in p.e we just played dodgeball and my team had won which i was happy about.

i walked into lunch, still with a happy feeling in my gut. i sat with pony, johnny, two-bit, and a few other greasers. i was happy that for awhile the socs have been keeping their distance.

as i was about to walk my separate ways from pony he pulled me into a hug and mumbled, "i love you." i let go of the hug and smiled at him. "i love you more." his cheeks immediately grew red.

sadly, we had to go our own ways and now i was in my very boring class, history. about half way through, i had to go to the restroom. i raised my hand and asked the teacher and he politely told me i could do so.

i finished washing my hands and was about half way back to my class. suddenly i heard an announcement and alarm i had never heard before at the school. "lockdown. lockdown. lockdown."

those words kept repeating on the loud speaker. i didn't know where to go, i honestly panicked when i knew i shouldn't have. i ran to my history class and pounded on the door. no one answered.

i did that to all the doors in the hall and none of them opened or responded.

as i was running to try and go to the bathroom, there was suddenly pain in my back and i was met with the hard, cold tile floor.

if i would of known it was my last breath, i knew i would of spent it with the boy i loved.
