*Day After Graham's Accidental Suicide*

The world was quiet, just as always. People packed their lunches, arose from bed, got clothes. They did the normal routine of a teenager. Everyone gathered to school, ready for yet another day of sweaty jocks and slutty hoes. Everything cuodnt seem more normal then today, until, the news came.

People made their way to class, first period really, chattering, unaware of what happened. The alarm set off warning the start of class. Students sat, happily, awaiting the teacher. But, as they waited, they didn't come. Confused, the students continued to wait, curious as to what the hold up was.

'Whats going on?'

'I want to get this over with

'hurry up, maybe?'

Then, announcements dinged, and a deep voice came over the inter come. The room silenced immediately, students hushing one another, as people waited patiently .

The voice choaked as it spoke.

"Hello, students of SHS." A pause.

"Last night, at approximately 4:42, Graham Balster, Junior, was found dead in his home...."

Silence. The air chilled around the school. Shocked faces were in every room. Not a word was spoken, only silence. It couldn't be... the students denied.

"Graham Balster Committed suicide, by hanging himself..." The principals voice sobbed quietly.

No one knew what to say. The idea began to grasp in the minds of the unexpecting, and sobs erupted into the hallways. Tragedy had struken not once, but twice. The poor emo boy named Asher, then Graham?

"The flags will be half-massed. I've been informed a funeral for Mr.Balster will be held a week from today. Thank you..."

The server clicked off.

No one really knew what to say, in all honesty. Everything felt numb. Some people didn't know the two boys well enough, others, some. As far as they knew, Asher was still alive. But Graham... Was gone. The realization hit hard. School was cancelled that day.

People went home, and just stared at the wall, wondering, 'what did I do?' Everyone blamed themselves. But in sadness they didn't know, it was all a freak accident.

Graham had been too afraid to end it yet. He hadn't wanted to give up just yet, but nobody will ever know that Graham Balster had not in fact, committed suicide......
