"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."

I walked through the school halls the next week feeling as though darkness had seeped into every cell and the world around me had faded to black and white. It was the same feeling I felt when I realized my mom left. Riddled with fear and dread, I was unable to decipher how exactly things had ended up this way.
I walked through the hallway, appearing unblemished and as though nothing had affected me.

I walked with my head high, laughing at one of Moose's rare funny jokes alongside Reggie as we passed through the hallway ignoring the locker memorial crowded with flowers.

I walked toward Biology alone as the Principal's announcement rung through the entire school. I was surprised to hear Sheriff Keller also address the school but less surprised to hear Cheryl's voice echo through the speakers.
