as soon as nini walked through the school entrance, the whole hallway got completely silent. it was so quiet that the sound of nini's feet hitting the ground echoed throughout the room. ricky and his friends quickly looked away from each other and over to the heartbroken girl. the boy noticed how different she looks from what her usual appearance was. her hair was straight and completely down, no makeup sat on her face, and she was plain clothes. her black hoodie covered most of her head - hiding her face from everyone.

nini and ricky glanced at each other but the girl quickly looked away from his brown eyes and back down to the ground. ricky's breath felt short ,but once nini was out of sight his body tensed down. "she looks so sad," seb whispered to his friends. soon enough the hallway, went back to normal and everyone was back to their normal lives.

"i mean can you blame her," kourtney said and seb nodded his head. red was quick to look at ricky who was currently looking to the side. red waved his hand in front of his best friend's face and ricky finally snapped out of his thoughts.

"you okay dude?" red asked as the three best friends looked at ricky who was as stiff as a brick. ricky leaned his back against the locker and shook his head, "what's wrong?"

"i.. i don't know," ricky stammered, "ethan's death didn't really feel real till i saw nini... maybe i should talk to her?" the three friends quickly shook their head in disagreement which made ricky confused.
