It’s unusual to hear about a popular boy attempting to commit suicide. Those are the stories you hear about on the television, not while randomly passing a group of gossiping girls mentioning how surprised they were that he would try to kill himself. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡc498YPGoSS 維尼
I wanted peace that morning, to just walk sluggishly into school and head to my first period like I did every Monday morning. However, I was greeted by a bunch of upperclassmen whispering to each other. Spreading rumors and secrets like any other day, except it seemed more extreme than usual. Even kids who normally kept to themselves were listening closely to the rumor of the day.8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyMYSC0mWt 維尼
“Pss, Amber.” I heard my name whispered just as I made it to the classroom door.8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOikhdsa6m 維尼
It was Janet, the only person who never seemed afraid to talk to me. She also never seemed afraid to talk about me. Yes, even I occasionally heard gossip about myself.8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFmOufoD9T 維尼
“What’s up?” I questioned, yawning to let her know I wasn’t really in the cheery mood for whatever drama was going on. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Fl5n59c8 維尼
“It’s about Trevor, girl! Apparently, he tried to kill himself this weekend.”8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdrsNMrf2Z 維尼
Instantly, a small lump formed in the back of my throat. There was no way. Absolutely no way!8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkd9GaPBS2 維尼
“Trevor McMillan?” I tried my hardest to keep my voice steady. Janet was suspicious of my crush on him. The last thing I needed was for her to run her mouth and tell the entire school. Oh, the Black girl has a crush. Yes, the only Black girl in the school.8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15oGKv5rfW 維尼
“Yesssss,” She sang, throwing her head back. “Surprising, right!? I mean, I would have never expected this from him. He freakin’ ran this school single handedly just by his looks.”8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsL6V9PiP3 維尼
Placing my hand over my widening mouth, I gave a fake yawn. “Oh, yeah.” I was great at pretending I didn’t care. “That’s sad but I think you should head to your class. The truancy officer did say you couldn’t be late again or you have Friday school, remember?”8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IrMTKSAWx 維尼
Janet’s mouth fell open. “Oh, shit! You’re right. I’ll talk to you later, girl. If you find out anymore info about Trevor, come to me first!”8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqhyf4JejA 維尼
Yes, Janet. Of course you would want to be the one who hears it first. The queen of trying to be the queen. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1zJ4PBuNA 維尼
Finally, I was able to enter the classroom in peace. My usual seat against the window was open. It was close to the teacher’s desk but I didn’t mind. It just meant I wouldn’t have to see all those judging faces behind me. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJhmcRgfWA 維尼
“Suicide…” I murmured to myself as I tossed my backpack on the desk and sat in the chair. “What were you thinking?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2J3BXeLhd
