I walked into my old elementary school classroom. 'When i first laid eyes on you.'

-flashback-

I walked into the surprisingly quiet classroom to come face to face with a disappointed mrs.godfrey looking at lonely looking boy sitting with several empty desk around him in a circle ,in the middle of the class.when mrs.godfrey saw me she smiled and said"good morning,"arianna,why don't you go sit next to david. raise your hand ,david."although it was quite obvious to who davis is he still raised his hand,never letting his eyes off the desk and letting his shaggy bangs to cover his face.'shy,huh?he will be a tough nut to crack.'i walk to a desk near him,oblivious to 16 other kids looking at us with a mixture of confusion,shockness and disgust -especially david- .

-flashback-

Walked around in the dim litted library until i stop in front of the very spot where i made that broken promise.

-flashback-

when i saw david just finish his lunch at a table alone and get up to walk out of the exit door of the cafeteria.i look on slightly curious on where the new kid is going."arianna,what are you looking at ?"asked sam as he sat down with the rest of my friends at the table."save me a seat will you?i will be right back."i said as i set my tray down and went to go catch up to david.i finally did to see him enter an abandoned classroom,still not getting a look at his face.after a couple of minutes i entered and tried to stay hidden to the best of my ability.from behind the teacher's desk,i looked at him facing a wall while reading a book in front of a mirror.but from the sound i was hearing it didn't sound like he was really reading.i slowly got closer to hear him mumbling to himself while.....crying?"why....why......why....why"he chanted s his hands fell from his face to look up into the mirror only to see me in the reflection staring at his eyes through the mirror.his blue and green eyes looking at me with tear stained cheeks.that look was a look that will never forget as long as i lived.those eyes was filled with such grief,anger,disappointment and most of all loneliness.he ran out as fast as he can as i sat there now understanding.he will not be lonely

Anymore.

-flashback-

I stand in front of a grave stone with a red rose in my hand.i took the red rose and placed it on the gravestone as i never take my eyes of the inscription.

1972-1982

loving son and brother rest in piece

his face flashed in my head,cleft lipped to Heterochromia eyes.

i keep on putting it off after i told my friends what happened,with them always blocking me o talk to him.that week i somehow did not noticed that the bullying gotten worst and it was all my fault. i didn't  remembered until it happened. 

                            i wasn't quicker then the car.

                                                                      i failed him and me.

(exactly 500 if you don't count the note.)
