The following day I was met by willow in the front of the school.
"I'm sorry about yesterday." She said letting her eyes fall from me to the ground.
"It's okay, I understand." I said.
Just as I finished the sentence the bell rang and we parted our ways.

The day stuttered to an end and I attempted to find her before she made it home. I looked for her but found nothing but woods and shade.

The next morning dawned and I made my way to school. I was anxious to see willow again, but I was met with everyone but her.

I trudged to my locker, leaving my stuff and finding a note which read,
Thank you Rowan, for showing me kindness and love I have never felt by a peer before. I'm gone, but not forever, thanks to you.
Love Willow
