Today was one of the hardest days of school I've ever had to sit through and I was only there for 1 class period.
On Saturday, a big accident happened involving 2 cheerleaders from our school and 2 boys from the town next to mine and a boy and a girl, Kate Z., died. I wasn't there on school Monday but from what I've heard it was just insane. Everyone was crying, fights were starting, and it was just really insane and hard to deal with.
Now, the girl in the accident who lived had her legs crushed by the engine of the car and yesterday my math teacher told me she was doing fine and the doctors would be taking her out of the coma they put her in...
And then today on my way to Spanish, Ben stopped me. I was wondering why everyone was standing in the health/Spanish/German corridor and the warning bell had already rung and there were no teachers to be found. And then he told me. The other girl in the accident, Katie T., had died this morrning. I rushed to text my brother about it becuase he sat with Katie everyday at lunch during middle school and hung out with her every day in summer of freshmen year.
I was absolutely crushed. Ms. R (my spanish teacher), eventually showed up and she told us. She only knew that she died. Everyone just started crying and Ms. R is a tough teacher and always is just... you know. And she was crying. She canceled our test, which I never thought she could do it and it was just strange. Then our principal came on the loudspeaker and he was just crying.
The moment of silence was the hardest thing... I fought really hard to keep from crying.
Then at the end of Spanish I was called down to the office. I saw so many hoards of people just hugging and sobbing and so many people leaving, there was even a bus outside waiting for people to get on so they could go home. Mom was standing there and I guess my brother must have called her to tell her and wow. I never though my brother would actually care that much...
So many people were leaving, it was just insane. I'm so glad I left. I was only there for once class period but I had seen enough.
When my mom and I were leaving, so many people were leaving. they knew that Katie had died early in the morrning and i really think they should have just canceled school.
I've never seen so many people crying except for maybe at my Grandpa's funeral.
I guess I'm going to go now. My friend Angela has been texting me for the past hour or so and she said it was crazy. She said when he dad finally came to pick her up, basically everyone was leaving. She said she was in class but no one was even there, everyone was just in the hallway crying.
RIP Katie T
RIP Kate Z
The poem was on the back of my Grandpa's funeral card and I always really relate to this. It has alot of special meaning to me and now I put it here for Kate and Katie. 2 best friends who are finally not in pain anymore and can be in peace together.
Do not stand on my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am a gentle Autumns rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am the birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
So do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there.... I did not die
