it was a warm summer day
towards the middle of june
school would be done in just a few days
I stood by my locker
waiting patiently for Tai
he always arrived 5 minuntes after me
as i stood there, i let my eyes wander freely from one kid to another
everyone was relativley happy and tan
after all school was nearly done for the summer
but as i peered amongst the smiling faces i saw HER
she was walking timidly in my direction
her arms crossed clutching her books tightly towards her chest
she stared down at the freshly cut grass, knocking into people left and right
but she didnt care
she was not like them
she was not like us
i dont know why or how
all i know is she was
DIFFERENT
i tried to ignore her pressence as best as i could
i stared down at the floor, praying she would walk right past me
without even having to look i felt her in front of me
i slowly inched my head up and allowed my eyes to meet hers
we stood for a few seconds, motionless
just glazing into each others marble like eyeballs
hers seemed to be magnified by her thick rimmed glasses which were poorly held together with a piece of white tape
she opened her mouth, as if to tell me something, but no words came out
she suddenly closed it, turned and walked swiftly away
i stood for a few minutes
not quite sure how to feel
or what to think
just kind of in a daze of mixed emotions
Tai clutched my shoulder
my body jolted, his hand brought me back to reality
"Chill man, lets go to class"
Tai's long blond hair was still wet, he had just got back from his morning surfing session.
"Shit man, the weirdest thing just happened..."
i began to retell my story to Tai as we strolled towards first period
suddenly i heard IT
Tai heard IT too
we all heard IT
the sharp crack of a gun shot
by instinct we dropped to the ground
i turned slowly towards the end of the hall
she hit the ground in perfect unison with the gun
her thud and the guns clank, rang over and over in my head
the wall was painted with her brains
