I had a friend from elementary school. I came from a small elementary school.
Lots of regular kid stuff. She was best friends with another girl.
We didn’t have middle school,
or middle school was merged with some of elementary school and some of high school.
We got to high school. Our new school and new year began.
Just as all this “new” was in the fore, we all got another new, except her — in another direction.
We got a new life chapter. She never turned the page.
She killed herself.
