Silence
Life. How quickly it changes, without warning, as quickly as a breath, as suddenly as the blink of an eye. I sat outside her bedroom door, knowing that she wouldn’t call for me. She wouldn’t come out, and she wouldn’t make a sound for a while. It was her way. It was her custom to hibernate, to process, to ponder before she resurfaced. By the time she did, she’d have figured out a way to be okay. And I didn’t want that. I didn’t want her to journey towards acceptance alone. She’d suffered a great loss. My best friend was grieving, mourning, processing alone. In my selfishness I wanted to suffer with her, I wanted to dive into the trenches and wade through muddy waters with her. But she wouldn’t let me. She couldn’t.

Plucked
You’re both sitting in the car, the silence between you ringing in your ears. Beside that lamp post that reminds you of Narnia. There’s a tension in the air that you can’t deny, or ignore any longer.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Saint Eustace the Unfortunate
An Introduction People are quick to say that secondary school is the bane of their existence. It's that horrid place, with horrid memories and heartbreaks. It's the place where the ugly and vertically challenged sit at the bottom of the food chain; gazing longingly at the beautiful beings above. And yes, they're right. They couldn't be more accurate. There are countless books, movies, therapy sessions, and tv shows centred around this mysterious place. This hub of horrors, this den of disease, this... well, I suppose you get the picture. What I'm trying to say is, I know it's a bit overdone. Everyone likes to tell their secondary school story. And I'm about to tell you another one, in third person. That's right. I'm not a character in this story, I'm the narrator. You'll never catch me! Don't worry, this isn't going to be the British version of Gossip Girl. That show was overrated anyway. What's going to happen here is that I'm going to walk you through a series of events that changed the history of a very prestigious school. Let me set it up with a bit of context:
