Disappeared

Gone

He was the one person in my class that no one could steer their gazes from. From the freckles that brushed along his lightly tinted rose cheeks to the soft dimples that arose from his painfully caring smiles that could brighten anyone's day. Well, when he disappeared into thin air, his name became not only popular in our so well-known school but also along the many new stations.

If I were to be honest, I never was one to watch his movements, like all the other preppy drug addicted teens littered around the halls. Even though that was the fact, I could still remember his smiling face as he greeted everyone in the morning. It was no wonder he was popular. I never would have thought he would disappear as quick as he did, but would anyone?

Your best friend goes missing, who would you suspect first? Their bully? Their family? Themselves, as if they had run away? A stranger, looking for a good new teenager to play with? Exactly. That is why this 'famous' boy's disappearance created such an uproar within the very halls of the school, that many found as a safe space before he was let out of those large doors by our staff. For days his name was the only one spoken from the mouths of my classmates, as if his disappearance was the gossip they had all been waiting for.

Many cried, others created rumours, some created a search party to find him but even then, nothing did any good. Then again, he was just popular and no one really knew him, not even his closest friends. He was a shut book that no one could crack. A mystery. Then again that is another reason everyone was to fascinated with him, not just by his looks, nor his smarts or caring and loving demeanor.

He was the one person in my town that no one could steer their gaze from. From his tainted broken eyes to heart aching actions as he fell deeper into a dark hole called his mind. Well, when I saw him at the railing I knew I was too late. He soon dove off and my shouts were unable to be heard as the splash rang from below. I didn't know it was him in that moment but if I did, I wouldn't have hesitated this long to say something about it. I'm sorry I held back from telling the truth of your side of the story as now it is littered with the rumours other have spread and people will not be able to accept it as I have been trying to. I'm sorry, Coren Williams.
