Harper P.O.V
I walked along the long narrow road. Umbrella in hand, sheltering me from the drizzle coming down. My shoulders ached from the weight of my satchel. My headphones blared out the irritable sound of my voice on tape as I listened to the speech i had to make in front of the whole school today.
As I reached the end of the road and turned the corner towards the bus stop I saw the decrepit bungalow that Theo used to live in. Theo was my best friend but seven months ago he died in a bike accident. After that I became stressed, I started dropping marks at school and to top it all off my twin sister, Hermione, received a letter accepting her into a special boarding school for the top 5% of students in the country. I am cleverer than her but due to certain circumstances my levels had dropped.
September came and Hermione left to go to her new school. I was starting at the local secondary school, I had to up my results majorly if I wanted to do well this year. I had to get up from the level 2's I received in SATs up to level 6 and 7's. One week into term we had CATs tests, which test the way you think, I could hardly answer any of the questions. Results came a month later, I had got very low on everything, I still hadn't had a letter from Hermione and that is when I decided I'd had enough.
I wanted to just get away from my life, I scrawled out a note saying:
Dear Family, I have gone to be with Theo love Harper xxx
I tipped a whole load of pills onto my hand and I swallowed them.
