Also this story is based on the book: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver; its an amazing book and i recommend it to read if you havent already

Disclaimer: I don't own the basis of the story or the characters just the idea to write this story similar to another of my favorite books


All I heard my whole life was that right before you die your life flashes before your eyes. I mean that's what movies, TV. books, everything pretty much said and they had to be right, right? Well that was wrong at least for me it was.

What I wanted to be thinking about was happy times that took my breath away like maybe the first time I kissed my boyfriend Kyle Kingston at winter formal our freshman year in front of the entire school so that everyone knew that we were official, or the time me and my best friends Sharpay, Taylor, and Kate went costume shopping for a Halloween party our Junior year and the whole store probably thought we were drunk from how much we were laughing, or my sweet sixteen when I partied the night away outside under the stars.

Anything that was worth remembering but instead I thought of Kelsi Neilson. I thought of the time in 8th grade English Class and we were picking partners to work on a project when Sharpay decided she wanted Kelsi as her partner so she told the whole class she wanted Kelsi as her partner or well she said she wanted the "nerdy girl with the glasses on" to be her partner. At the time I just laughed knowing it was just Sharpay being who she was and she probably thought she was doing Kelsi a favor by getting her paired up with the most popular girl in the school as Sharpay and pretty much everyone thought she was.

But the look on Kelsi's face when I looked over at her after what Sharpay said told a different story. Her face was red with embarrassment and she tried to laugh it off with everyone else but anyone could she was hurt by the statement Sharpay made about her. That was the thing with Sharpay she was blunt and honest about what was on her mind and she really didn't care if she hurt your feelings.

I felt bad for Kelsi because though she might have looked nerdy she was actually a really cool girl to be around. Actually when we entered high school Kelsi really didn't look nerdy at all, she got contacts over the summer and enhanced her wardrobe so she looked slightly more girly and less well nerdy. She even became friends with Sharpay in high school when they both joined the drama club, Kelsi composed the plays and Sharpay starred in them.

Sharpay seemed to think that Kelsi wasn't the nerd she was in middle school anymore; she even brought it up at one of the play wrap-up parties saying how much Kelsi had changed for the good since her middle school days. Everyone was nodding and smiling in agreement even Kelsi but I could have sworn for a moment I saw that same red embarrassed look I saw on her face that day in middle school English class.

That was just one strange thing, what else was strange was that we were talking about it, about what it would be like right before you died. I don't exactly remember how we started talking about it, All I remember was Kate being annoyed about me being in the front passenger seat like I always was and wouldn't sit still as every other minute she was leaning forward trying to change the station on the radio to a different song even though it was my privilege as I was sitting in the front seat. The theme song for the show The buried life came on and of course Kate recognized it as it was one of her favorite shows and proceeded on asking us what we wanted to do before we died, Sharpay wanted to star on Broadway and eventually become a movie star, Taylor wanted to graduate from Stanford and become a lawyer, Kate wanted to be a famous photographer or model, and as for me I just wasn't concerned with my future past graduating high school. I mean I knew I'd go to college but as for what I'd do after college I had no idea. I mean I wanted to get married and start a family someday but I guess I can't really do that If I'm dead right?

After that conversation ended Sharpay pulled out a cigarette, lighting it as she opened the window letting in the cool winter air in the car. Kate and Taylor started arguing over something stupid, I think it was another of Taylor's rants of how she thought Kate was wasting her life trying to be a photographer and that she should spend her time doing something that will be more worth it later in life. Well needless to say Kate didn't take it very well and she called her a bitch and Taylor slapped her and they started hitting each other and I tried to break it up but it was kind of hard as I was in the front seat, and they kept bumping Sharpay's seat which just pissed her off making her take her eyes off the road a moment to break up the fight.

After the fight was broken up Sharpay made a fast movement to turn her head back towards the road which ended up shaking off the end of her cigarette onto her lap making her throw out of expletives trying to wipe it off, and as she looked up towards the and screaming something I couldn't quite make out like cop or box or something but I didn't see anything other than the car flipping over into the darkness of the woods. I remember hearing screaming and the sound of the windows breaking and the parts of the car smashing as the hit the ground flipping multiple times until it came to a freezing stop as I was laying on my side on the ground with the dirt right on my face as there was no window left to protect my face from the earth under my bruised and bloody face.

The last thing I saw was Kelsi's face popping up as an image in my head before I blacked out into the nothingness. The thing is when it happened I didn't realize it's going to happen so you have no time to prepare for not being there anymore. In my case I didn't even get to say goodbye because I didn't know. I was too busy worrying about the now meaningless events that would be going on that day, like getting bunches of candy canes from my friends for Winter Wonderland Day. But if I wasn't so concerned with the other stuff maybe things would be different, maybe. Most people don't get a second chance but I got seven. Seven chances to relive the same day over and realize what I'm really missing out on and maybe even get a chance to live again?

But in order for that to happen I'll have to live my possible last day first….
