Here's another chapter, because I wrote it ages ago, same as 11 and didn't upload it
"Hey, Gilbert. How was Arthur's house?" Antonio asked, leaning forwards over his business studies' desk and interrupted Gilbert's chart of the Growth Of Bean Plant Industries.
"It was... weird. His sister started punching me."
"Deirdre? Perri hates her, so much. Almost as much as I loathe Arthur," Antonio said. "Oh, by the way, Francis' not coming to class today, so if he's not at Maths last period, don't freak out okay?"
A/N They have a 6 day schedule which means they don't have the same classes at the same times everyday. It is NOT an inconstency in the storyline.
"Why isn't he in class?"
"Um, because he's got his dad's..." Antonio broke off. "Look, I'll tell you at lunch, alright? Meet me by the memorials."
"OK," Gilbert agreed. He didn't have any classes with Antonio until seventh period, which was after lunch, so he didn't get to tell him that he was confused by all the secrecy.
"What's going on?" Gilbert asked straight away when he pulled up outside the memorial doorway.
"Read that. And tell me if you don't get it."
Rene Francis Bonnefoy born 1964 died 2009. Loving father and husband.
Mailys Danica Bonnefoy born 1998 died 2009. Much loved daughter and little sister.
"Oh my god," Gilbert mumbled. "Poor Francis."
"Yeah. I've known him since I was three, and I can still remember when Mai and Mr Bonnefoy died. Francis was so distraught... he didn't sleep for nearly eleven days. And his mother had to tell him to eat."
"Did you know them well?"
"Mai was my first girlfriend. I was twelve and she was eleven."
The bell rang, so Gilbert and Antonio both trooped to their respective classes- Science and Art. But Antonio's eyes were still filled with tears and Gilbert still felt horrible.
