As I was walking on my way to Degrassi, it was cold and dark. Everywhere I looked, I saw Rick. I knew I was just seeing things, but it was scary. I just kept on seeing him, next to the tree, at the end of the block, just standing there, pointing the gun towards me.
"LEAVE ME ALONE" I screamed, feeling like a mental patient.
As I got to the school, knowing Toby was there, I saw a hoard of people. They were all setting down candles, and pictures of Jimmy.
Everyone was crying, and holding candles.
There is is. I saw Toby standing there, in a daze.
I went over and hugged him
"Toby, I know Rick was your friend, and I know you feel sorry about Jimmy."
"ITS
MY FAULT EMMA. JIMMY'S IN A COMA BECAUSE OF ME."
"What, are
you talking about. No he is not, he is in a coma because RICK shot
him"
"NO EMMA. If I wasn't Ricks friend, then his mom told me that she was going to transfer him. And so if I wasn't nice to Rick, he wouldn't come back to Degrassi, and this whole mess wouldn't have happened"
"But, you were nice to him. If you weren't he might have even shot you. But he didn't"
"EMMA, he almost shot you, and you were nice to him"
"No I wasn't"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, after the Whack Your Brain, Rick kissed me. He said he thought I was in love with him, but I told him it was just pitty. And that I only was nice because I felt bad for him"
"WAIT, RICK kissed you?"
"YEAH, but let's just forget about that and go home"
"Okay, but first I have something to set down on the steps"
"WHAT?"
"This"
"Toby walked over and set down a basketball jersey. Obviously it was one of Jimmy's.
"Where did you get one of his jersey's?" I asked.
"Ashley had one, from when she went out with Jimmy, and I saw her throw it out, and I was going to return it to Jimmy, but I always forgot to."
"Oh, well let's go back to my house now"
"OK, just lets not watch the news!"
"That's okay, I'll tell my mom to change to channel"
As we walked back home we didn't talk. The silence was nice.
