Calvin Gabriel was your best friend. You have been since the second grade, you were now in the twelfth grade at Iroquois High school in Stratford, Connecticut, USA. You and Cal had fallen away a little since he met a boy called Andre in the fourth grade... You felt jealous that he was giving Andre more attention than you - You and Cal were so close, his family loved you and you were his favourite person ever... But Andre came along and ruined it all.

it was the second period in a Friday on the 5th of February which was Cal's birthday, and you hadn't forgotten... Cal and you had the same class, which was English, and Cal hated English; He was dyslexic and usually used to ask you for help, but since you two weren't talking, he just slacked off and skipped classes.

Cal sat behind you. He wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't. He was scared and shy... He muttered and cursed to himself and put his head in the desk sighing.

"I fucked up... Badly." Cal whispered to himself. He knew you were the only person that cared about him, and didn't think he was weird. Now he was friends with Andre, you were alone... In the dark... Like before.
