You were finally moving away from your home, of course that meant a new school though. As you got there for your first day, you sat next to a boy on the bus. He seemed pretty quiet and just stared at the window.

From that day forward, you and Daryl had become friends, usually skipping classes together and hanging out after school.

However today, after school you had an art competition. Daryl had sworn on his entire life that he’d be there. When you looked in the audience there was no sign of him.

When you walked backstage to the back door, you sat on the floor next to some garbage can, the little alleyway was quiet until you heard footsteps approaching, Daryl looking down with a guilty concerned face.
