Today I took a seat at lunch
...next to a big boy who sits alone everyday. I found out he was a sophmore, he should have been a junior, but was held back. I found out his parents are divorced, and he has been kicked out of school numerous times because of bad behavior. I found out he has been to over six schools. I found out that nobody dares talk to him cause of his looks, and he's judged because of his past. I found out, every lunch period he leaves school because he has no friends to sit with. I found out because of his life, he is struggling with depression, and tried to kill himself. In fourty minutes I became his friend. As the bell rang, I got up, I told him I was always there if he walked to talk. He stood up and looked me in eyes and said, "You saved me, tonight, I was just gonna stop going... But, I'm going to keep going now, I promise, because I want to find more people like you." He hugged me, and walked out,
smiling.
-before you ask, this is true.
