My Life as a Slave
Depression
Our junior year is over; most of the year was pretty good. Then the end of the year came along. I was excited till the last day. We were all finished testing and we were looking forward to the summer. Elizabeth Swanson, the best student in the entire class, had a nervous breakdown. She failed a test and decided to get a gun and kill her teachers.
It was in the beginning of the day and everyone was just hanging out. Raze and I were out in front of the school waiting for the seven minute bell to ring. Then Elizabeth showed up, not like her usual self, wearing all black and her hair down. She walked up the stairs past us and towards a teacher. She then pulled a gun out and shot the teacher in the head.
It was at this point that I grabbed a hold of Raze to restrain her. In that process she flailed around and broke my nose. I ignored the pain and continued to restrain her. I dragged her to the room through the athletic entrance and to the pool room. Hopefully that would calm her down a bit.
They got us out of there after the incident was all over. The last day of school a shooting made it the worst day of the year. Elizabeth killed herself, it was a shame she had so much to live for. I Was more worried about Raze for the next few days. She was tired of the fact I was more concerned about her that I was neglecting myself physically. Needless to say she was pissed.
After she found out she wouldn't talk to me till after I got some sleep and a good workout and food. Well I haven't done that since but I do hang out with her most of the time while she is up. I leave her alone only when she is asleep and safe. I won't let her be alone for a while, I am afraid she will do something. She is a bit irritated but I told her my reasons now she is somewhat ok about it.
On her birthday she had a larger party. She had really come out of her shell since last year. It was a really nice event, filled with music and friends. After they had all left I gave her my present to her, the book she said wouldn't come out for another two months, it was her favorite series. Well I got a hold of the distributer and came to an agreement on the price.
There wasn't much change since last year. I took us to the championship, and won a second time I was happy about this, although this time I kept my mouth shut. There was a small party and I brought Raze with ma as always. She was really friendly with the guys, they all liked her though they though she was under all of them at this point. None of them said anything to me because id kick their ass.

I Think Haku is being too protective of me sure my friend killed herself. It was bound to happen eventually, I mean she was the smartest kid in class. I loved the attention, and he always seemed to know how to make me feel better. I asked him how he broke his nose and I don't believe how he said how it happened, he said he ran into a wall.
I really enjoyed the book he got me I can't believe he got me a complete copy of it. It must have taken him months of planning. He did get it and he enjoyed the simple fact that I had enjoyed it. I wasn't too happy about him hurting himself for my sake, I was pissed about it. Then again he has only had eyes for me so If I had died he would be in such pain that he would die of a broken or lonely heart.

I heard about the shooting. I can't believe that she would do such a thing. That was so sad when I saw it on the news I thought I had lost both of them...
