My life was darker without you. I no longer saw your smile... Or heard your cute little giggles when you were reading in class. In ways it was brighter, I no longer saw you being pushed around in the halls, I no longer heard bad things about you. The first few weeks of you being  gone was full of whispering and gossiping. People need to grow up, I feel as if I was the only one that missed you. My friends missed the old me. After a year or so I guess I moved on... I decided to be a shining star in your place, not because I was better but because I didn't want others to feel how I felt.
