They found her body in that little walk thru tunnel on 108th I'd played in hundreds of times as a kid. Seeing it all sealed up whenever I go to my dads house takes me right back to that summer.
My first day at Corliss we had a moment of silence in my division (home room) because she was supposed to have been there. Her name was still on the dam roll call
because she was killed the week before school started. Would have been sitting right in front of me.
After Ms Mount told us that, we left her seat open for months. It was a high key traumatizing first day of High school for me.
