School Gym

The walk from the drop-off line to my gymnasium isn't bad. But if you haven't eaten and you have a heavy ass backpack on, it adds to the journey. My mom (43 year old single mom works two jobs, is financially good, and has 8 kids) drops me along with my four younger sisters and my three older brothers off at the drop off line at our school. it's a good school. tough, but good. and of course, my first block is gym. I guess I should introduce myself. Hi, I'm Sasha. I'm 13 and in 9th grade. I'm in mostly honors and beta clubs and stuff, but that's only because it's easier to focus on school than life. anyway. The first block is gym. after I walk my little sisters down to their elementary school, I walk back to the gymnasium, and I walk down the spiraling stairs to get to the dimly light room. I'm the first one here, which isn't a new thing, but it's dark and nice to just...chill. I it on the ground and plug my headphones in and turn my music on. I lean my head back on the concrete wall and close my eyes. When I open my eyes and look up, I see...maybe...a figure? I tilt my head, and it's still there. After taking my headphones off and standing up, the odd figure is still there. I reach for my phone as I turn my flashlight on. Shit.

School got shut down for three weeks. eventually, they found the suicide note on Mays body. No one really knows how she got there. Her black hair tied around her wrists, her neck broken, her body hanging lifeless and pale. No marks or struggles, and when the note was found and compared to her writing, they proclaimed it as suicide. Case closed.

But....Was it? I did some digging of my own. I don't really know what led me to it, but thinking about smart, sweet, May committing just seemed wrong. After I found that her grades were good, I actually asked if her brother, Noah, was okay with me interviewing him about her. From the information I gathered from him, I knew her home life wasn't that bad. So, crossing those off, I started thinking about her friends. So, after getting their consent, I interviewed all four of them. I found the same conclusion. Her lide was good. The only thing that stuck out was a bad relationship with a student.

Day passed, and I couldn't find the student. Their name is Layla. Both her and May had a fight in freshman year (both are Jouniers). Leaving Layla with a broken nose and a broken arm. May was a good fighter, I guess. After a month, I was walking into the gym, and again, being the first one there, I repeated my steps. Phone out, headphones in. I again tilted my head up. My eyes fell to the place where I found Mays body. I feel a prickle on my neck. It's like I could see the blood marks, the pain. I covered my mouth as everything played out before my eyes. The way Layla laughed and held a gun to May. making her write the note, forcing her to hang herself. After that, I passed out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Apparently, I was out for eight days. But I could remember seeing the murder. I sat up and quickly called a doctor. My mother was there but asleep so I kept quiet about it. I told him what I saw and added the evidence I collected. He ended up telling the police and they opened the case back up since I had some strong evidence. They interviewed Layla, and she confused. She was sentenced to life. I felt bad, but when the court found her guilty, Layla laughed! the fucking pyhco. Anyway. Alls well, that ends well, I guess.
