Chapter 19 - THE EMPTY SEAT NO ONE NAMES

Keifers pov

Dammit I woke up cause of these guys yelling at each other. I realized probably slept through first period cause there was a booklet on my desk with a sticky note that said meet me which probably meant sir Alvin saw me sleeping and he just let me and when I looked right my Jay wasn't there nor was her bag.

"C-in where is Jay?"

"She went to meet Mica"

"Where's her bag?"

"She took it with her to give Mica something from it."

Seriously Jay?

That excuse might trick C-in but not me baby. I know your lies. I got up to go look for her when Sir Alvin stopped me.

"Uh sir"

"Did you see the booklet?"

"Ya I did and I apologize for that I promise it won't happen again."

"It's not about that Keifer I wanna ask you about your classmate who I'm concerned about"

"Huh? Who is that?"

Shit did I miss something happening to some one

"Joshua Venites"

Josh? Me and him have been awkward after I punched him for insulting Jay but I didn't notice much. Sir Alvin kept going

"He's acting strange like always quiet never speaking much. I mean yes that's how he was like before but now he's just physically there but mentally absent and he seems to be getting weaker and weaker. Also he's always scribbling in his notebook. Something is wrong and Mr President I need you to find out what's wrong. I'm not saying this as your teacher. I'm saying it as an adult concerned about him cause his behavior is not normal."

"Sir... I'm sorry I didn't realize I'll definitely try talking to him about it or ask someone closer to him to talk about it."

Sir nodded before speaking.

"Plz do immediately cause I don't think this is just a bad phrase- I fear he might not make it though."

"Sir, Josh isn't that type of person to do something like that I'll get eman or Denzel to talk to him right now."

"Then plz go right now."

I nodded and returned and I approached eman immediately.

"Eman we need to talk now. Privately"

Eman seemed to understand the severity of the situation so he quickly stepped out with me.

"This is about Josh. Sir Alvin thinks he's suicidal. And he wants us to stop him if he tries anything like that at all."

Eman face seemed to be going through a 100 difference emotions at once before he finally spoke again.

"Keif... I didn't notice no one did cause... Josh... Josh is always quiet. Like all the time so why would he? Now? He's not the type to just run away from his problems."

"That's what I thought too but no we were wrong. You need to talk to him and also get Denzel to do the same if he doesn't open up to you."

Eman nodded but he seemed to open his mouth and close it again. Before he finally opened it once more.

"Why aren't you trying to talk to him keifer."

"I am trying... I want to talk to him but he won't talk to me I mean he does talk to me but not like how we used to be after...you know.... I punched him that day."

Eman nodded understandingly before speaking again

"I get it. I'll go talk to him. We can't lose him as well like... You know"

I couldn't reply to talk and eman just walked off.

I missed him, I really missed him. He never met the woman I fell for, he didn't get the chance. I felt my eyes well up with tears.

Section E would always be incomplete without him...
