That\'s right. Why give up? Evil never rests, so why should us good folks? You know, the hallway thing gave us the answer to why he left school.

No problem, I was also a student and I met him in the hallway for the first and last time. I had just left my English 4 class, and started walking in the hallway.

I was saying that in my opinion , I think that Darius had beautiful hair. Ok so, Darius let me start playing in his hair and we stood there talking. At first it was normal but then I noticed the other guy chose to stand off a little bit in the distance, away from us two and he kept getting more impatient. Over and over he just saying "He waitin for you, Bo" so I asked Darius "Is your friend ok? " and it was sad like his voice got lower and he said "Ain\'t even tryna think about that right now." ... ...View Post & Comment

No one would have listened to me. A hooty hoo in the hallway would\'ve just got me stares and attitude. People would\'ve just called me crazy or said that I was weird. Or told me to mind my business. Also , putting him on the spot in the hallway would\'ve been humiliating for him. Especially since I\'m a girl, so that also would\'ve emasculated him , and the other guy had already told him he was a b****. ... ...View Post & Comment
That kid was cussing at him?? Ok I heard him tell Darius to "Be for real for once." So by saying that, it seems like maybe they were friends because that \'for once\' implies that Darius was usually goofing off and happy. That was sad to hear and see, it\'s like the shooter and the kid chipped away at every bit of joy he had that day. This is sad. ... ...View Post & Comment
Yes calling him a b**** but he pronounced it in some kind of accent. He said "bih" instead of pronouncing the -itch part. It\'s the same word, but I think it\'s a dialect or slang. Keep in mind please that at the time, the shooting did not happen yet. I had no idea the dude that was waiting for him was going to shoot him. No wonder Darius didn\'t want to go meet him. That was his gut instinct kicking in. The look in his eyes, his body language while standing with his back against the wall. The ... ...View Post & Comment

Yes, the exact same day for certain. No guessing, no I think this, or I think that. I vividly remember touching his hair and talking to him in the hallway. I was definitely a student and I definitely spoke to him face to face that day. Yes, in the hallway off to the side. We weren\'t in the middle blocking traffic.

Friends can be fake or turn on you so that\'s what I meant. For all we know it could\'ve been an acquaintance, a relative, a roomate, etc. I highly doubt those 2 had just met that day. Nobody would just leave school with a random stranger. Those 2 had to at least have had some type of previous interaction before the hallway. When you tell somebody \'for once\' it really does imply that the person is usually not being serious enough to your liking.... ...View Post & Comment

That\'s how you know this other boy really was younger . Younger people can\'t read the room, so they don\'t know boundaries to recognize when someone don\'t want to do something.

When they both walked off, the other boy turned around and gave me the death stare. A warning glance type of look, an unsettling glare. Directly into my eyes.

It wasn\'t about physical strength or appearance. That other boy\'s voice and attitude seemed like he was the serious type. Look at this from my perspective. His demeanor was not approachable.

The other boy said, "Hurry up before she get there." And that\'s when Darius left with him. Calling him out his name didn\'t work, neither did begging in a nicer tone. But when he brought up that female, that\'s when he got his back off the wall and eventually left with that boy. To this day, I have no idea the "she" that was supposed to get there.

Now it makes sense why the younger boy was happy going out the door. So he had been begging Darius to leave with him and Darius finally gave in to his nagging.
