Seat 9C
Empty chair,
no student sitting in it.
The teacher was planning on changing seats on November 5th, but now that she’s gone she can’t stand not seeing her there.
A girl planned to die November 4th because it was the day of her absolute misery the year before.
and she was successful.
Which is what everyone told her she could never be.
The girl was struggling to keep up and was trying her hardest, but her hardest wasn’t enough.
The only thing she was good at was reminding herself of reasons to leave.
her teacher was one of them.
She loved her math teacher, she reminded her so much of teachers she’s had before, but that’s what killed her.
Knowing that her teacher would continue to change the seating chart.
Because she couldn’t stand to not see the board any more.
