My Bff Left Me a Note After she Died

I was talking to Lily in the school hall when Camilla, the most popular girl at school, approached us and said: “ here is the daughter of the school’s monster, no wonder no one wants to be your friend!”

Everyone started looking at Lily, her face turned bright red. She was embarrassed. People waited for her to respond but it was like her tongue was tied!

Lily’s mother, Mrs. Jane was the math teacher at our high school. She was harsh, strict with a bad reputation of intentionally failing students and none of the students liked her.

Lily has been suffering from these kinds of comments from the moment we got into high school! She was paying a price for something she had nothing to do with.

I looked at Lily, she was shaking so I turned to Camilla and said furiously: “ Watch your mouth Camilla! Go away before I record everything!”

Camilla laughed sinisterly and went on her way. Lily smiled awkwardly at me and said: “ Don’t worry Mathew, I’m fine! I’m going to my English Class. See you later!”

I could tell that she was not fine but I didn’t want to make matters worse so I smiled back and said: “ yeah sure, just don’t get any smarter! I can’t keep up with that brain of yours!”

Lily laughed. She went to her Class and I went to my football practice.

Lily and I are childhood best friends.

Our parents were neighbours first, then they became close friends and that’s how Lily and I became inseparable. We did everything together, going to school, sneaking out of the house at night to go to parties and picking each other’s outfits for special occasions!

When I broke my leg during summer vacation and couldn’t get out of bed, Lily stayed by me to watch movies and play board games so I didn't get bored fast and when her parents got divorced, Lily came and cried over my shoulder. In short, all my childhood memories involved Lily in one way or the other.


Everything was going well until we got to high school. The moment the students knew that she’s Mrs. Jane’s daughter, they started picking on her.

At first, Lily didn’t care, but then it got worse. The comments became meaner and meaner.

I asked her once: “ Can’t your mom do something about it?! I mean she’s a close friend to the principal! And what about moving schools?!”

Lily let out a heavy sigh and said: “ Mom got enough problems on her shoulders. You know she’s working two jobs to provide for Ronan and I! Moving to another school would be expensive. She would have to get a babysitter to take care of Ronan after school If I arrive late. We can’t afford that!”

And that’s why Lily had to deal with it. I was her only friend. I would keep mean girls like Camilla off, but most of the time she would be alone. And how shall i put it, she does not exactly have a strong personality. She gets scared easily.

Things were going that way until Lily was not herself anymore. She started acting strangely. One afternoon, I went to Lily’s house to work on a school project but Lily didn’t answer the door. I called her but her phone was off. I sent her messages through instagram and her other social media accounts but she didn’t even open them!

I started to worry. What happened to her?!

The next day, I went to school looking for her. After going to all the places she usually spends time at, I finally found her having lunch on one of the benches outside.

I called her: “ Hey Lily!!! Where have you been!? I’ve been looking all over for you!”

Lily was terrified when she saw me. She grabbed her things nervously and ran away without saying a single word. She even left her half eaten sandwich on the bench!!

I was confused! What is going on here!?

I followed her while calling her out “ Wait Lily! Wait!” but she kept walking until she got to the girls’ bathroom. I stopped, I couldn’t follow her in there. I waited for her but she didn’t come out!
What the hell was that about?!
