The hall was somber. Murmurs reverberated around the world, filling the room with a sort of static that made your skin crawl. It made you uncomfortable, but there was no way to escape it.
"Do you know what happened?" Came one whisper.
"Apparently it was the ugliest car accident ever. I'm actually glad I didn't see it happen." Replied another whisper.
"Yeah but what actually happened?" Insisted the voice.
"I heard that Caine kid was behind the wheel." Suggested another voice.
"Yeah! And he was drunk!" An excited input came in.
Suddenly it was a negative, aggressive energy replacing the somber one.
"Who does he think he is? Is he stupid or something?"
"How could he do something like that to Mike?"
"I don't even know how he thought he was cool enough to hang out with Mike."
"Yeah! Mike was the good guy..."
As the Principle walked the steps up the stage and took his place by the podium, overshadowed by the big photo of Mike's portrait to his left that had been adorned by bouquets of flowers, the hall grew quiet as they waited for some answers.
The Principle cleared his throat before beginning his little speech. "Good morning everyone. Although it is not a good morning for us in our time in mourning." A few girls in the crowd started bawling already. "Yes indeed it is a sad day for us as we sit here today in remembrance to a student who has touched many hearts. Some might say he was taken too young, some others would say it was his time, but all we know is that heaven has gained a great soul. He will be greatly missed by all."
A moment of silence was shared for Mike, and between the prayers the words of hate lay on the tongues of so many, cursing Caine for his sins. 660Please respect copyright.PENANAfqJzQaD9Rw

As the heads stayed bowed a dark figure with a hood covering his face, limped out with a single crutch, unable to handle the hateful thoughts that ran through the crowd. 660Please respect copyright.PENANAzErU5OVEBS
