Someone walked up to my table during my late lunch today and put her plate down. I looked at her for awhile and wanted to ask her why she wanted to sit at my table. However after looking at her face for awhile, I realized that she's a classmate from my sec sch! I didn't know she's also studying here. She looked kind of different probably because she's become so so tanned. To her, I still looked the same after all these years (which I shall take as a compliment haha!).
We haven't really kept in contact with the other classmates from sec sch too. However, when she told me that she heard one of them had passed away a few years back, it was really shocking. Worst was the fact that it was a case of suicide. That was really tragic... Strangely, it's always people who seem unlikely to commit suicide who decide to end their lives. But then, that was so many years ago since I saw her. In fact, I hardly knew her back then too though we were classmates. Just remember her as someone who looked Japanese with her rosy cheeks and small, smiley eyes and cheerful demeanor. Perhaps she had changed drastically after all these years. My friend who told me about this could not confirm the reason. Nonetheless, it's s waste of a young life that would otherwise have a bright future.
Death of an ex- classmate or anyone our age is difficult to accept. That's because it's not a natural age to pass on, much less due to such a reason like suicide. I found it really disturbing somehow but I hope she could rest in peace after whatever she was struggling with.
