It was a normal morning for me, I got up feeling much better than the night before, ready to apologise to Ezra for being overly-dramatic. The walk to school felt different, something felt off. I remember feeling lonely all of a sudden, as if I was the only person existing. The morning was cold and dark and it had also rained slightly, I shivered whilst hugging myself, maybe it was just the depressing weather making me feel this way. After the long walk to school I stood in the empty corridor, which was mine and Ezra's usual meeting place. He was unusually late today, normally he is on time as he lives closer to the school than I did. ''maybe the bus is just late'', I said quietly to myself: in hopes it would make me feel a little better. Minutes turned into hours and he didn't turn up, how odd. This day will be torture without him as he is my only friend in this hellhole. I called and messaged more than 100 times, none of them going through. I called his mothers phone, however I saw that I was blocked by her. What the hell was going on? If this was a sick joke that Ezra has decided to do, it isn't funny. The bell rang and I walked over to my first lesson of the day, Literature which was my favourite lesson. I used this lesson to write in my note book all over my feelings. I looked at Ezra's empty chair beside me starting to worry, ''I haven't seen Ezra today...I'm getting really worried for him...'' I wrote in my note book. Instead of my handwriting being cursive and neat today, it was rushed and smudged symbolising how I was feeling today, I was too worried for Ezra's well being, at this point I wasn't focusing on what I was writing. I angrily threw my notebook and pen into my backpack and walked out of my class to the bathrooms. I overheard the girls in the bathroom talking about Ezra, ''Have you heard that guy Ezra deleted all of his accounts online and went missing, it's super weird.'' The girl speaking about him was called Lila, she had a massive crush on him. Therefore it's no surprise that she realised his accounts were all deleted. With trembling hands, I picked my phone up from my pocket searching for all of his social media ''this account does not exist''. I dropped my phone on the bathroom floor from pure shock. Where the hell is he and what is going on? ''he might have died!'' the second girl said, her name was Rosie. She was the stupid one always hyping up Lila's delusional thoughts about Ezra apparently liking her back, lets be real he never once looked at her. She was never friends with him, why did she act like she was close to him like I was. Weeks and then months had gone by without Ezra, I had moved house recently, not bothering to take any of my belongings with me as it all reminded me of him... i couldn't even say his name anymore or even picture his face. It all hurt way too much but I wasn't ready to let go just yet. As time went on, the rumours about Ezra never stopped, apparently he had been kidnapped by a gang, that was the latest rumour. We were all nearly 16 and people were still making jokes and rumours about Ezra's disappearance. They should all grow up. I ignored the rumours and never stopped believing that he was alright and just moved away, I never gave up looking for him and finding ways to contact him.
