As I entered the classroom that day with a brilliant feeling, of sensitivity. I noticed her from across the classroom, we were sitting in a RE lesson. The room was dim and gloomy but somehow she shone like gold, a sweet little kitten in a yard full of dogs, a thing of absolute beauty. I could not resist looking at her, all day I watched her, I could not stop myself, she was beautiful. As I was walking down the long dim corridor towards the main reception area to deliver a letter, I could hear voices from the bright classrooms. I could feel a cool breeze coming from the classrooms along the corridor. As I slowly walked down the dim and gloomy corridor to the light of the reception area, I saw her, standing at reception, she looked so beautiful, I finally got the courage up to say Hi. She smiled one of the most beautiful smiles in the world. At that moment I noticed her true beauty, she was a goddess. In my eyes she looked like a daffodil in a golden spring meadow. I felt a strange feeling, a feeling of happiness and joy. I felt I was in love with this angel as I knew her.
It was an icy cold Tuesday afternoon, three days till the end of the summer term. I was looking forward to relaxing for six long bright summer weeks. I was sitting in an English lesson watching a production of King Lear on the television screen. It was boring. I could not stop thinking about her, my little angel, she sent my mind crazy. I desperately needed to know her name, I asked my friend, he didn’t know, but he was going to find out.
The next morning, I was getting ready for school, when the phone rang. “Hello, can I speak to Mr Wake,” said the woman on the phone. I knew that something had happened. My reality was turned upside down, like a science fiction movie.
“He is currently away at the moment,” replied my mother.
“Are you Caroline Wake?” asked the woman.
“No, I am not.” Replied my mother.
It was a phone call, someone had died. My life felt like a rolling ball. Never again did I want that to happen to me. I found out the name of my little angel, Kayleigh, The name of the heavens. The name for all angels. She had opened my eyes to the world of love. Thoughout the summer holidays all I could do was think about my little angel, Kayleigh, she was an Egyptian Queen.
It was the start of a new school year, I was anxious to see Kayleigh. She was waiting by the fence. I slowly walked towards her. I casually introduced myself. She smiled at me; I felt a burning sensation in the back of my throat. I suddenly started speaking my thoughts.
“Kayleigh, will you go out with me?” I asked.
“Yes I will,” she replied in a soft sweet voice.
The next three weeks were like an eternity in heaven, my life felt different. I now had the one thing that would make my life complete. I did not want to lose her. Day by day, we drifted further apart, I felt lonely and I felt scared. She had used me to get to someone else. She used me for her own little game, she had left me.
I didn’t know what to do, I felt angry I felt like death was an early release. She was going to pay. I had arranged to meet her at the corner of the school to talk. I slowly walked along the dark road towards the school, suddenly I heard a noise from a dark corner connecting the footpath to the road, I slowly walked towards the noise, and then a cat jumped from the darkness. I shivered and felt a sigh of relief.
I saw her waiting by the tennis courts at the edge of the school, I walked towards her. “Are you ok,” she said. “What’s wrong?” You sounded shocked and upset. We slowly walked up the path towards the school. “Why don’t you love me anymore?” I screamed. “I do love you,” she screamed. “You were just using me for your own little game” I shouted. “No I wasn’t.” she screamed again. “I truly loved you.”
“I hate you,” I shouted at her “you make me sick” “don’t say that, your hurting me” she shouted. She began to walk away from me. “Don’t you walk away from me?” I screamed as I pulled a gun from my coat pocket. My feelings had changed for her. I now felt angry and upset, betrayed. “We can fix things.” She was screaming. “We can make it work.” I slowly edged the gun towards my head. “It’s too late!” I shouted. “We are finished.” I slowly tightened my finger. Kayleigh lunged forward towards me, and then there was a bang as she fell into my arms. “I love you,” she said. “We could have been together, forever.” “What have I done, I am sorry,” I screamed. “Please, forgive me.” “I forgive you John.” She said as her eyes began to close.
What had I done? I had killed her. I slowly walked away, my head spinning out of control; my thoughtless actions had killed a thing of beauty. She was now with the angels. There was only one option, kill myself. I slowly pulled the gun to my head. At that instant moment my times with her where flashing before my eyes then I saw her lying there. “Love is forever,” I kept repeating in my head. “Love is forever, love will never die, I love you Kayleigh.” As I pulled the trigger.
