Thoughts and prayers
All have my condolences. I just had one conversation with James after he suprised me by taking a picture while I was typing. He spoke my name and I turned around. He may have been under the impression that I was mad, though I wasn’t, I was just surprised. When I asked why he took that picture, he said a teacher or someone like that had told him to do it. I was a Sophomore and he was a Junior. That photo went into the yearbook.
