The air was gunky. Every breath felt as if I had just inhaled two packs of cigarettes. There was noise all around me, people growing impatient from the long hours of waiting. Finally, my name was called out. As I walked down the long corridor towards the double doors I had an uneasy feeling about the verdict. I’ve made many mistakes in my life, but the one thing that I truly regret is befriending the new kid in school. From the first day that I met him things went horribly wrong. I should have…
