Every single Friday evening I see this boy, i know he’s in 6th grade since he’s in my school. (In France 6th graders and with 7th, 8th and 9th graders) He’s the type of kid who will say he’s a victim of society and his friends forced him to do things to his parents, who will not respect anyone because he feels invincible. But I’m convinced that behind all of that, there’s a emptiness or something like that. Or he wants to prove something…
So as I said at the beginning I see him every Friday evening when I’m coming back from guitar (around 8-9pm). He’s always with his group of friends and some bigger kids who are probably 2-3 years older.
Whenever I see them, they’re always drinking and smoking… and I hate smokers especially at his age…
Last Friday, he was lying on the floor, next to vomit. He just couldn’t wake up, and i didn’t do anything. I watched from far away. It might seem bad to do this, but some adults were already taking care of the situation. What shocked me the most was the reaction of the group… the older kids were smoking and looking at him but weren’t panicking. Unlike his friends, they were next to him, they did seem to try and play it cool to not seem “uncool” I guess. But eventually the adults did call an ambulance… and I haven’t seen him this week… at all…
I don’t know why but I do feel kinda disappointed in him. It does feel like he has something which makes him act stupidly…
He is luckily enough not dead but, he is somehow part of my routine. I see him every Friday evening and I did start to feel curious about what his group and him were doing. Even if I thought it was bad… and that day, i did stop to stare, because I was in shock… the curly haired boy was “sick”
I hope he’s ok and the next time I see him and I really do hope he won’t be drinking or smoking again…
