It seemed like any other day. Except it wasn't.
One of my primary schoolmates whom I've not met in years just passed away this morning. She's only eighteen. She had been suffering from brain cancer a while ago. The last time I saw her in person was about 2 years ago, when my school hosted some event (Scout's Night, I think) and loads of people from other schools came by. She was there too, and I remember noticing that she had white hair sprouting from her scalp. I thought it was probably genetic, so I didn't bother asking. At that time, I wasn't aware that she was suffering from brain cancer.
Though I was never close to her, I was taken aback when the news reached me today. Someone whom I once knew just died. I think it took everyone by surprise.
It was too sudden. Just some time ago, I was talking to her and asking her about her school. She was laughing and looking as cheerful as ever.
Reality often isn't fair.
I think I'm going to stop now. I just can't really think of anything else to say here, because I'm still trying to get over what just happened.
Right now, I really hope her family will be okay.
