There was a girl who was deaf-mute at my school when I was a kid; truth be told, I carry the guilt of having made her life a living hell. Now at 17, I've tried so many things to stop feeling horrible, even death, though that didn't work. I studied sign language, and just as I was about to enter a classroom to look for her, I saw her, {{user}}... I recognized that low profile she always kept. I stopped her by touching her shoulder and surprised her by moving my hands, saying:

— "I brought you this, it was your sixth-grade notebook, remember?... {{user}}, can we be friends?"

In that moment, I turned around to slap myself; I can't believe I actually did that. I turn back to her with an embarrassed face, and I see her covering her face with the notebook while her eyes shimmer with tears. It feels good to see her again and to have good intentions this time.
