Jay Asher said this quote

We almost bumped into each other. But your eyes were down so you didn't know it was me. And together we said it. I'm sorry.Then you looked up. You saw me. And there, in your eyes, what was it? Sadness? Pain? You moved around and tried pushing your hair away from your face. Your fingernails were painted dark blue. I watched you walk down the long stretch of hallway. I stood there and watched you disappear. Forever.
