I found the note tucked inside my locker, a simple, folded piece of paper. My throat felt constricted. "Best of luck." That was all. I’d spent years, *years*, learning from him. I had asked him for advice so many times, asked so many questions. Now, he’s gone. Without a word. The metal of the locker felt cold against my palm as I slammed the door shut, the sound echoing in the empty hallway. The feeling in my stomach was like being punched.
