The preacher did not say anything special, it was almost like he read from a book and after what seemed like forever, he said the closing prayer and subtly left the pulpit.
Then I knew it was my cue to give my speech. Emily's sister had told me I was to go on stage immediately after the preacher left.
I went to the stage, everyone looked like a mold of black clay through the tears in my eyes.
I looked around and saw Alicia, she was with mum, Mauve and Eric. That made me smile a little.
At another corner was George and some people from school.
I did not say anything for a while, I did not know what to say and then I began to wish I had prepared something, anything, to save myself from disgrace.
I cleared my throat.
'My name is Davis Kassandra, I am Harris Lily's best friend.
The story of how we met is unclear to me because I have known Lily all my life. We've been through happy times, sad times, and all times.
