Micah was one of my closest friends. I could talk to him about anything and I’d feel safe. He did silly things like late at night when his parents were sleeping, we were on call. He decided to make ramen in call. He said how it tasted bad and we joked around about it. We talked about rock climbing, cooking at his house. I was supposed to treat him to food at In and Out to repay him for his kindness. “next time” he said or “see you tomorrow” he said the day before he passed. It was a normal day for us. During lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays he normally got Cappuccino and i made fun of him for that. I told him how it’s such a girly drink. That day he decided to buy an Americano. I tried to make fun of that one too but i couldn’t lol. He said “try it” they didn’t have straws so instead we used this pasta noodle and dipped it in to try. I’m not sure why they had pasta noodles but they did. The coffee was so bitter. I don’t know if Micah liked it but he spilt it not once but twice on the table. it was funny. It was just a normal day.

“I’m sorry.”
he messaged me around 5 in the afternoon. He never responded to my messages after.I don’t think it was suicide. Micah and I made a promise that we wouldn’t do anything. No self harm… No death. I don’t think Micah was the type to break promises. He had so much hope and promise. The hackathon… I wanted him to join it. We joked… I called him a NEET ( some one who’s career is on the computer and never goes outside.) He agreed that he’d be like that. He was such a smart, caring, amazing person. He did enjoy this school (MECHS) he said so himself. So many things that I wanted to do with Micah. He did things that made me happy and sad. He was by my side here for me. He was a good kid. His phone kept dying haha. I know that has pretty much no meaning but it was funny. I have to go but i’ll leave this message up… If any one reads this. Rest in peace Micah. One of my closest friends. I will cherish you. I hope you are in a better place.

And that damn grinch sweater from a run he did. He wore it even past winter. Dang it micah. I joked with him about that sweater. Things so small leave such a big impact.

Micah’s student ID… He thought he looked like a prisoner in it. that photo was so funny. I photoshopped him in a orange/black striped jail uniform with a mug shot sign. He laughed so hard at that. I still have the photo, I don’t know if it’d be appropirate to share here but micah’s face was so funny he laughed at it. It was when his hair wasn’t braided. I also joked about his half finished hair. it looked like a crown. He didn’t agree until a day later when he noticed the crown like qualities.

Micah had the nicest smile. It was beautiful. I didn’t get to make it to the memorial. I haven’t been stable. I’ve been missing school and it’s hard to do anything. I know it was an accident. He didn’t do it intentionally. I doubt that he did. I knew he had some issues, we talked about it. He told me that he wouldn’t do anything if i didn’t. I kept my promise.

Sorry i’m messaging a lot… I haven’t been able to talk about micah with people. This is a place to kinda get things out. Micah was special. It doesn’t feel real. It’s like he’ll waltz through the door and say “hi! it was a prank! i got you guys haha!” With his normal beautiful smile. He surprised me in so many different ways. He was a great person.

I am so happy i got to know him. He was amazing. Thank you for bringing him into this world. I hope some how some way we meet again.

Oh yeah, His hand writing was the WORST he was laughing as we compared my writing to his (mine is also horrible) we tried to see who’s writing was better (tough competition because mine is soooo bad) .

Micah cared about others really. We ran against eachother for VP and he won. He went to shake my hand haha. He was honorable. After that day we got closer. Electives 2nd period. One row infront of me next to jacen. We were all making stupid jokes. One of our more mature friends was always there to call us dumb for the jokes we made (my friend meant it in a funny way) Micah was nice. he was kind. He had a weird sense of humor, I loved it. We could talk on the same wave length. It’s hard to find that in people. Micah meant a lot to me.
