A High five to the element Francium

     9th Grade i always saw you around in Biology class but as sitting charts may have it we never sat together. It wasn't until Chemistry class on the first day of school. I got to draw out the element "K" for Potassium. The draw that led me to sit in the Alkali metals table. I was probably the 3rd one to arrive at the table. The tardy bell rung and the first day of chemistry begun, and to be honest I was completely nervous to be sitting in a table with strangers. Especially when I was the only sophomore in a table of Juniors. I was quite intimidated with one of the smartest people sitting in front of me (Francium) and one of the most short tempered and debatable character of  Cesium. The only person I  found approachable was Rubidium. This wasn't for long. Maybe a week after, we started to talk Cesium suddenly seemed less angry and you, Francium also looked nicer. Soon the table became close, mostly due to not understanding those dreadful assignments. We had to ALWAYS ask for your help in order to somewhat understand what Ms O was talking about. We were no longer strangers we were friends. Where Cesium always talked about a truck he wanted to buy and him constantly saying "omg that guy was so dumb like UGH I asked for the title a month ago and i still don't have it like why" and usually the person to calm him down was you with your logical explanations and helpful advice. And each time I was under the mood our doodles made me become happier. Chemistry wasn't as bad anymore, of course the struggle of understanding it was kept through out the year but the joy the table and a sense of humor that was created made it amazing. Where I would act like a 5 year old kid just to make the class less boring. I would always draw on your hands with markers that still worked from out chemistry basket. Of course you would get annoyed (who wouldn't) but you always kept smiling. And in the following year we talked less due to not having classes together but I saw you shine your talent in the musical as Arvide. Each time I had to shine the spotlight on you I always hummed or sometimes sung the song very softly because it was one of my favorites. Sorry for not giving you the high five I promised to give you on the last day of school of your Senior year. I never saw you on the last days. And sorry for our table not being able to win Jeopardy because we were too caught up in our Alkali metal of a group and not actually listening to the teacher at times. But Thank you for cheering me up . And sure as heck Thank you for making our table pull through Chemistry we wouldn't have passed the class without your patience and OMG amazing brain of yours. I truly wished it didn't have to be like this. I know you would have done great things with that amazing mind and personality of yours. May you Rest in peace.
