This is not actually a scary story for me... It happened when I was in high school...
I have a best friend in high school, his name is Danny. We were classmates back then and team mates in our school. We can say that we are like the "DUO" in our basketball team in our school... We share a lot of pranks, hardships, championships amongst other things...
One morning, I woke up around 4:30 because the phone was ringing. I answered the call and it was Danny. "Hey bro, have you answered the assignments already? Are you done with the projects and our reports?" I was surprised that he was very eager with the assignments and our reports. It was unusual for him to ask about school stuff, because he is one stubborn student... I answered "of course, are you sick or what? Calling me so early in the morning and very concerned about school projects?"... He just laughed and kept quiet for about a few seconds... I asked why. He said "nothing, just want to say to you that start being serious with your studies. Its time for us to be mature and quit making your parents cry...", I just laughed and said "yeah right." he said goodbye already and said these words I can't forget " life is short, make sure that you enjoy every moment in life and go for the things that will make you a better person and happier person". Then he hung up...
Amazed with what he said I hurried to school after getting ready. I got in the classroom earlier than before. The 1st bell rang and he was late... I even told my classmates about him calling me saying those weird words. They were laughing and one of my classmates even commented that " maybe he is about to die!" after saying that, there was a silence in the room as if an angel passed... A knock in the door caught our attention...Danny's parents! They were with my adviser... My adviser called me; Danny's parents were looking at me. When I got close to them, his mom hugged me tight and suddenly burst into tears... "Is there a problem? Did anything happen to Danny?" I asked... My adviser said "He's gone..." Making sure I heard her right, I asked again... "Danny is no longer with us..." Danny's dad said to me..." he got stabbed last night in the basketball court, one of his rivals did it". Of course I didn't believe it at first, because I told them that he even called me this morning... His parents said it couldn't happen. I asked them what time he passed away, they said its 4:15 am... And he called me up 4:30...
Until now, what he said to me is still my philosophy in life...
"Life is short, do what makes you a better and happier person"
