The news of Frank's death came as a shocker to everyone. When Toheeb had mentioned it that day to Dave, Dave had thought it was one of Toheeb's silly jokes and he had ignored him. But when the news got on the school's website later that day, he had been shocked.

All everyone in school talked about that day was how jovial and friendly Frank had always been. No one could have suspected that he was going through any form of crisis in his life. Frank was the life of every party, he brought happiness everywhere he went to. So when the authorities found the suicide note he had left behind, everyone had been shocked and surprised.

Who would have thought that a guy like that was suffering from depression.

When Dave got questioned by the authorities about Frank's death, because he was one of the few people who was with Frank the previous day before his death, he had told them that Frank, his best friend had never ever mentioned to him about being depressed before.

“He was always the happy guy, the comedian in our group”.

“Well the funniest ones are always the ones fighting the most battles” the police officer had said to Dave that day before dismissing him.

As Dave walked home that evening, he tried his best to fight back the tears that was threatening to spill out any minute. He had cried enough already. Dave remembered how they had all made plans to go see some movies at the cinema as a way to celebrate the success of their exam that weekend, but unknown to them, Frank had made his own plans.

If they had not found the suicide note with Frank's handwriting on it, Dave would have thought that his best friend had been murdered but he knew that was farfetched. Frank had no enemies, besides, he had been the last person to leave Frank's room that evening, so his friend had truly killed himself.

As Dave walked home, the words of the officer kept on repeating in his head.. “The funniest ones are always the ones fighting the most battles...”
