Bill's Story (3676 words) |
 | Bill was only a 14 year old kid who didn't expect this, didn't know what to do, and he was unable to stop it. |
 | Bill was out at school, and he was one of a group of kids who put up flyers about the assembly and promoted people attending the school board meeting to support the speech. |
