Right after we finished lunch, we decided to take the machine to the antique shop across the street.

Anna and Charlotte were running right in front of me while I was holding the machine in my hand. It seems like they are enjoying a running race. They are fast! No wonder they are the first and second place runners in grade 7. Me? I'm not the type for running.

Suddenly, everything slowed down.

I heard the screeching of the tires, the black body of a car flashing by and then turning to the right, disappearing into a corner. Then it's red. Red everywhere. Splattering in every direction. I see a twisted body flying across the street: it's Anna's body.

Then my brain clicked. I collapsed onto the ground. I just experienced seeing a person being hit by a car. And that person was my best friend.I screamed on top of my lungs. Me bursting with anger, grief and fear. I feel my tears rolling down my cheek. I didn't bother to wipe it.

I thought of all the wonderful time that me and Anna have spent together. Is this the end? Are you really just gonna tear my heart into a million pieces?

On top of my screaming, I picked up the sound of siren.

Screaming and siren? With this bad sounding formula, I'm starting to smell something...something strange: a disaster.
