11th of February 2023 - 86 days until the incident

Julijana I was very happy because it was the day of the fair. She put on a pair of jeans, a hoodie and the converses Andrija got her.

She said bye to her parents, them telling her to have fun and be safe, before she left towards the fair.

When she arrived, Andrija immediately ran and hugged her, then spun her around making her squeal and laugh. Eventually everyone arrived and they began to make their way into the fair.

At the fair was Julijana, Andrija, Natalija, Irina, Petratra, Mara, Adriana, Ema, Helena, Katarina, Angelina, Veljko, Lazar and Kosta.

Julijanas younger brother decided to go to the fair with Ana. She was sure that he definitely had a crush on her.

Purposely, they went to the fair in the evening, so it would be darker, which meant that the lights will be more prominent. It was quite a warm night too, which was good.

"Where do you want to go first?" Angelina asked everyone curiously

"Race you to the swings" Ema shouted with a laugh

This went on all night. Everyone was very happy and enjoyed themselves. They all went back-and-forth on many different rides, stopping for food at one point in the process.

Julijana had noticed that Kosta had been quite quiet all evening. He was normally very quiet, but she noticed he was being a lot quieter than usual. She went over to him.

"Are you okay?" She asked but he didn't respond with words, he only shrugged

"Well..if you ever need someone to talk too, I'm here for you okay?"

He looked over at her and mumbled "you mean that..?"

She smiled at him "yeah of course...that's what friends are for"

She patted him on the shoulder and then went back over to Andrija. Kosta smiled at her as she left.

She glanced back over at Kosta to see him, scribbling something out on a piece of paper. Her eyebrows furrowed a little, but she shrugged it off and just assumed it was Kosta being his unique self.

She wondered what was on the paper, but she didn't want to pry him, so she left it.

They were all currently about to go on the bumper cars. They all got in their cars and placed the tokens in.

"Jules you're going down!" Andrija shouted making her laugh and shout back

"Ain't no way mister!"

Eventually, everybody was in the cars and the operator was able to make it start. They all kept targeting each other and it was really fun.

The ride lasted about 5 minutes before it ended. Once it was over, they all exited slowly. Some of them were a little dizzy from going in circles.

"I-I think I've got whiplash" Adriana laughed making everyone laugh too.

Overall, it was nights like this that made them realise how much they should appreciate life as life could be taken away from them in an instant.
