A girl hugged her knees, her honey blonde hair blocking her face. She was sitting alone on freeday, no one came near her. From behind her strands of hair, her velvet green eyes showed nothing but sadness.

The bell rang, kids stopped what they were doing and broke off to the school. They were going to get their belongings, but the girl just stood up, her dusted peach dress smoothing out, she looked at the school then left.

Walking down the sidewalk, going home, the girl stopped once she hit a stop sign. Cars were coming fast, people started screaming, then... BOOM! The little girl fell, blood pouring out from her chest. Seconds later she was dead.
