Meena's POV

So your probably wondering what happened between me and Leo? Well nothing. We're still friends, but we sorta like each other? I dont know its really confusing, even for me and I'm the smartest girl in the world! Anyway, Leo, Destiny, Sheeva and I have this inside joke whenever we have sleepovers or go to Red Robin for dinner.

It has been almost 4 years since we all became friends, and now we are starting 3rd grade together.

I'm currently getting ready for school, but making sure I French braid my hair. I wanted to show Destiny my hairstyle I learned over the summer. If you wondering, Destiny and Leo went to California for the summer, but now I get to see them!

I finish getting ready and go to the kitchen to make breakfast. I'm the first one up so I make coffee. I get the eggs and bacon and start making my food. After I'm done making my coffee and food, I take it to the TV room and watch Hannah Montana while eating.

DING DONG

I get up from the couch and walk to the door. I open it to see an officer with a paper in his hand.

"Hello, I'm officer Parks, is Maryam or Shah Afshar here?" The officer asks.

"MOM!" I yell. My mom comes walking in and puts her hands on my shoulder.
"Is there a problem officer?" My mother asks.

"Um no, I'm here to tell you that Douglas Davenport is... Dead." The officer says sympathetically.

My face turns pale. My uncle... Is dead. I could hear my mom sobbing while asking how he died.

"From a car crash ma'am." The officer says before giving me one more look, and leaving.

My mother shut the door and attacked me in a bone crushing hug. I on the other hand, was still frozen from shock.

My dad then walked in and asked what was wrong.

"A-an o-officer j-just c-came a-a-and t-told us t-that u-uncle Dougie I-is d-d-d-dead!!!" I stutter but start sobbing.

"Oh god!" My dad whispers.

Sheeva then emerges from the shadows with a tear-stained face.

"He-he's dead?" Sheeva chokes out. All my dad could do was nod.

"Ok umm kids were gonna take you to school today alright? It's the first day of 3rd grade you don't wanna be late now do you? You know how Montessori is come on then let's go." My mom said changing the subject and forcing a smile.

Sheeva and I nod and get our stuff. We get it the car and wait for my mom to take us.

The whole car ride was silent, besides a few sniffles here and there. We finally got out of the car and my mom came in with us. We signed in and I could here my mom tell something to the front desk lady.

"There uncle just died so can you tell the teachers to go easy on them?" My mom asks.

"Of course, thank you for letting me know." The lady says.

We walked into class and got bombarded with hugs from Leo and Destiny.

"Hey where were you? Why are you late? What happened." Leo and Destiny ask.

"Ummm, Douglas died today." I sniffle.

There faces fall and we could see them start crying.

"W-what? Why?!" Destiny screams.

"I-i don't understand he was like 20 why is he dead?" Leo asks.
"Car crash." Sheeva says.

Destiny and Leo spent the whole day trying to cheer us up. It worked for a while but when we got home, we broke down crying with our parents.

* * *

The next few days we started to recover and I became my happy self again. Sheeva also told me that our parents are planning something for our birthday and we were talking about it the whole week.

.......... Little did I know my happiness would last long..........
