I sat in my treehouse that seemed to float because of the small tree that held it. I pet my old cat snuggles as he purred. On the climbing rope attached to my tree house there's a tree trunk chunk that snuggles likes cling on. My dad called to me from the house.
"Hun someone's on the phone for you"
I picked up snuggles and he mewed and we both left the tree house. We went back into our house that stands on stilts but there's no real reason why. We don't live near the beach or anything. As I walked in I looked at my dad who looked really confused and sad. I place SUGGLES on the floor and take the phone. It was two of the girls in my class. Rachel and Megan but they had a monotone voice as the said hi.
"Leo we need you to head to the river. I'm sure there's a crowd of kids heading this way in about ten mins."
Rachel said a bit upset.
"You need to bring your canteen and some food because Rachel is hungry"
Megan said then I could hear and ow on the other side of the line.
"Okay will do...hey guys what is this even for?"
The line stayed silent.
"Leo just please come"

As I walked up with a group of four including Evan,Ben,Ethan,and Haley we could all see what looked like an expensive coffin.
The river sparkled and Megan and Rachel were picking petals off roses and putting them into a huge bin. Haley walked up to Rachel and Megan then Natalia basically came out of nowhere and hugged them. I looked at their eyes and all their eye makeup was coming off or running down their faces. Completely confused I asked Ben what was happening and he just looked at Evan and Evan finally spoke.
"Dude..... Sophia died"
"What...why?how?where?when?"my voice squeaked as I asked him.
"I'm not sure but she died two days ago in the hospital. The reason we are here is because Natalia was given Sophia's will and a description of where she wants to be to be buried."
Evan said while looking on the ground.
"Yeah and when she was fading away they asked her if she wanted the things on the list." Ben chuckled "apparently she said 'hell yes'"

(Idk why but I can't remember the rest of the talking. This is to when Natalie,Haley, Meagan,and Rachel finished their speeches about me. Quick note pretty much EVERY kid in my class and my swim team age group are there at the river watching)

They gently put the covered Sophia with the red rose petals over her eternal sleeping body . Her eyes were gently shut and she was in a long baby blue dress.her nails were painted with kitten pictures and she had a sunflower in her hands. Her short dirty blonde hair wasn't wavy like usual it looked like someone straighten it.
RJ and Jimmy two of the stronger guys in my class closed the coffin. Natalie stood up and said
"In her last moments of life she said she doesn't want mourning over her death but she wants it to be something that opens all of our eyes to notice what life is. So we will run the streets after her body has floated away and we will keep her in our hearts as long as we can."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled with tears in their eyes because everyone knows sophia would have said something stupid like run the streets and be loud and obnoxious so people know that she has left the world spiritually.
RJ and Jimmy stepped into the river with the coffin and gently placed it into the water and let go. Everyone watched as the coffin quickly went down the river. RJ and Jimmy came out of the water. Megan stood up and said
"We will now run the streets in memory of Sophia!" Everyone began to run back and I just followed as I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I saw the quickest boys laughing as they raced each other in the front of the huge crowd. The girls who hate running still jogged in the back. I soon made it to my house and I my dad came out of the house and hugged me.
"I heard what happened I'm sorry for your friend." I just nod.
(I woke up and I was sobbing. I was so scared of this I almost threw up but instead I texted my friend Rachel because I wanted to tell her I was gonna write it on wattpad. I'm just gonna say I hope I never have a dream about another death or funeral about my family or myself EVER AGAIN)
