I was laughing as the air suddenly exploded around us. We both screamed but our voices were soon drowned out by sudden ringing in our ears. I threw my arms up to protect my face. I felt debris rip at my arms and soon felt warm blood trickle down. The force of the explosion threw me backwards and I landed on my back in the grass. Slowly, things died down. With my ears still ringing, I staggered over to Mindy. I had all but lost feeling in my arms but I didnβt care. I was more concerned about my best friend lying motionless on the ground, surrounded by her on blood. When I reached her, I dropped down on my knees and started shaking her. I tried yelling out her name but I still couldnβt hear my voice over the ringing. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mindyβs mom come running out, watched her mouth scream βMindy!β and watched her drop down beside me and start screaming.
