It was a chilly day, not so hot nor so cold, the tree lined streets were not in a very good condition, although the trees were perfect fine, the roads were not in good condition as they had small potholes, but the trees danced as the wind gently blew.
The street was quite with little to no cars as it was early in the morning and most were asleep, but Vera was an exception, she couldn't fall asleep after waking up early "How could I wake up so early on Saturday... what a waste of holiday"
"What's the time anyways... I think I've been walking for a while now" She put her hands inside her skirt's pocket and pulled her phone out that had a small green and white keychain with mostly beads and a tiny star too attached to it, not to forget another that said 'безутешный' and who knows what it means, Vera most probably knows the meaning.
It was not before something caught her eye. Four or five police officers stood in a distance, at first she thought it was a thief they caught, but that wasn't the case, and unfortunately... she saw a woman holding a child bleeding a lot in her arms, the woman brawled her eyes out, tears not stopping... the police tried to calm her down but failed as she couldn't control her emotions. A truck was also visible, a man, who was probably the driving was in his knees, hand cuffed and he didn't fight back.
"... Yea I should head back... Well um, Rest In peace..." She mumbled before turning away and walking back to the direction she came from, to her appartment she calls home.
She slurped on her cup noodles with two packets already finished and the empty cups laying on the floor. Leaning her back on the bed as she scrolled through her phone since non of her friends are probably awake since it is a holiday, a break from jail.
She thought about the incident she saw earlier, "If was in place of that kid, will mummy cry like that too?" She turned to her stuffed teddy bear, golden coloured, that was not small nor too big.
She stared at the teddy bear for a few more seconds not saying anything but after a while she grabbed it and kept it besides her, before she started laughing and choking at the same time.
"Yea right I forgot she's dead, lol— aghaaahhAhh..! aHhG—"

"... Oh, that's unfortunate." Xemi mumbled under her breath as she sat on the swing just rocking. "Do you think it was the truck drivers fault? or the mom's fault for taking her eyes of her child" She spoke again, turning her eyes to Vera who was standing on the swing and trying to do a 360°
"...Weeeeeell, I don't knoww, cuz you know how there are many pothole in our areaaaa" Vera slowed down as she spoke.
"Both might be at fault, because the driver was probably not driver carefully, in a road with potholes they are supposed to drive slow and carefully, but than again, why would a mom take her eyes off her child, or maybe let the child out of sight, Right? Vera."
"Yea, and for the roads, I blame the politicians, their fault or not, I blame them"
"You really don't like politicians do you? Anyways wanna play two player magic wizard obby in roblox?" Xemi smiled, showing her phone to Vera, who also took out her phone.
"Say no less pookie, I'll join you"
The tree behind the two slightly rustled, but they didn't hear. Three faces poked out.
"... Why're we here, I forgot" Kiki whispered under his breath to Ares and Ivan though still keeping a smile.
"Don't know, I just followed Xemi cuz she was walking alone" Ares too whispered as quietly as he could "What bout you, Ivan, why're you here?"
"I just ended up here" Whispered Ivan to Ares and Kiki.
"I wanna talk to Xeeemi..."Kiki whined but the others ignored it because it was a everyday sentence they hear.
"What's wrong with this girl! MoovEe girl!" Vera quietly screamed at her screen, not at Xemi, but at a random girl that was blocking her way.
"Oh my Sand... Can't she she moved at ALL?! Vera, report her." Xemi in an irritated tone complained, about the same player.
"Already on it... Dating... offensive words... cheating..." She pressed on every option there was, giving a paragraph of reason why she was reported for each reason, so did Xemi although hers didn't make much sense as she used random words, Vera's was no less than Xemi's. They are bestfriends for a reason.
The sun was already setting, days are becoming shorter with nights becoming longer...
"Vera, let's play another game later, my phone is also about to die"
"Hm? Oh ok ... I'll be waiting until then."
"... Now, Kiki, pass by the park from the left, I'll be on the right, Ivan can choose any" Ares whispered to them before they all quiety claimed down and jumped down the tree.
Xemi and Vera walked out of the park, and when they did, they met Ares, Ivan and Kiki. Ares and Ivan in the right with Kiki on the Left
"Oh! Xemi" Kiki dashed to Xemi like he always did.
"Are you two going home?" Ivan asked tilting her head slightly, and Vera answered by nodding because Xemi was too busy trying move away from Kiki.
"Yea, we were here for a while, where were you two going anyways?"
Ivan didn't say anything because he didn't have anything in mind.
"No where, just saw Ivan on the way when going back home so we just decided to and meet Kiki but he was already here" Explained Ares with his arms crossed.
"Alright, if that's the case, and uh I'll be going back, home, yea" Vera nodded, not saying anything else. Taking a glance at Xemi and Kiki. "Xemi, Kiki, we're going and since there's no one to drop Xemi off to her houseee, you go and drop her" Smiled Vera grabbing Ares and Ivan's wrist pulling them away from the two.
"Later pookie, and goodnight Kikii! Get walking, faster I mean, handsome boys" Vera walked faster, and faster with Ares trying to yank Vera away while Ivan didn't do anything because he got used to it.
"Good night guys"
"as-salaama! You too Vera!" Xemi yelled, like yelled so that the tree could hear her and they did, so they waved at her, but for Vera, she raised Ares and Ivan's hand to wave because if she left their wrist they would most probably run awa and also because she doesn't like being left alone.
