Once upon a time there was this cute little girl named Ava. Ava was just starting kindergarten and she was really nervous to meet new people. When she arrived to kindergarten she saw that there were lots of people there. All the sudden a sweet little girl came up to Ava and said, “Hello my name is Eve what about your’s?”
Ava became really nervous and said, “m-my name is Ava”.
Ever since that happened they became really good friends. They would do everything together like sleepovers, face-timing each other every single day, shopping together, etc. They became so close, to the point where Ava would die for Eve and Eve felt the same way.
All those feelings disappeared when high school appeared When Ava arrived at school she couldn’t see her anywhere. She became really worried about Eve because it is unusual for her to be absent on the first day of high school. Ava texts Eve and says, “Eve are you coming to school?”
No answer.
Ava ignores it and continues her school day.
She was in Math class when all the sudden her Math teacher got a phone call so she answers it and leaves the room. The students are talking while the teacher is outside the classroom on the phone call. Once the Math teacher comes back to the classroom -silence. The Math teacher says, “Is there anyone named Ava in the class?” Ava raises her hand and says, “that’s me why?” The Math teacher says, “your best friend is in the hospital she’s been diagnosed with cancer.”
Ava is so shocked that she turns pale. She rushes out the classroom and starts running to the hospital while sobbing. She doesn’t care if there are cars on the road, only that she arrives on the hospital to visit her best friend. When she was close to the hospital she saw a truck coming right at her. Bright lights were the last thing she saw.
Ava had died. She got hit by a driver while rushing to the hospital to see her best friend. Once Eve found out what happened, and she never recovered. Eve was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. She would always cry herself to sleep, wishing that it was her who died instead. Years later……
Its been 10 years since Ava died. Eve recovered from cancer and she graduated college not too long ago. She’s also pregnant with a beautiful baby girl and she decided she’ll name her Ava.
Once Ava grew up, she says, “mom why did you name me Ava?”
Eve says, “oh sweetie that’s a long story that I unfortunately can’t say.”
The end.
So proud of our classmat hour 🤍
