narrator's pov.

elena quinn carmen held a sunflower in her right hand as she quickly walked down the dirt path of oakland's local sunflower field. with all the positivity in her kind soul, elena's intentions were to make someone's day.

since she often visited the sunflower field, she knew everyone there. elena walked through the sunflowers, but spotted someone she had never seen before.

the dark-haired girl cleared her throat, and remarked, "hi, i'm elena."

"a sunflower," elena remarked.

the boy purposely dropped the flower, and walked even further.
