We met friends as part of the launch of the "Ebba Story" novel contest, where they will be part of the jury and will choose the winner among the college kids who ended a story started by Ebba. The novel contest is a collaboration between the foundation of "Ebbas Angels", founder of Ebbas's mother, Jeanette Åkerlund, and SvD Junior, the only Swedish news magazine aimed at children and young people.
This is the first time Friends talk about Ebba in the media. Even though it's heavy, they decided that it was important to say it.
"It's good for people to know what a wonderful person it was, maybe it's a diary we had the opportunity to meet," says Hella.

At the same time, it's one of the most difficult memories, as it takes a little while before Ebba gets off the bus next to Åhléns. Then Ebba and Märta sat in the school bus, bringing the popcorn that they had received at the school.
