My bones ached with exhaustion from struggling to keep control over the out bursts that my soul gave me with my ultimate battle of trying to return back to human form. I limply rolled over on to my back. Something soft and wet rested under my shoulder letting my body sink into its wet lump. I reached behind my back letting my fingers find the moist mush. I pulled it out from under me shaking it to relieve the soggy wrinkles my brow furrowed. I took off a few pieces of lone grass off the wet cloth I shook it some more to see what it was. I laid the cloth gently across my leg and smoothed it out with my hand. It turned out to be my red plaid flannel shirt I was wearing before I shifted yesterday. Good. Found the first part, all have do now is at least find some pants and my shoes. They have to be at least some what close if I was able to find the shirt. I wiped of the dirt and slush off my barren back and legs. My eyes shifted throughly about the landscape taking in the area. It seemed that ether I didn't get very far or I went in a very large circle because I was only in the woods closest to my high school. The only decent safe haven I have to go if anything severe happened at school would be this woods, for a quick escape. I slipped my hands up through my damp shirt even though I could of just unbuttoned it but I thought screw it too much work besides half the buttons were missing already from the shifting incident it was better than a red, wet pile of shreds. I squeezed my head through the opening smoothing it across covering my chest. A flash of navy caught my eye. My eyes started to casually linger back to the navy. I gasped, thank the heavens. I raised my hands up to the sky and practically skipped to my jeans that laid disheveled in a thistle bush. I picked up my jeans and almost scowled at them both pant legs were no much more than fringe but that was good enough for me. I held my jeans close to by chest almost cried tears of joy over them I was so happy to see them. I squeezed my legs through the jeans the fringe and holes only went up to my mid calve. When my foot went all the way through the pant leg, something white was tangled in my foot I quickly snatched it from the tips of my toes and held it up to eye level to see what exactly it was. It was my bra! I giggled inside. I unbuttoned my shirt slipping it off to put on my bra. Oh how amazing this felt. I put my flannel back on and started to rebutton my shirt but the only button that kept my shirt together snapped off.

" Crap!" I groped on the snowy ground searching for the little cream button but it was no use in fiddling around in the snow for a button I will most likely not find again. What would I even do with that button if I did find it, use my imaginary needle and thread that I always keep on hand for these certain situations. I sighed a heavy sigh and once again brushed myself off and keep walking on leaving my shirt widely open showing my bra. I rustled my fingers through my dark brown wavy hair trying to smooth out the snarls entangled within it. The sun was at it's peak now which means school is probably over. I turned around looking at my trail I left behind me. I started to walk backwards thinking about stage three of this plan. Now let stage three begin, get to my truck that was leisurely sitting in the back parking lot of our school which means all I have to do is cross two empty soccer fields and I'm home free and I can begin stage four get to Tiff's house.

" snap! " slumping foot steps started to come toward me one after the other.
"Slump,slump, slump" I heard a rustling of a shirt and quick breathing. I had to swallow my panic back down my throat to keep me from having a emotional break down. I turned around again looking violently for a plan two. Than something hard and warm hit my back it felt tall too. I quickly turned around and my eyes met a bare light golden muscular chest I could see his chest heaving up and down from the running. My eyes followed up the tall structure meeting his hazel eyes that automatically turned to light Aqua. Warmth filled my cheeks which made him do as well. He ran his fingers through his dark brown almost black hair once and stared back down at me. We could be brother and sister we looked so similar. I blushed once more. I put my fingers in my hair and looked at the ground away from his handsome face. All that came out of mouth was.
" umm..." With a nervous chuckle and smirk. He attempted to finish my sentence but I could tell he was flailing for the right words.
"So... Yeah.... Agh...I'm.... you are?" He extended his hand out to me and slightly smiled. His dark grey t-shirt was bundled up in the other hand. What the heck is he doing? If he's trying to make the situation any less awkward it's not working. As I was going to return his hand with a hand shake I remembered my shirt was wide open showing my bra. So I immediately used my one hand to wrap my shirt around my torso covering my chest. Instead than I used my other hand to return his hand shake and I smiled. Ignoring his question.

"Um... Well than... How about I go this way and you go that way." For himself he pointed towards deeper into the woods and for me he pointed towards the school parking lot. I just awkwardly smiled and nodded once while cautiously inching towards the Parking lot as if I was expecting him to attack me at any moment. He nodded back. As soon as we turned our separate directions I started to race for my little blue 1968 Chevy step side waiting for me in the parking lot to jump in and rush away for Tiff's house to get a fresh outfit and shower.

" Oh Margret what did you get yourself into? " I mumbled to myself.

" What did fate get you into?" I asked again .

" What does destiny have in store for you?"
