Glasses

Chapter 12

Charlie sat at his computer typing away his essay. It would be on the importance of predators and prey in the forest. Mostly on over population of certain animals.

His mind drift off every once in awhile to think of the man he met before. His mind thinking about the man he met earlier. If that guy accidentally goes in the forest Scouters would do god knows what.

Thomas always told him that his stepfather would never tell him where they took humans. Just that they can't say anything about giants again.

Death instantly went in his head but he tried not to think about it.

Pressing save he shoved himself away from the desk and pulled off his glasses to rub his eyes.

He moved on his bed and started to pull out one of his maps.

"Ok we passed the lake and went past the three trees that are in a circle." Charlie pulled out a pen as he started to make a small sketch of the school.

"Four scouts in the main field but an opening by the hill with big drop. 'Side note students hanging ground' " He put the pen in his mouth as he got a marker and made heavy arrows at certain spots.

He rolled it up he heard his door open as a pink haired girl came in running over to kiss his cheek. "Charlie!"

"Hey Jessie" He kissed her cheek and put the map in his back pack.

"So what pictures do you have today?" She jumped on his bed and looked over at his camera.

"Oh tons I got a robin today" He gave her the camera as she happily turned it on.

She held a happy face until she saw the first photo. "Charlie who is this?" She turned it showing the picture of Thomas's crush.

"Oh that! It's not what it looks like. My friend has a huge crush on her and I thought I tease him about it later"

"Friend? Who? I haven't seen her in school"

"They don't go to my school" He scrolled through and pulled up a photo he took of Thomas when he first got his camera.He had to sit in a tree to get the right angle but he loved how it turned out.

"This is him, Thomas he just lives a few streets down.

"Oh! This is Thomas? Oh he's cute" She smiled. The photo was of him leaning against a bare tree. From the angle it looked as if it was taken a foot away but was actually done with Charlie in a high branch.

Charlie gave her a look before she said she was kidding.

"When can I meet him you talk about hanging out with him. I want to do a double date!" She hugged Charlie's arm.

"I have to ask sometime. No promises! Thomas is always busy"
