The sun was set up high in the sky. Its rays peeking through small openings of the dense forest.

It was quiet and peaceful.

I dashed through the forest floor avoiding trees and boulders and feeling the wind against my cheek.

I felt so free...

so alive.

I heard someone catching up to me.

I smiled widely knowing who it was and urged my feet to run faster.

When I could only hear the sound in a distant, I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"SLOWPOKE!"

I stopped when I felt that the surrounding trees have decreased and the sun's rays caressed my skin.

I was in a clearing.

I heard footsteps behind me and I put on a triumphant smile when I faced him.

"Took you long enough, loser." I told him emphasizing the word "loser".

He let out a small chuckle which was music to my ears.

I felt him come near me, his body heat radiating its way towards me. I felt his hand near my forehead and he flicked it. I automatically swatted away his hand and lightly rubbed my forehead.

He laughed loudly, his laugh was deep and so carefree it was infectious which made me smile.

"I'm not a loser. I let you win on purpose." He linked me.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah right. You just can't accept that you lost. Again." I retorted.

He chuckled again.

"You know your not normal, right?" He told me.

I raised a brow at him telling him to continue.

"You avoided obstacles pretty easily. Jumping pass protruding rocks and tree roots. Avoided hitting trees and boulders. That's impressive." He continued.

I let out an amused smile.

"How is that not normal?" I asked.

"Oh that's normal alright, but not for you it's not. Your...

blind."

I let out a soft chuckle.

He was right. A blind person can't possibly be that good at navigating through obstacles. But I'm different. I may not have my eye sight but I did learn using my other senses. I developed better hearing and a better sense of smell. I learned how to feel my surroundings and that made me feel like I could see. I don't need sense of sight. I'm happy just as I am.

Before I could talk back to him he linked me.

"Race you back." He said and started sprinting back.

"Oh, its on." I murmured to myself.

I started to run as well and when I caught up to him I shouted.
