i woke up with a sense of energy controlling my body. and i knew exactly why. today was saturday. but that wasn't it. i was excited because me and marilyn had plans. we had decided that, since we were both extremely busy over the week and didn't get to see each other as much as we would have hoped, we were going to have a whole day together. and what better to connect with the ones you love then a walk. yes. we had decided to go for a really long walk through the vast woods that shielded the school building like a ancient castle with a wall around it. the woods were kind of scary, but with marilyn there, i couldn't be scared. 𝘪 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳. so, i pulled my self out of my warm sheets and began to get dressed.

i wanted to look good for marilyn, but also dressed appropriately for the occasion. when i was done getting dressed, i walked over to my tall mirror and fell in love with my outfit. i was wearing black boots, beige-green cargos, a white crop-top and a black coat over top. lastly, i had a black backpack with some essentials in. and being truly honest, i felt so hot. 𝘪 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭. taking another deep breath, i left my dorm and made my way to marilyn's room. i knew she was expecting me. we had actually both been looking forward to this for quite a while. we even gave each other some little tasks for what to bring. marilyn would bring the food and drinks and i would bring the blanket and first aid kit. i know it sounds extra, but you can never be too safe. i soon arrived at her door and knocked on it twice. the door creaked open and there she was.

i examined her entire body, and she seemed to do the same to me. she was wearing some tight, dark blue jeans with a grey turtle neck. she had a blue backpack lying carelessly over one shoulder, holding the strap with her hand. her hair and makeup was the same as everyday. 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘴. lastly, she was wearing her red, reflective boots which seemed to be her main feature. when we first met, it was the first thing i noticed about her. after that, i noticed her adoration to the colour red had a key role in her day-to-day life. she always wore those boots. and i liked that because they suited her and gave her this sense of character that most people lacked. i finally was pulled from my staring when her sweet voice rung out in the air.

"(y/n), you- you look amazing." she looked me up and down one more time, unconsciously biting her bottom lip. i blushed and chuckled as my hands connected behind my back. "thank you." she blinked and looked back to my eyes, smiling contagiously. then she walked out the room and locked her door while talking cheerfully. "i am so excited for today! i have missed you all week and i can finally spend the whole day with you." she finished locking the door and turned to me, a spark flicking in her eyes that i couldn't explain. then her hands loosely landed around my neck and she leaned forward and kissed me. my hands landed on her hips as we rocked back and forth, the heat getting more intense. she pulled away as we caught our breaths and laughed at each other. then we connected hands and were on our way.

the forest was beautiful. as we first started to enter, we could hear the voices of people back at the school. but now that we were far inside, the voices faded into light wind that whistled through the trees. i admired the golden leaves and cloudy skies, the most common symptom of the autumn season. and even though it was cold, marilyn seemed to generate this heat that i couldn't describe. i didn't even know if it was real. all i could say was that when i was near her, i felt safe and heated. and the closer i got, the hotter i felt. i got close to her again, as i seemed to part from her as i looked at the surrounding area. she turned to me and grinned as she kissed my pink cheek. i looked at her, holding back the blushing for some reason. she giggled at this as we continued to walk through the woods.

i noticed how the clouds seemed to get darker and the air felt thicker, like the kind of air that accompanies a storm. we soon began to feel small droplets of water falling from the sky. 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. somehow the possibility of rain never crossed my mind, or marilyn's. so when the heavens opened and the stabbing rain pelted down on us, we were more than thrilled. "marilyn, should we head back or keep going forward?" i shouted while squinting my eyes, trying to prevent the water from touching the surface of my corneas. "i don't know, how far is Jericho from here?" she yelled in response, so i could hear her over the loud rain. "i don't know!" i replied and then we just looked at each other, the rain practically blinding us as we thought about our next step.

"i know!" i shouted and she looked from the ground to me. "we should run back to where we came from. it'll be the fasted way and we are guaranteed to get back to shelter." through the thick water, i could see her nod her head. then i felt her take my hand. "okay, on three. one, two three!" she yelled and when she stopped talking, we began to run back. i couldn't lie, this was fun. my clothes were ruined no matter what, so instead of caring i just ran with marilyn by my side. i could feel my legs getting cold rushes as i jumped in puddles which saturated my cargos. my lungs seemed to get a boost of energy that i hadn't felt since i was little, when i would run home after school. i could hear marilyn screaming and laughing at the adrenaline and situation at hand. however, the fun came to a halt when i seemed to trip over a branch that had fell and felt a burning sensation on my knee.

"oh, shit!" i screamed out while looking at my ripped cargos. then i noticed the blood. a massive gash appeared on my knee and started to release blood at a rapid rate. i looked to where i fell and noticed a sharp rock sticking out of the ground. 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵. 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵. that's when i felt marilyn kneel beside me and cup my drenched face. she looked so worried as she shifted down to examine my knee further. "oh my goodness, are you okay?" i nodded and replied as i removed my backpack from earlier. "yeah, i'm fine. just a small cut!" then she took the bag from me and cut me off before i could protest. "no dear, let me!" she removed a big plaster from the bag and went to unpeel it. however, before she placed in on my knee, she leaned down and kissed my wound. she pulled away and placed the bandage on the injury. then she stood up; gave me a hand to get up; passed me my bag; and we began to run with our joined hands until we made it back to Nevermore and the warmth of a hot, shared bubble bath.
