Ch.1 Tighnari - The forest was dark... the darkest it'd been in a while. I sat there under the moonlight, my knees slid there way up to my chest as I began to hug them. I let out a deep breath I didn't even know I was holding, or how long I was holding it for. Unknowingly without realizing it my entire day was exhausting. Guess that was the world's way of letting me know to never wait until the last minute to go back to school shopping. School starts back tomorrow and I wasn't physically and still amn't mentally prepared for it yet. It's been a few years since I've gone to an actual school, since seventh grade I've only studied from home. My parents agreed to homeschool me because of all of the nature surrounding us, they said it'd open up more learning opportunities for me. But now that I'm starting my junior year of highschool and I've grown "too accustomed to homeschool life" is what my parents said.. And I haven't been "interacting with enough people". My parents call it reality... I call it bullshit. But I don't have control over whether I go back or not, we've already gotten into a million arguments because of it, and I don't feel like dealing with their crappy remarks of why it'll be good for me anymore. Without realizing a tear slipped out and slowly slithered it's way down my face.
But now it wasn't just one tear, it was multiple. I buried my face in my knees as I hiccuped and my body slowly shook from trying to keep quiet. I hate this shit... I swear I should've ran when I had the chance. The bushes began to rustle loudly, my ears twitched in caution as I sniffed.
My body forced itself up off the ground and I turned around facing the bushes aiming my bow at it steadily, my face still wet from the tears. I never went out alone without my bow, just in case of situations like this. A giggle came from inside the bush and I sighed, dropping my bow and falling onto my knees shaking my head. Collei reallyyyy, you scared the crap out of me! She popped out from behind the bush cackling her ass off, my baddddd, just wanted to check up on you before tomorrow Nari, I know you don't feel too happy go lucky about the whole situation.
Yeah.. I don't feel any better about the news than I did yesterday, Collei. Are you sure you can't come with me in my backpack? Yes tighnari, I'm pretty sure I can't come with you. She sat down on the grass in front of me hugging me, "cheer up Nari, we'll see eachother everyday after you come home, plus I'm sure you'll make plenty of new friends! Then you can introduce them to me, and we can all hangout sometimes! I sniffed again, smiling into her shoulder, "you always know how to make me feel better collei, thanks for that.." Of course Nari, you know i've always got your back forever, now go get some rest, you have a big day tomorrow. "Yeah, ... I'll see you tomorrow collei... goodnight."
