Carter:
After my tutoring session with Mia I feel wiped out. How am I supposed to concentrate when she is wearing a lace shirt. Girls just don't think when they wear shit like that! I could see the smooth skin of her back perfectly and every time she moved her muscles moved eber so slightly. She was built great. Great legs. Great stomach (don't ask me how I know that.) Great back. Everything about her was just plain great.
I felt exhausted. I just needed a good run. I put on my worn grey running shoes. (They are surprisingly clean. My mom must have washed them.) I could feel my body settling into old habits. Over the summer I went for a 10km run every day. I couldn't get enough of it O was hooked. Then school started and Mia happened and I must have just forgotten.
When I go out to the usual runners trail than ran though a particularly beautiful part of the woods I could feel everything settling into place. My shoulders turned back and I could feel my breathing slow down. Four seconds in four seconds out. Just the way Mr Bradwick had thought us in second grade track. I didn't think of anything else but my feet pounding on the solid earth beneath me. I could have been flying. My body was in exticy. I havent ran like this since Emma my last dog died.
Suddenly I'm not running anymore.
My entire body is frozen into place. I cant move. I've wandered of the main path and I'm in a small clearing where no one could see me. My whole body rigid. Why couldn't I move. Then my arms started to ache. My body was on fire and I could feel every single nerve in my body.
Then everything started changing. My arms started spouting leaves. FUCKING LEAVES. Then my skin turned to bark. I could feel every atom in my body change. My legs grew and grew until I was thee same height as the trees net to me. Even my thoughts changed. Instead of feeling panicked I felt calm and serine. As if I had seen this coming my whole life and I was waiting for it to happen. I have never been this chill. Not even that time I smoked weed at Carla's party. I was a tree. A fucking tree with leaves and bark and I even had to chase away a few birds. How could this happen. This wasn't natural. (Okay it was pretty natural but not possible.)

ey I know its a bit short bit I wanted to get this out of my head before I lost my nerve and before I went to bed. Hope this keeps you interested or just doesn't scare you of. It's not as bad and stupid as it sounds I promise.
Love
