Friday

Morning

The sound of kids yelling and laughing along together woke me up, my head in a daze from snapping my head too fast. The rope tied around my waist to stop me from falling was soon untied as
I scrambled on the thick branch, and cocked my head to see a group of children at the fence pretty far from the tree, gazing at an adult in awe, who was trying to control the lot. "Oh FUCK!"

I quickly swung my legs over the branch and climbed down the tree, Kip was already awake and staring at me in confusion, a chewed piece of bloody meat at his paws. A small notebook and pencil lay in a mess of grass and flowers beneath me. "Oh shit it's Friday," I reminded myself stressfully, running a hand through my greasy hair, remembering that these kids were on a damn school tour.

If you're wondering how I knew, I had walked past the school last week to get to a market and overheard a teacher reminding a student, "Remember that we're visiting Whitestack Meadow next Friday!"

And of course karma came to bite me in the ass as I completely forgot.
Luckily from the fence where the kids were leaning against, myself and Kip weren't really visible, so I quickly shoved all the little things I had into my bag pack and grabbed Kips lead/leash.

I grabbed the black and white bandana, which was his so - called homemade collar, throwing it around his neck and wrapping the rope around it frantically, before running farther into the meadow.

No, I don't treat kip like a dog, I only use the leash.to get him to go where I want to quickly, I know it doesn't hurt him, because the collar is a hair accessory and the lead is a shitty piece of rope.

"Fuck my life." I gasped breathlessly as Kip and I raced through the meadow.
I felt the force of him tugging on the lead as he is a hell lot faster then I am.

He tried to turn, and that's where the lead came in handy as I tugged him forward, totally out of breath. I'm not unfit, I'm just slow and I hate running, like every other normal person.

We came to a slope, and raced down some smooth rocks, causing me to trip and almost fall on my face. Once we were out of view, I noticed that we were at the lake.

It was crystal blue in the sun, the sunlight beaming on the water, making it shiny. I collapsed onto the ground, Kip sitting down beside me, as I placed a hand over my heart, panting heavily.

Kip was chilling, licking his paws as he seemed to mock me. He stood up and walked away from me, as if he was saying he knew he was better then me.
"Oh piss off." I muttered, dusting down my jeans, flicking away the dust.

I lay down and put my hands behind my head, relaxing into the warm weather. Kip growled at nothing, leaving me rolling my eyes. Dumbass.
I sat up and peered over the small hill, eyeing the teacher and the class.

I felt angry, almost betrayed that they were here, as if it was my meadow. They almost gave me a damn heart attack, and there they are, having the time of their lives. Hope that teacher isn't fucking sadistic.

Yeah, I get like that sometimes, protective. That's probably why Kip lives in a meadow with a human. Ironic.

I reached over and grabbed my black bag pack and opened the zip, taking out the used, old maths book and plopping it onto the grass. On second thoughts -
"Fuck algebra."

But gotta thank Zoe for having this book, because she was sixteen when I left, even though I should have completed the book last year.

Kip seemed to laugh at me as he pawed at the dry grass, watching me through dark eyes. The sound of laughing children pissed me off, their happiness ruining my mood.
"I hate kids" I grumbled to myself, glaring at the brightly coloured children, wanting them to get out.
