I'm back in the woods. Oh the woods, the one place of all places I would love to be. I'm sitting by a pond on a bench when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Mark. He is smiling at me and sits next to me. We sit there in silence looking back and forth at each other. But then I wake up.
Mark has his hand on my shoulder. I had my face buried in my jacket and once again, everyone is staring at me. I look down at my fingers.
"You should rest more at night." Says Mark with a laugh. I think, yeah I should. Two a.m. Is not a good time to go to bed. The bell rings and I go out in the hall. Mark is right next to me.
"Hey... Becca can I ask you something?" Mark says shyly. I blush and say
"Sure... What's up?" I stand against the wall nervous.
"I'm going to the movies this weekend and was wondering if you wanted to come with me.... If you can." He says very nervously.
"Sure! That would be great." I say smiling. "Are we walking?" As I say on my way to my locker.
"Yeah we leave after school and we will decide what we watch when we get there." He says while leaning against the lockers. I put my stuff in mine and grab my books for 6th and 7th hour.
"Ok." I start walking away, but I pause. "See you in 7th hour." I smile and wave.
"Ok see you there." Mark says smiling and disappears down a different hallway. I walk to my English class where if you sleep you will be suspended. So I'm always awake. And my teacher is always yelling
"Improper grammar! Why no capital?!" And blah blah blah. It's annoying but I live, barely.
I take a seat. I open my book to our page on SA's. We are supposed to write about why schools should or shouldn't start early. Of course, I choose we should start later in the day.
"How's the SA going?" Someone says. I turn to my right. It's Nate. Coolest kid in school, smart, every girl likes him, cute but I don't tell anyone I think this, and I'm surprised about this, he likes me. I like him but Mark is a way better chance then Nate.
"Good, but you know I would rather not do this." I say pulling out my paper.
"We would all love to not do this." He says smiling.
"I know." I say smiling back. We giggle.
"Quiet you two!" Yells Mrs.Smith.
We start working. But as I'm done writing I figure, I'll type it at home. I pack up my stuff and sit looking out the window. I think of the woods. Oh yeah, I should tell you why I like them. Long story short, I go camping every year and met a guy there once. Who turns out it was Mark. But when we were there we went on a boat together and I looked into his eyes as he looked into the water and I thought "Wow he's cute." Then I really liked him. But also the woods is just a beautiful place and calm.
RING! Everyone runs out and I trip and my bag falls open. I pick up my stuff slowly and Nate comes over to help.
"Here." He hands me a book. "You ok?" He says helping me stand up.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just tripped." I say putting my back pack on.
"Be more careful." He says.
"Dude come on!" Says his best friend Gavin as he grabs his arm
"We are gonna be late!"
"Bye Becca... Be more careful Ms.Clutsy!" He says as he disappears down the hall. I laugh. I walk to 7th hour and see Mark waiting at the door for me.
"Hey." He says smiling.
"Hey." I say. We take a seat at the same counter. It's science class so no desks. My favorite class.
"Ok students let's begin our experiment from where we left off yesterday." Says Mr.Hall.
"Did you bring the books?" Ask Mark in a soft tone.
"Yes." I whisper. "I just got them from the library yesterday." I say as I pull them out.
"Great." He says as he takes one. Our hands touch and we pull back our hands.
"Uhh... " I say.
"I'm.. let's just start." He says, he's totally blushing. I pause and just smile.
"Ok."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wave goodbye to Mark and we split paths at the end of 5th street. We only live a block away from each other. I'm walking when I hear a loud beeping. I turn to see a car driving fast behind someone. They pull into the opposite side of the road to pass the car but a truck is coming so they swerve towards me. I jump off the side walk into a ditch. BAM! They ran into a pole. And all I hear is
"Oh my gosh!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in the arms of a fireman in the trunk of a truck.
"Are you ok?" He says as he sees me open my eyes.
"What happened?" I say.
"The car crashed and you hit your head on a rock and passed out." He says trying to keep me calm. I look for my parents. They are talking to a cop and he is arresting a teenager that was driving the car. They walk over to me.
"Sweetie! Are you ok? Are you hurt!" My parents say to me. I nod no. They take me home and thank the fireman who helped me. I sit at the dinner table and eat slowly. My head hurts but barely.
"You wanna go to school tomorrow?" Asks my mom.
"I'll go even though no one will shut up about what happened to me." I say laughing.
"Ok." Say my parents laughing too.
I lay in my bed after dinner and look at my ceiling. I painted the woods on my ceiling with glow paint so at night I can see it. I smile. "I'm coming soon" I whisper. And then I dream.
