Today I woke up in my bed but not my room at least It didn't used to be. I didn't want to get up because all I wanted to do was go back home with my friends, but instead I am trapped in Columbus Ohio where I don't know anyone. I start school in a week so I have time to unpack and get use to the new environment. I didn't want to move, I mean I wanted to when I was in middle school when I didn't really want anything to do with any one, but now I'm in high school( I'm a senior and I'm 18) and I still don't want anything to do with the people there but I had my friends there. Now I am about 2,267 miles away from my best friend Lynea. She and I have been through so much together and now I had to leave her. I started to unpack and I heard my mom come in the house from a job interview this morning. "Good morning Gretchen,"she shouted from down stairs. "Good morning mom."I finished unpacking what I wanted to that day and then I went down stairs to see my mom. "Hey honey, you want something to eat,"she said from the kitchen."No I'm ok, but can we talk." "Of course what's up."I sit on the couch and she comes to sit next to me. "Mom I want to move back home." "No that's not happening." "But I can live with my aunt she has room since my cousins went to college." I was hoping she would change her mind but she didn't "Yeah but she isn't your mom, I am and you are staying with me."I get off the couch and grab my coat and my backpack and i head for the back door."Where are you going,"she said looking at me confused since I had no idea where I was. "I'm going for a walk," I told her as I slammed the door. I walked in the back yard and was surprised to see a big forest be hide me, so I opened the gate and just walked through the trees. I was listening to twentyøne piløts, they are my favorite band and lovely came on which is one of my favorite songs. Then I got a call from lynea, "hello" "Hey Gretchen what are you doing right now" "Nothing special just walking in a forest" "Oh that's cool" "Yeah I guess" "What's wrong?" Why do I always get this question when I don't want to answer them."You know what's wrong I don't want to be here I want to be with you guys hanging out like we usually do, but instead I am here not knowing where I am or what to do" i say that rather loudly but it is true."I know Gretchen I miss you to but aren't you at least kinda excited to be living where our favorite band grew up" she did have I point. I had always wanted to move to Columbus Ohio, 1:because my favorite band grew up here. 2:because I love forest and big quite place which nature gave me here. 3:I love snow but I also love the heat so I'm stuck."I mean I guess but I'm not as excited as I should be. " "Hey have you met your new neighbors yet." "No I just ran out of the house and now I'm walking." It just dawned on me that I'm still in the forest."So wait you ran away from your house and now your in a forest and you don't even know where you are."Yeah pretty much." "I never really got why you did this stuff your just crazy like that." She wasn't wrong, I am kinda crazy. I do weird stuff like go to the park at midnight or climb to the top of a tree to see the view or go in the middle of nowhere and look for something or like running away from my new house and go into a forest. "I know but crazy is good to me." "Hey how long have you been walking." Wow I don't know where I am yet I still walk. "I don't know about 5mins why. " "Just wondering. " Omg lynea " "what happened. " "I found a tree house."
