"Chris, where are you going, man?" My best friend, Jaden Samuels, stopped me from walking out of this boring hellhole.

"Out of here, I'm done." I clenched my fists. "If that bitch, I mean slut, thinks that she could ruin my life so be it, I'm leaving."

"Dude, wait! Your mom would be so pissed." He warned me, as I stood in front of the exit.

"And I'm not?" I basically broke the glass door and walked out, ignoring the yells of teachers and some students.

I flipped them off, got in my car, and drove off.

I'm so sick of this, I'm sick of all of this shit!

I kept driving and driving, my phone, ringing and ringing, I ignored it and headed off to wherever God knows where.

I ended up in the forest.

A lot of people tried to stop me from entering, but I was too angry to stop.

I didn't know where I was going, but I'm sure it's somewhere.

I opened my windows, and drove for a few minutes.

I heard a stream nearby, which where I parked my car, got some of my things, leaving my phone and car keys, I basically don't care anymore.

I just brought my bag with some things like tshirts and my water bottle, and headed off to follow the flowing water.

After three hours of a rocky, tiring, non-stop walk, I reached the source, a water fall.

I decided to relax for once, and walked deeper into the forest.

I kept walking, not caring where I was headed. It was already noon, I had no food by all I cared about was going somewhere far away.

I stopped from time to time, then kept walking.

I climbed up a tree, fell asleep and woke up at sundown.

I was still mad, I got down and kept walking.

It was almost pitch dark, but then I noticed a light source.

A lamp?

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out.

The light in the distance came closer.

That's when I saw a girl in a long dress, carrying a lamp.

"What brings you to the forbidden woods?" She asked.

She looked pretty, I must say, but I was too irritated to react.

"Seeking Solidarity." I shrugged. She giggled and smiled at me. "I'm surprised you lasted this long in the woods..."

"You live here or something?" I asked her, a bit rudely.

"I see you're agitated..." She walked towards me. "You're pained..."

"Very. Finding out the truth is good but cruel yet very..." I groaned. "I just hate it. I headed here to seek peace and to get away from that place." I explained.

She stood a few inches away from me, she was shorter than me, and her eyes were a beautiful shade of green.

She placed a hand on mine, looked me in the eye and sighed.

"You truly want to get away..." She closed her eyes and gripped my hand.

"What're you doing...?" I asked her.

She just let go of my hand and opened her eyes, "Do you?"

I couldn't say anything for a moment and finally replied, "I do."

"Well then." She grabbed me by the arm and began to lead me. "Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"I'm taking you to paradise."
