It's autumn. School had been in session for a month or two. I've become friends with all the girls in my class and Edan. I decided I didn't feel like trying to meet the rest of the guys yet.
Every weekend I went to a different friend's house or had a different friend over. This weekend, my mom told me to take a break. I was really bored and it was only Friday evening. I had completed going everywhere in the forest. I even found a really tall, metal fence. I tried finding its end, but it goes along the whole town. I found a gate where people can come and go if they are moving or going on trips. I'm not allowed to go through the gate. I tried digging under the gate, but it seems to never end. I tried climbing up it, but it has sharp things at the top that, if you touch them, make your whole body hurt. I slipped and almost fell twenty-five feet. I pulled my arm grabbing the fence to stop myself from falling the last couple of feet. I almost hit the ground. I would have broken my legs if I hadn't have grabbed the fence. When I came home, I claimed that I fell of off Kaida and that's why I hurt. I also claimed that I ran into a tree branch while riding Kaida and that's why my clothes were torn on one side.
I felt even worse for lying to my mom.
I had already ridden Kaida tonight. I had finished all my homework. I didn't feel like going outside. I wasn't allowed to hang out with friends.
Mom said one day I will enjoy getting time to relax. Right now, I don't. I think relaxing is boring. I like to have fun.
I played with Katy for an hour before getting bored.
It was a very boring evening.
I ended up going to bed early.
The next day was Saturday. Katy and I played for two hours after breakfast. We spent another hour outside running around. Then Katy fed and watered Kaida and I took Kaida on an hour long ride. After lunch, I reviewed that I knew all the information for my upcoming test in English. I still did.
I sighed as I stared at the ceiling. I was lying on my bed. I didn't feel like drawing. I was tired of drawing in my free time.
I know what I want. The things I can't have.
I want books. Books to read for fun. Books with action and adventure and drama and fake characters and events.
I want adventure. I want to go past the gates. I want to explore the whole world.
I sighed again and looked out the window at my boring world.
I slowly went downstairs and offered to go shopping for mom. When I returned I helped her clean.
