Dear mate of mine

Chapter one - the walk that changed my life

Autumns POV

Megan and Sarah were looking through racks of dresses at Macy's and I was just sitting in the couch in the changing room.

I hate shopping.

You see they were my best friends and they are both party animals whereas I am the bookworm who would rather stay home and read. I'm an introvert.

We recently graduated from high school so I was just counting down the days till I Gould go off to university and get my life in a routine somewhat.
I get really lazy during summer.

"What do you think Ams?" Megan asked while modelling a longsleeved mini navy body-con that had embellishments all over which emphasised all her curves .

It really complemented her long light blonde hair and blue eyes

"I love it!" I told her enthusiastically

"My turn, my turn" my over excited best friend Sarah shouted excitedly. Her dark brown ponytail was swinging about while she jumped about

Wow the dress was amazing it was a blush pink with a high low shape the re was an underskirt that went a few inches above her knees and the rest was a sheer material that had ruffled and it looked amazing with her natural tan that she acquired as she was always training out on the field because she was the head cheerleader.

In fact we were all cheerleaders but I done it more for the scholarship opportunities.

So It didn't matter what style of dress they wore they both looked amazing in anything.

I'm more of the practical clothing kind of girl I preferred to be comfortable dressed comfortably in playsuits, skinny jeans and T-shirts or yoga pants.

"now we need to find the shoes" Megan said while walking up to the checkout after getting changed.

I sighed heavily because we have been shopping for the dress for four hours today. I mean it's only a party not a damn wedding.

I was invited to go to the party but politely declined because my mum is due back from her business trip that day. The party is not for a while actually it's in august I think?

"When's the party" I asked Megan

"August 4th" she replied back after checking the calendar on her iPhone.

See what I mean it march just now yet we are shopping now.

I don't understand them.

When we were in the shoe shore they both managed to find the pair  that they both managed to find the pair that they wanted, this meant that I could go home and get some much needed rest.

The next day
~~~~~~~~~

Shifting my position on the bed yet again I looked at my iphone again and sighed I hated that the weekends only lasted two days I mean seriously why couldn't they be just one day longer I mean I stay up late on Friday night to start homework finish in the early hours of Saturday go to sleep around 3 in the morning then have to get up at 10...And now it's half past.

You I was supposed to be starting my new fitness regime today you now the. Whole New Years resolution thing yeah .. Why do those things exist I mean seriously who actually says they are going to give up chocolate then actually stop , or say they are going to go the gym at least 4 times a week and actually does it.

We'll I decided to actually attempt to stick to my New Years resolution although it Is 13th march... Yeah I really need to get up and go for that walk it's like 10:45 now if I don't get up now I will fall asleep.

I forced my self out of my warm and inviting bed and headed straight for the bathroom down the hall, I brushed my teeth and washed my face then moisturised

I go back to my room and start putting on my makeup, foundation, powder, blush and contour, eyebrows and I do my eyes with neutral eyeshadow, winged liner and mascara. I then got out my GHD's and started to straighten my just below shoulder length brown hair, when I was happy with the style I then picked out my walking outfit which consisted of charcoal grey and white yoga shorts and a white t-shirt. Lastly I put on my white vans, quickly ate my breakfast, brushed my teeth thoroughly then rinsed with mouthwash quickly reapplied my antiperspirant as it looks really sunny outside and spritzed some raspberry body spray on my arms and top " I need to buy some more" I commented out loud to myself then I grabbed my iphone.

Just before I left I checked myself in the mirror, I felt pretty today my hair was sitting perfectly like it occasionally does which made me feel like this will be a good day! My body looked toned especially legs which I'm thankful for I mean I'm that small 5,2 that having a slimmer physique made me look longer that I actually was thank god for Pilates! I mean I workout but not in public I just watch youtube videos in my room like a loner.... Yet I will be walking alone Megan has a family day today and Sarah said she had to babysit for her cousin who lives hours away.so I didn't bother asking them to join me they would just tell me no that they were going to a party or something I'm quite the nerdy bookworm yet I'm not really that smart I average at c's or b's if I study hard but I'm really into art and photography.

~~~~2 hours later~~~~~

After a while of walking around the lake I stated to talk to myself and and started to ask suri questions because I felt like I was having a conversation.

I was texting Sarah and Megan and they were both saying how bored they were Megan's uncle was drunk and kept talking about how life was when he was a young boy and Sarah had baby puke in her hair

I kind of felt bad but I was freezing and just wanted to get Starbucks then go home, shower, cook dinner and then go to sleep.

Okay it's getting dark now and cold damn you weather! I knew I should have brought a hoodie or my wallet so I could get a Starbucks, I really want a cappachino! Is that too much for a girl to ask for.

"I'm cold" I whimpered uselessly to my self

I decided to run the rest jog the way as it was getting darker by the minute

I put the torch on my iphone to I could see better I had always hated the dark

~~~~45 minutes later ~~~~

Okay. It was really dark now I was getting scared suddenly I heard a twig snap my head whipped to the side where I heard the noise I was frozen in fear

It was just a bunny . We'll now I feel stupid I whispered out loud. I sighed outwardly and decided to keep jogging

But then I heard one word said from right behind me.... "Mine"
