Witch in the Woods

2

        Later that day when I got home my mom asked me if anything new happened. I told her that the same old, same old happened. I told her that I was gonna go back tomorrow and the same old was probably gonna happen again. I was walking off to my small room on the 2nd floor when she yelled up the stairs and told me to come back down. When I got back down to the kitchen, where she was slicing onions and making it smell like crap, she told me she had bad news. She told me that she didn't think it was a good idea for me to go to the swing set on my birthday. I tried to ask her why but she continued on with "I know that you want to but we are going to have a party and invite all of the relatives that we only see once a year blah blah blah" and I asked her nicely with sugar on top to have it the next day so I could have fun on my birthday. She told me that that was mean and I should go to my room and be productive. I agreed and decided to go to bed. I woke up the next morning and even though it was summer vacation, the alarm read 7:38. Ugghhhhhhh. I got up anyway and got dressed. I put on a white shirt and a pair of jeans. I practically ran down the stairs, grabbed a pancake that my mom made and yelled to her and told her that I was going to the swing set. She told me okay and that we were having meatball subs so I should be home for dinner beings how that was my favorite food. I told her I would be home and left for the swings. When I got there the swings seemed comforting, still and quiet. I sat down on the farthest swing and looked at the woods.
