"Making up a song about Coraline

She's a peach, shes a doll, shes a pal of mine.

She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever layed their eyes on coraline.

When she comes around exploring, me and mom will never ever make it boring.

Because well have our eyes on coraline"

************************************

*inhales* *exhales* currently I am hiding inside a hollowed out tree stump, that clearly had animals living in it before I came, despite it being winter and all the animals should be hibernating.

Well, the reason I'm hiding in this dead 'ol thing is because I've been running from certain people. These certain people are bad and are trying to hurt me.

I'd better tell you who these people are and why they're chasing after me, looking for me. I think I have time for a story, I might be out here for a long time; the tree stumps opening is small, but big enough for me to squeeze in through.

So id barely be noticeable. This story might be a while despite my situation.

****************************************

First let me introduce myself, my name is (clover)I would like to fill you in on some details about me.

it's summer time. I've always hated summer mainly because of the heat; all though I do like most summer nights, surprisingly it can get really cold at night even for these hot exhausting days...

I'm not prepared to go back to school, I only have a month left. Summer sadly can't last forever, which makes me miserable knowing I'm going to have to go back to school, packing mostly anxiety and depression instead of pencil and paper.

I have tried to convince my parents to let me be home schooled but they said no, they want me to go to school to make friends and not to be a recluse. I haven't told them reason why i dident want to go, which is why they probably won't let me be home schooled, although I suspect something else might be the reason.

My parents and other family members are always hiding things from me, which really gets on my nerves alots. I'm old enough, well I assume I am. They shouldn't keep secrets from me, they tell my brothers everything especially my one brother who's one year older than me.

I am the youngest of 8 brothers along with 2 parents which make a total of 11 living under one roof, I say roof instead of house because I live in a mansion, which feels less like a home; with the faint smells of cleaning products and the cold air from the air conditioner made it feel more like a museum, minus the decore... I don't think I really know what a home feels like, only when I'm with my friend oliver. He...he doesn't know that I live in a mansion and it always makes him suspicious as to why I don't invite him over.

I prefer his house more it's smaller and comfortable. Sometimes, I wish I could live with him. Repeatedly asking my parents over and over again to live with him, they say no everytime...

Every weekend I go to Oliver's house even without asking my parents. So, they automatically know I go over there every friday. Despite it being summer they do demand I stay home on the week days. (Monday-thursday)

It's boring at home all I do is sit in my room and play on my phone. While sitting at Home doing nothing I talk to oliver. I'm pretty sure hes annoyed with me, I talk to him 24/7 and I can tell hes quite annoyed with me. Hes my only friend, kinda pathetic.

I can tell he's slowly drifting from me and hanging out with "other friends" more.

My parents trust oliver which is good...

Anyways enough about me and oliver, back at home I have 8 obnoxious older brothers and two idiot parents. Just hope i don't have to run into any of them anytime to day.

*************************************

You see this summer weird things have been happening to me...like unnatural things. I want to explain what I'm talking about, but can't which makes it hard for me. Oliver thinks I'm crazy more than he already thought I was.

There is one thing that is weird, every night around the same time (assuming) I sleep walk and wake up in the middle of the woods. The part where I wake up is in an open clearing where I can see the moon directly on top of me.

It felt like the moon was doing it, making me sleep walk...it feels like the moon is singing me a sweet lullaby. The moon felt special to me, it had a sweet glow that was comforting.

Sweeping my (dreary)dreadful fears away and replacing them with sweet sweet sounds of music that made me feel like I was asleep on a cloud of happiness.

Exciting me to keep sleeping longer and sounder.

When I'm with Oliver I don't sleep walk, I asked him if I do. But he says he's never seen me get up and walk out.

I have no idea why.

*************************************

Walking out of the house, being friday I walk over to olivers. Leaving early in the morning before everyone wakes up that is.

I've packed my bookbag that I used for school last year.

For being very heated out to day, I keep my hoodie on and keep walking. Feeling my face get all red with sweat dripping down, I refuse to take off my hoodie.

Sorta like a third home...

If only Oliver new about my first home, it would make the place light up, well to me that is.
