You're It

She walked down the empty road, wind cutting through her jacket like a knife through butter, causing her to shiver profusely. The soles of her shoes were thin enough for her to feel every crack in the asphalt. Her auburn hair whipped around her thin, dark colored face, making her wish she'd wore a hat. It was autumn, and the leaves were just starting to change color, detaching from the branches that held them.  They swirled around her face, making her laugh as they tickled her nose. 

The more she walked, the heavier her backpack felt on her thin frame, to the point where she had to take it off her shoulders and sit on the curb. She carefully dusted the dirt off the cement before sitting down, stretching her feet out in front of her. Letting out a deep sigh, she stretched her arms above her head. 

She felt something lightweight land in her lap, and looked down to see a paper airplane. 

"Is anyone there?"

No response came.  Looking at it closer, it could be seen that there was writing on the inside. She unfolded it, and her heart started pounding in her chest. Sweat dripped down her back.  She looked at it again, to make sure she'd read it correctly. She had. It said,

"Tag, You're it."
