Chapter Two

I snuck out of the house and walked down the trail. I heard someone following me.
I tried to walk a little faster to get away but instead I introduced herself.
"Hello?"
"Hi"
"I'm Ashley. You?"
"I'm Mason"
After a few hours of walking down the path with him his stories became very interesting.
"I got to get back home."
"Me too"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yup"
I raced home and climbed up the tree into my room. I quickly changed into my clothes and pretended like I was reading on my bed.
Soon, my mom came into my room.
"You ok?"
"Yeah"
"Well, you weren't okay a few hours ago when I checked."
"Ummm"
"Where were you?"
"Fine! I was in the woods."
"What! You could've gotten mauled by a bear!"
"I was walking down a safe pathway."
My mom went downstairs to finish making dinner. I guess she didn't care as long as I was safe.
