Mischief

three

It's Thursday night. For the past four days, Morgan and I have taken our time settling in again, taking walks in the gardens and laughing at the smallest things just to pass the time somehow.

I decide I want to take a quick walk. Placing a bookmark in the book I'm reading, I set it on my night stand. I slip out of bed and go to change into warmer clothes.

"I'm going to get some fresh air. Wanna come?" I ask Morgan, who's reading on her bed. "Oh no, I'm fine. It's too cold anyways." She laughs. "Ok well I'll be back in around twenty." I grin while grabbing the key to our small dorm so I can get back in later on.

The crisp air of the night hits my nose and cheeks. It's cold but not so much to where you have to stay inside.

I've always loved night walks, especially here. When the tall trees shadow over you, the grass has a fresh scent and the gardens lit up by all the lights installed.

Along the many trees on campus, there lays the weeping willow. It's a popular spot for when people want to chat or study. That's why people sit in it's branches and just relax. It's leaves aren't long anymore due to it being Autumn and a lot of them are starting to fall.

I decide instead of touring the garden forever, I should relax against the willow instead. Seeing as no one is around and there aren't a few friends having a conversation in it like most of the time, I take my chance.

Leaning against the wide trunk, I relax my shoulders. Staring out into the open, I look at the huge campus. Domesdale is made up of about 400 acres.

To get into Domesdale, you have to walk down a narrow dirt road. When done, you are lead to a wide gate that surrounds the campus.

When the gates open, you walk down another dirt road, this time bordered by neatly landscaped bushes and the grass is always cut and fertilized.

Then you finally enter inside the school. Surrounding the school is the outdoor campus. It circles around the perimeter and is centered in the middle. There's also two sections of different dormitory's. The part that connects these two is the building that holds classrooms, the dining hall and the school entrance.

And finally in the back of the school, there's a very very large grass area. This grass area is used for many purposes. Such as studying, talking with friends on picnic blankets and just having fun in general.

Then we have the gardens. With bushes, trees, flowers and birds, it's quite beautiful. The garden holds a few benches for where you can sit. This area, like everywhere else, is used for studying. If you don't like your dorms, I suggest the gardens. It's very peaceful.

And then we have the famous willow, sycamore trees, (another popular spot) and a thin forest that leads you to the countryside and so on.

It's already been around twenty five minutes. I know I told Morgan I'd be back within twenty but at the same time she doesn't really care. Besides, she usually stays up very late so I'm sure she's doing other things.

I then decide to climb onto one the branches just to relax for a short moment. Just as I place my hands on the bark to climb up the tree, a hand grabs my shoulder.
