" Pretty"     I think as I stare at the big man.The men walk through my forest, looking around. One of them, the smaller one jumps onto the pretty one and screeches making me cover my ears. My ears are sensitive.When I uncover my ears I see that it was just a rabbit that had scared the tiny man.I stifle a giggle. My stomach growls and I realize I hadn't eaten morning food yet. I lick my lips in interest  but start to hop from branch to branch, following the men from the treetops. They find a clearing close to my lake and begin to pull things from the cloth sacks that they were carrying. I see the pretty one put something blue with a white top onto the ground,the pretty man then begins to put up something that resembles a mini home. I remember when I had a home.

       I watch them for hours as the sun sets. They're mini houses are fully set up along with something glowy and red that looked like it was dancing. I wanted to touch it. The small,funny one pulled something plastic out of the blue and white box,then proceeds to pull a meat stick from the package.The pretty man grabs long silver rods from the cloth sack in his mini home and pushes the meat stick onto it. The smaller one grabs a silver stick and does the same before hovering the meat stick over the dancing ,glowy thing in the middle of  the two.The small one begins to talk and smile, laughing loudly. The pretty man smiles back and seems to only get prettier. I stare  and lean forward ,almost falling off of my spot on the tree. My foot slips and a piece of bark is pushed off,falling onto the pretty mans head.

         "Ow!" I exclaim as a piece of bark hits my head and look up into the trees. A flash of something white has me standing up and pulling Jake with me. I hear a rustule behind me only to find our hot dogs missing In another flash of white ,the still hot metal skewers left behind. "What the fuuuuck?" Jake says looking scared until he sees our missing hot dogs. He gasps and grumbles about how it was probably a stupid animal.I chuckle at his anger but warily look around us again and catch a piece of white,long hair falling from the tops of the trees. I pluck it from the air and look at it examining it closely before its blown from my hand by a breeze. " Huh..  weird" I look around us one more time before shrugging it off and going to  sit with Jake again.

An hour later~~~~~~~~

         Me and Jake say goodnight and crawl into separate tents. I start to undress and climb into my sleeping bag before zipping the opening to my tent close. I lay flat on my back and close my eyes... I open them again and pick up my still fully charged phone. I had spent the whole day talking to Jake ,I hadn't even glanced at my phone.  2:07 AM it reads. 'Damn'  I put the  phone down and flip over, getting comfy and I shut my eyes.After about 15 minutes of that and drinking about two and a half bottles of water from the cooIer I finally fall asleep,snoring softly.
