Wake up at 6:00, Still tired.
Get ready for another miserable day.
The bus as usual, smells like dust and 4 day old sandwiches.
Get to school, sit at a table.
Friends talk mindlessly about this and that. I'm not listening. My mind begins to wander. I stare off into space and see a forest. but not just a forest. A forest where fairies flutter about, a forest where the trees are Vibrant blues and Deep reds. A forest where anything can happen.
Bell rings. I snap out of my trance.
Off to class.
Teachers talk and drone on about history and math. Things like, the side of triangles and graphing meaningless equations.
Lunch.
Cold cheese sandwiches and milk. like everyday, tasteless.
P.E is next. How humiliating. The locker room smells like socks and sweat. All of the populars talk about boys and cloths. I sit quietly and wait for the game to begin. Dodge-ball. I get out with the first ball thrown. I sit on the plastic bleachers for the rest of the game.
finally, the day is over. Another bus ride.
Home. I ditch my backpack and run out back. I jump the 4 foot fence and sprint across the field. Running, running, never wanting to stop. My lungs burn as I reach my destination. A tree. But not just any old tree. A magnificent oak with branches weighed down by time. Leaves stretching up to the warm sun above. Giant, foot thick roots play peek-a-boo in the soil. I Jump up onto the nearest branch and make my way through the twisted branches and to the very top. The wind greets me with a small breeze that pulls my hair from my face. I smile and turn to look at the setting sun. It dyes the sky with purples and reds. I stay there all evening and watch as the sky fades from vibrant colors to a star dotted sky.
I slowly fall asleep in a branch mother nature has placed for me.
Goodnight.
