It's true. Even the morning sun can't penetrate my thick head.
I sat up and stretched out my arms, followed by a huge yawn. A quick glance at my clock told me it was 12:47. No surprise, I thought as I flopped back down on the bed. The cool sheets washed over me as I sighed. Two weeks into summer, and I was already bored out of my mind.
My mouth was dry and sticky. I ignored it, enjoying the peacefulness of my quite room. I had no desire to leave it. I heard a bird chirp, and I felt a pang to explore. I hopped ( well... I slowly got up) out of bed and got dressed.I threw on some jeans and a loose fitting T-shirt. As opposed to brushing it, I covered my dusty brown hair with a hat and stomped down the stairs into the kitchen. I saw the Rice Crispies out right next to a bowl. Next to the bowl, was a note. It said"
"Dear Sandra,"
"Your father and I will be in downtown all day. Please do the dishes.
Love, mom."
I rolled my eyes and shoved the note into my pocket. I left the box and bowl where is was and I slipped out the back of my house to my backyard.
I wouldn't call it a yard, per say, as much as I would call it the forest. The trees swayed in the cool summer breeze, and I felt the same pang in the back of my head. I causally sauntered down to the nearest tree.
I gave a relaxed sigh as I felt the light wind on my skin. It was cool and light, almost like a hug, inviting me to the forest. I leaned against the tree just outside the small woods.I never actually went back there, but I had been dying to explore it for the longest time. only one thing held me back... I was deathly afraid of snakes. We just moved in the house this winter, and now, the smooth summer air toyed with me.
The sound of gentle forest floor suddenly caught my attention. I squinted my eyes and peered into the shady forest. What was that noise? I crouched down low, still right next to the tree. A dark, fluffy gray tail could just barely be made out. It was small... like a kittens.
" A cat?" I muttered to myself. "Poor thing, must be lost." I looked back at my house. My parents never said I was allowed to enter the forest.... but, then again, they never said I wasn't.
