Chapter 2: crazy?

One day about 6 months after Chihiro started school the Guidance Counselor called Chihiro in to the her office. "Chihiro," the guidance counselor started, "I'm worried about you, you seem to live in your own world of Spirits and dragons," the guidance counselor was looking over all of Chihiro's Writing pieces for school, her grades(not very good to much daydreaming), "I also have noticed you don't eat lunch with anyone.....do you have any friends here? Would you tell anyone before you did something drastic?"

"Drastic?" asked Chihiro, she was confused.

"Yes drastic like smoke or do other illegal drugs, or kill yourself. You just seem to stay in your world a little to much why don't you stay in reality for awhile." Replied the guidance counselor.

"Kill myself, I would never do that... just cause I haven't forgotten how to fly(a/n: in Peter Pan he can fly but adults can't because they have forgotten all you need is a Happy thought(it's an expression that I know and use referring to people who don't like fantasy books, movies, etc.))," Chihiro said.

"Well actually that's interesting you can fly?"

"It's an expres..." Chihiro was cut off.

"I'm sorry Chihiro I have to go to a meeting right now but we'll talk on Monday ok?" Chihiro reluctantly said, "ok," and left. When school was over she walked to the river, but didn't do homework.

"Oh river do you think I'm crazy?" Chihiro waited for a reply. Oddly there in the river formed a picture of Kohaku clear as day. Chihiro looked around and looked back she could still see Kohaku it wasn't her imagination it was the river spirit. Then something whispered over the river it was one word "RETURN" Chihiro understood the message completely, but how could she? She got up and walked home thinking of what she should do.

Chihiro opened up the door and right before she was going to say, "Hey I'm home" she heard her parents talking. "Chihiro said she could fly?" Chihiro's Dad says

"That's not what is worrying me the guidance counselor said she needs help and we should take her to a clinic tomorrow..." said Chihiro's Mother. Chihiro stopped listening and thought Well that settles it, Thanks guidance counselor lady you were good for one thing.....I'm going back. Chihiro grabbed a warm jacket and slipped silently out the door and walked towards the woods. She knew her parents would be worried she left the house very early that morning and went to the river before school. Her parents wanted her to have a huge birthday party with all her new friends, how could she say all her new friends were spirits.
