Why Me?!?!?! Chapter 2
I felt free. That's all that could describe it. Bouncing to school in my DC sneakers, my backpack slightly weighing me down, I felt as if I finally escaped the torture of home. I had a LOT of problems with my parents. I didn't even see them before I left the house. Oh well. My iPod turned onto shuffle when I hopped onto the sidewalk across the street. "Party in the USA" screw that. I shook it again, "Magic" eh sure, why not? I tried to drown out the noise of the busy street next to me. I closed my eyes and let my feet go into automatic, since I have been taking this route to school for 9 years now.
I pictured myself under a tree. A huge drooping tree, all around me was grass, and further out was a meadow. On the other side, a forest. More like a jungle if you look towards the center. To my right was a beautiful house with a huge porch and many windows. I could feel the soft wind and I pulled my lime jacket on tighter.
"BEEEEEEP" was all I heard and it was enough to take me out of my daydreaming and make me realize that a big purple bus was headed straight for me. I had walked right onto the street! I quickly jumped back as the bus zoomed by inches from my nose. My heart pounded as I walked backwards onto the sidewalk and tried to figure out what had just happened. I usually walk straight towards school. Never have my feet taken me anywhere else and if they did, I would have noticed myself walking off the sidewalk. I looked around to see where I was exactly and gasped.
