Stupid, boring grass![Open]

[Fallon]

Honey groaned as he walked around the rather sunny clearing, the plush grass being flattened beneath his feet. He had been walking in circles for the past almost ten minutes out of boredom, because there was absolutely nothing to do. At all. The Junior in Highschool managed to sit down and occupy himself with picking some of the grass out in an attempt to relieve his boredom but to no prevail did it work. With a long sigh he layed back in the grass, his hands tucked beneath his head full of blue hair that fell in his unique eyes. One of them was dark blue while the other was dark green. You could tell the difference between the two eyes almost immediately upon eye contact.

" Ah, What'll I do? Today is so borin' !" He exclaimed in complainment, his eyes closing to avoid the bright rays of the sun that threatened to blind him. Honey tried to relax while laying there, his black fitted ripped jeans hung on his hips, and his simple green shirt blended in with the grass beneath him quite easily. What could he do today? He finished his homework (Shocker!), Talked to his bestfriend, ate lunch, and played videogames. There was nothing to do, and although he wanted some chaos, he just wouldn't get it today now would he? Well the next best thing is to relax. Although Honey didn't like that at the moment.

Lexi, upon leaving her brother in the music room, decided that she was bored of the same old walls, the twists and turns she knew so well. So she headed for the door, deciding that today would be as good as any to take a walk outside. Once outside, she stopped moving, focusing as she listened carefully. Then, she followed the sound of the trees, rustling in the wind. She wandered along the edge of the woods, feeling the grass under her bare feet, using the feeling to guide her. She knew there was a trail, she knew there was. She had heard others talking about it. She just wasn't sure where it was. But the school was situated quite squarely between the woods and the ocean, and she knew she wasn't going in the direction of the sea, so she kept walking, looking for the opening that would signal the trail.

After a few minutes, she found her opening, and followed the grass until it shifted gently to pine needles under her feet. The ground was flat and smooth, and there was plenty of space between the trees on either side, this must be the trail she was looking for. She followed the feeling of pine needles, enjoying the coolness under her toes. Then, suddenly, there was something hard under her toe. Wood. She stretched her hand out and almost immediately ran into bark. There was a tree less than 2 feet in front of her face. Now who, she wondered, would plant a tree in the middle of a trail? That was just silly. So she moved to one side, felt the pine needles under her toes, and smiled, before suddenly had a frightening thought. Carefully, she stretched her leg out and drew her foot across the ground in a circle around her. She moved two steps to her left, repeated, then another two. There were pine needles everywhere. The needles she'd been walking on had been nothing but the forest floor!

Close to panicking, she tried to go back the way she'd come, but her angle was off, and she ran into another tree. She knew that she would be fine if she just kept her cool and repeated her system in reverse order, but images of her lost in the woods at night were flying through her head. She tried to run the four steps back, then realized that the tree she ran into was too small to be the first one she'd hit. She had no idea if she was even going the right way. In tears, she patted her pocket, searching for her cell phone. It wasn't there. In full blown panick, she dropped to the ground and crawled around on hands and knees, sobbing and looking for her phone. It was nowhere to be found. She curled up there on the ground and wrapped her arms around her knees, rocking back and forth a little as she tried to force the panic away.

After a few minutes she took a deep, shuddering breath and climbed to her feet. So what if she was blind and lost in the woods? She was Alexa Jae Sherelds! She would not be reduced to a pathetic weeping mass on the forest floor. If she just walked in a straight line, she'd get out of the trees, right? So she wiped her eyes dry, shook her head defiantly, and set off carefully in the general direction she believed to be the way she'd come.

She walked for what seemed a very long time, but only because she moved very carefully, from tree to tree, dragging her feet along the ground. To any onlooker she would have appeared to be simply enjoying the afternoon, and the feeling of the forest under her bare feet. After awhile, she began to feel a difference in the ground. The pine needles thinned, and she felt weeds under her toes, which suddenly turned to soft, cool grass at the same time as she felt the sun wash across her face. It was too quiet to be the schoolyard, but there was definitely someone here. She could hear them breathing. "Hello," she said with a shy smile, turning her eyes downwards.
