Lilac

Lilac pg 1

A feather drifted lazily to the ground. The fight above me was full force now. Then something in the air shifted. The crow finally gave up and left the eagle to the mouse in its talons. The eagle screeched triumphantly and flew off as footsteps approached me.

"Hey Lilac!" It was June, as she approached me, I waved hi. "Watching the birds again?" I nodded. I bent down to pick up the feather that had fallen, it was the crows feather. "It's a good day to be bird watching, but shouldn't we be getting to school?" I sighed, I hated school. The kids there where mean and bullied me because I'm mute.

The bus was waiting for us when we got there, and we set our bags down as we waited for the teachers to come out of the building. The Teachers finally came out, and we started onto the bus. As we boarded the bus, me and June managed to grab back seats, the biggest and most computable seats.

...

After a few hours we arrive at the bird sanctuary. The teachers passed out cards that had our cabin and room numbers, and our bunk mates. I hoped that me and Lilac where in the same room! As I turned to her, I instantly knew something was up, as she looked scared.

"Are you ok? What's the matter?" I asked as I took the paper from her hands. Lilacs kind eyes where now filled with dread and fear, as she turned to me. Her hands where trembling even though she tried to stop.

...

The moon cursed bullies, and I was bunked with them! So, the only good thing about this trip would be the birds. My hands where trembling too much to sight to June, but she could see it in my face.

As we climbed the steps to our cabin, I tried to calm down.

I risked a glance at the bullies, who were a few steps below us, and I realized one of them had spotted the fourth name on their sheet. I silently hoped that there was a mistake, and someone would notice.

When we entered the cabin, I realized that there were 12 rooms per cabin, and 4 people per room, and that was why we had bunk mates. I also realized my room was the first one. Directly in front of the main door. The cabin had two long halls, with our rooms on one side, and two big rooms for hanging out on the other side.
