A pleasant dream was keeping me in the cradle of night, but unfortunately I had no power of absolute phenomenon to protect me from the usual knock on the door. And the laziness wasn't helping me either. So, I suffered from the rush of a typical Monday morning once again.
Leaving the house at twenty past eight, I had exactly ten minutes to get to school. But I walked lazily, with the illusional incident in the trees stuck in my mind. All I could do was ponder; how long would it be until I saw that beloved Alek? How long would it be until I climbed that scaly ladder, and glance up at the smile on his face? This I didn't know the answer to. I could of course visit him today, but I concluded that it would be wise not to. After my trip last time, I was late for a whole half hour. If I dared to come up with another excuse to travel to the woods, my parents will start getting even more suspicious than they normally are. In the end, I decided that I would go when I was needed. My parents could ask me to collect some wood for the fire, or maybe any food that was available in the nature fortress anytime. And so this is what I would do- whenever I was asked to collect anything from the woods, I would visit . And as soon as my decision fulfilled me, I ran down my route again to school.
Arriving late, my friends greeted me. Alice and Jessica were chatting about 'some guy that said hi to us on the way to school' and apparently 'he is so hot'. But I took no interest in their conversation, and instead thought about Alek. I didn't dare speak of it to them either, because sooner or later the whole school would mysteriously find out.
I drifted off through most of my lessons, except geography. We were looking at the rainforest and I could only gaze at the pictures, hoping to spot a treehouse. It was a constant reminder. All I thought about was Alek. How he spotted me, helped me climb up, invited me into his house, gave me a cup of tea, and even made me blush. But sooner or later I would visit him. Which made me remember. There was so many things I wanted to ask Alek about. Like how did he end up living in that treehouse? Where are his parents, his family or even friends? Does he go to school or work somewhere? How does he survive in those woods? All those questions remained unanswered. But soon, soon I would find out. Soon he will hopefully reveal these answers to me. Soon I will know. --------------------------------- @misslittleDHP @eddie12309 @16Moonlight @tattyteddy
