(Arkarian Prov)
Eyes dark as night, a buck, and I have locked eyes. His ears twitch and he runs off. Then I hear it too, someone's coming. I think fast and climb the tree next to me, I wait to see who it is. What's he doing in the woods? It's Matthew and he's not alone there's a girl with long blonde hair with him, they're the ones who spooked the deer. They haven't noticed me and I don't plan on giving my hiding place away. " Why are we even here?" The blonde girl asks.
" The woods feel like home to me," Matthew replied.
" You've been acting like this since you came back with what's her face," Blondie says. I'm getting more annoyed every time she speaks. He turns to look at her.
" The girl that you just called ' what's her face' is named Arkarian." He says. She looks taken back but recovers quickly " yeah, I knew that. " She says with a smile. Matthew sighs and turns away.
" Okay, we should start heading back to camp Angela." Her name Angela, well I dislike this girl more and more by the second. I wait until they leave before I come out of my hiding place. I spend most of my time out here in the woods, it feels like home more than a bunk, I can survive, I've proved it. The only time I usually go back to camp is to play D&D. Otherwise, no one notices I'm gone, I like that, being unnoticeable, it's who I am, a shadow in the night.

I'm walking back to camp from the woods with Angela. The real reason why I went out there was to see if I could find Arkarian. She's always gone and hardly ever comes back to camp and I'm the only one that seems to notice that she's gone all the time and if she does come back to camp she's not there for very long. It's not that I don't think she can't survive, I know she can. The truth is I don't know why I look for her in the woods I know I won't find her, she'll only be found if she wants to be and she climbs trees like it's the most natural thing in the world. I'm worried about her though. She's shut herself off from almost everyone besides the group of nerds she hangs out with and they don't know that much about her. She avoids me so I hardly know anything about her besides her wings and that she spends most of her time in the woods.

I'm running back to camp to see my D&D brothers for a while then leave again and to make it back before Matthew does. I get into the camp and I see my D&D group at a picnic table. It seems I beat Matthew here. I think walking up to them " Hey brothers, so what's new here in people land?" I ask.
" Our sister has returned! " Simeon yells like a medieval lord does when his knight comes back from battle. " Quite down dude, I'm trying to keep a low profile around here," I say keeping my voice low.
" Sorry," an embarrassed Simeon says.
" It's fine, okay now get me up to speed about what's happening at camp here," I say sitting down next to Hunter. The first one to speak is Cameron " Well, Tina fell in the lake,"
" Angela won't leave Matthew alone," Simeon says
" who's Angela ?" I ask even though I already know who she is I want to learn more about her.
" Angela is Chayla's best friend, so stay away from here," Carter replies, My mind goes to the girl that asked if she wanted to be friends, the one that pities me.
" there's a dance on Thursday," chase says suddenly. Everyone turns to look at him.
" Thursday, and what's today?" I ask feeling silly I have to ask.
" Tuesday," Chase replies.
" You should go " Simeon yells.
" I..umm, don't do girly and don't know how," I say sheepishly.
" Well, don't worry my real sister can help you with that, she's here at camp also, " Simeon says pointing to a girl with long dark brown hair, she's reading a book in the shade of a tree. That's the girl I ran into!
" Sis, can you come over here please," Simeon yells at the girl. She looks up from her book looking annoyed, I like her already. She gets up and walks over the book in hand.
" Arkarian this is Deserae, Deserae this is Arkarian, " he says introducing us.
" Hello, nice to meet you," Deserae says holding out her hand.
" Hi," I say shaking her hand. I like her more by the second.
" Des, Arki here needs some help looking more girly and also acting like it for the dance, could you help her out?" Simeon asks.
" Sure, follow me, buy little brother, " Deserae says as she starts to walk away. Right then and there I could tell we're going to be best friends.
" wait up Des!" I yell while running to ketchup with her.79Please respect copyright.PENANAMBD4VtVN2g
