The Forest

"Turn down the music!" Yelled my mom as I was jamming to my favorite sound track. My life is better with music. It took all the stress that built up from high school away. I turned down the music one notch just to annoy my parents, but it backfired. "Teresa Lee Thompson, come here right now! Turn off the music and bring your homework with you!" When my mom said my name like that, it meant I was in trouble. I went down stairs and my mom just stared at me like moms stare to make you do something. I sat down and started my homework. My calculus problem was working itself out in my head when I got bored of homework. I planned to go to the park with my five friends right then.

When I got to the park, my friends were waiting at the bench by the murky pond. We love to play frisbee, so we took out Lauren's light up disc, and started to play with it. My five friends and I playing frisbee at the park on a beautiful day, was all I wanted to happen. To hear my name being called out as well as calling out my friends names.

Lauren, Dani, Amber, Alex, Connor, and I are the dorks of the school. The popular people are mean and we don't understand why they are so popular. All they do is dab and bottle flip. I don't get it. The names of the three most popular girls at Adams High school are Jessica, Bree, and Taylor. They always give me the stink eye.

 The park that we were playing frisbee at, is right by a forest that nobody goes into.
"Teresa!" I heard Lauren scream. I looked over, and her frisbee was about to crash into my face. I ducked just in time, but it flew and tumbled into the forest behind me. The rule was that if you dropped the frisbee or they were passing it to you, you had to get it. So now it was my turn. The forest is the creepiest thing in town.

I summoned all of my courage, and stepped into the forest. Immedialty after I am inside, I feel a chill racing down my back. It was like all noise from the outside world had been blocked, and all I can hear is the echoing chirp of a bird, and a faint hiss. It feels like the jungle. The huge trees towering over me like giants trying to step on me. I heard another noise, but this time it was Dani, "Teresa?" But all I can focus on were these voices, kind of like whispers, that were all in my head. At least I think so. I saw this faint blue light in the near distance, but the sun seemed to be setting faster and faster. I had to hurry. The voices in my head were getting very loud, so I sprinted. I grabbed the frisbee, and ran. Suddenly, I felt a hand grab my leg and I screamed as loud as I could.
