week 9
When:Friday after dark
Where:the beach
Who:Serena and open
"That's it!" Serena yelled tossing her books across the room. They fell harmlessly to the bed. She was sick and tired of studying, trying to catch up with classes. She had secluded herself in her room for the last three weeks studying. There was an ulterior motive for her seclusion. She was tired of people whispering when they saw her broken arm. Now, her arm had been mostly healed for the better part of the week, and she was out of the cast. There was no reason for her to stay locked up in her room when there were other things she could be doing. There was only so much studying a girl could handle. She threw a sweater over her light purple dress and slipped into a pair of comfortable sandals, and without a second thought practically flew out of the room.
Hurrying quickly out of Zephyr house so she didn't run into any of the popular study groups she headed for the exit to the school. The sun had been down for a good couple of hours. She paused briefly outside the school thinking about where to go. Finally settling on the beach she headed toward the bluffs over looking it. Moving quickly she slipped from shadow to shadow. She didn't really want to be alone, but she also didn't want to run into anybody. It was a conundrum she knew but hey she didn't really care. If someone happened upon her she'd welcome the company but for now she was content. The darkness wrapped around her like a long lost friend, and a small breeze brushed by her, playing with her hair as it went.
Approaching the beach she finally slowed down and opened herself to the night. She sighed happily as the wind picked up slightly near her. Slipping her sandals off she walked down to the waters edge, holding the shoes with one hand and playing her other hand over the wind. Closing her eyes she inhaled the ocean smells mixed with the smells of the woods behind her. It had been to long since she had been outside. Her arms prickled with the energy in the night. She opened her eyes and looked as far as she could to the horizon. The stars twinkled brightly against the darkness and the moon glittered against the blackened ocean. Stepping back from the small waves, Serena moved up the beach,until she found a patch of sand without a lot of ocean debris. Laying on her back Serena stared up at the night sky, and wondered if it would show her new visions.
