Barret was on his way back to the campus after spending some time in his favorite area of the wooded area near the campus when it happened. He came across a girl sitting crossed legged in plain view of him.
How had he not seen this girl? He was usually so careful, but it's almost like she wasn't there one moment. Of course, it was then he remembered, she might not have been.
He tried to sneak around, without disturbing the girl,but unfortunately, the world had other plans. When he moved to go around her, he stepped right on a stick that cracked with a resounding echo that could be heard from... well maybe not far away, but enough sound to where the girl would probably hear. Unless she was deaf. Please let her be deaf.
