College...

haha Im not proud of this but during english class when ms. twombly haha i know its fun to say TWO-MBLY was going over how to use the online classroom i was zoning in and out i mean i've heard this 8 times basically and i've already done the assignment she was trying to explain how to do ...it wasn't until i realized she was assigning homework did i pay attention...i think i did it all...lol

Well i dont know what she said but a thought popped into my head and voila i was hit was a sudden urge to write ....funny how it became about escape...darn that psychology class now im asking was that my subconsious telling me i want to escape boring lectures? haha or maybe i was just thinking of running away with Ian from The Host :P

"It's dark, a harsh wind rips across my face as i huddle next to the bush where i've been waiting, for nearly an hour, for the gaurds to change shifts. I will only have 6 minutes to get from here to the gate whre Ian waits for me. My legs have lost all feeling 40 minutes ago from crouching. A light drizzle begins to fall and I hope it picks up, if the rain washes away our tracks maybe we could do this. I close my eyes and inhale deeply taking in the smell of the sodden dirt beneath me, the mossy tree inches from my right, and the clean crisp scent of the rain which has picked up to a steady downpour. I open my eyes when i hear a shuffle; my body goes rigid, have they found me? Ian? Did they notice we were gone? It can't be everyone is still in the auditoriam, I can hear thier faint laughter if i concentrate. I scan the area around me searching my left side for who or what made the noise, just in time to see the a squirrel duck into a knothole of a tree. I turn back to see the last gaurd round the corner and sigh in relief. I stand and stretch the screaming muscles in my legs and take a carefull step out checking for any sign the gaurds might return or if i might be seen, and I'm off. There's nothing but open space from here to the gate which is about a mile away, I know i can make it. I'm 8 feet from the gate when a harsh light floods my face. I failed. I know it.

I cringe waiting for the first blow, most runners hardly make it after being caught, I know I'll be killed for sure, because no one has made it this far. I cringe when the figure before me speaks but i dont hear shouting or anger but "It's ok, it's just me." My body collapses from beneath me and i fall to my knees. "What are you doing, we have to go" he whispers fiercely, even alone out here he keeps his voice low in fear he'll be heard. "I'm coming" I say as I rise to my feet and resume my pace torward the gate. My heart skips a beat, I've made it. We've made it."

Funny thing is class ended before i could escape ^-^ i got to "I failed. I know it." when we were dismissed but i had time before history and finished my escape.
