Trail (part ii)

Into The Forest

The week of spring break was what all students hoped for, it was like a second Christmas present. Many students had extraordinary things planned out, from going on cruises to places where the weather was tropical, or going to rekindle with family members they didn’t even know existed. For Eva, it was going camping. She was planning to go on a road trip to California with her friend, but they had a falling out before break, so she was stuck going on a camping trip with her family. She sat on the end seat in the car, glancing out the window as they passed by houses that were painted colors so bright, it had hurt her eyes. She let out a sigh, opening the window so she could get air.

About ten minutes after they passed the houses, her mom had began driving toward the vast area of forest where smoke rose from the trees. She looked out the window again, where they were approaching the cabin. She slumped her head against the door before she sat up in her seat, as she saw something sitting near her cabin. She had told her mom to slow down, as she put her head out the window, glancing back at a bear who appeared to be waving at her. She couldn’t help but smile, as she ducked her head back into the car. Because of the strange occurrence, the girl had a feeling it was going to be a good week.
