Olivia Brown
I stayed near the back as we walked. Something was wrong. Something felt missing. We should go back to that old clearing. My feet weren't tingling to go forward at all. By the time they finally stopped I knew that we should go back. Or maybe not back, just in that general direction.
I noticed a red bike seconds before the Eva girl walked over to it. I just watched as everyone crowded around it pulling the weeds out. Moments later they had gotten it free. Eva hopped on it exclaiming,
"It works!" No one seemed to like it as much as Eva though. Micah turned to the rest of us.
"Well now we're here, what are we going to do?" When no one else spoke up he continued. "Maybe we should make a camp for the night. Nothing spectacular, but it still looks as though it is going to rain. In fact," he looked up, "It has already started to sprinkle." As he said it I felt a drop on my hand then another on my forehead. Goosebumps ran up my arms. The temperature was dropping quickly.
"How about we all spread out and look for a good place to make camp." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"We'll just yell if we find a place." Lolli stated then spun on her heel. Within a few minutes everyone had dispersed except for me. Eva had dropped the red bike in the clearing. I absent mildly wondered if it would rust left out in the rain. Finally I walked into the forest feeling very wet and cold. I watched my feet so I wouldn't trip on any of the tree roots. This probably wasn't the best way to find anything, but I didn't want to get muddy.
That is why I ran into something. The something was soft and warm and I let out a yelp as I looked up and saw a girl. I stumbled backwards.
"Hello." She said. She didn't seem unfriendly though I instantly got the impression that she was stuck up from her name-brand clothes and perfect manicured nails. But as I noticed that she smelled good I also got a wave of emotion. I realized that she just wanted to be loved. She felt lonely and betrayed by everyone. Her controlling parents and nanny. She also wished she didn't have money.
This was a lot take in with one breath. It took me a few minutes to recover. She stood there staring. She seemed unsure of what to say. Finally I started,
"Hey, my names Olivia, but you can call me tweet."
"Hello," she said again, but this time her voice was fake with pointlessness. She extended her hand as she introduced herself,
"My name is Avril Calliope. It's a pleasure to meet you." I stared at her hand until she lowered it.
"You may know my parents they own a corporation that-"
"Wait," I interrupted, "Do you have a ring?" She paused, obviously startled.
"Yes.. yes, I do have a ring." She extended her other hand. I leaned forward and saw a small silver bird on her finger. It was truly beautiful. Much better than the gangly one I had found hours ago. For a moment I wondered if the rings all of us had found represented our personalities. I hoped not. "Why do you ask?"
"I found one this morning. All of did." She look confused at my words. "Yeah, there are more of us. We're looking for a spot to make a shelter for the night. Do you want to meet the rest?" I hadn't spoken so much for some time and somehow my mouth felt tired with the effort. Just then I heard a yell from behind me. It sounded like Austin had found us a spot.
