The day I got lost in the woods
I am a 21 year old sophomore in college and I do pretty much anything I am told to do. One day my life had change for 24 hours. Before we get to do that I want to tell everyone about myself and who I have become.
Like I said before I am 21 year old sophomore in college and I am straight A student. I love my academics and I wouldn't change it for the world. Back in high school I was the same way but I also was a track star and would run on the track like the wind moved through the sky. I never had much friends until I got to college and these two people, I have got to know really well in the past two years and they are brother and sister.
I grew up in the big city of Atlanta, Georgia and that is all I have ever known. When I graduated High School, I told myself I wanted to move to the country away from what I know and change my life completely. I moved to Tennessee to go to college there and because I like the color orange.
My scholarship from being a track star in high school is giving me a full ride as long as my grades are good, but you know me they will be. Well it is summer time and instead of going home to Atlanta, I decided to stay at school and maybe find a job or maybe just relax from all the academics.
I couldn't find a job I really liked so I decided to stay in my room and watch television. It's a Saturday morning and my two friends came through the door like they owned the place. In all reality they do own the place, Mommy and Daddy bought the place for them as long as they stayed together.
They both told me to get up off the couch and that we were going hiking through the mountains or one of the national forests. I told them I really did not want to go because I was a city girl and that I would get lost. I also didn't know anything about camping much because did not have woods where I am from and we didn't go out much.
My friend insisted and poked and nagged until I agreed to go with them. When We got to the forest that we were going to hike we pull into a spot they had on the side of the road and got out to gather all our things that we would need. We didn't pack much because we were only staying out for a few hours.
I was about done gathering my stuff when my friends got excited, and start the journey without me. I told myself I would and can catch up to them but by the time I would have caught up to them we were deep in the forest and I had gotten lost, I kept going to see if I could find them but it turned out they just vanished in thin air and there was no trace of them anywhere.
I had stayed in the woods and found a cave and some food that was just sitting there and I had slept in the cave all night. I then left the cave the next morning and I walked or ran because I thought something was after me.
I then returned home and my friends somehow have gotten there and they never thought to look for me.
