I FEEL YOU IN MY HEART, AND I DON"T EVEN KNOW YOU
It was a lazy Saturday in October. The sun had been up almost the entire morning, and the air was warm, a touch of summer left in the air. Sky figured that it would be the end of all the heat, a summer's last goodbye sort of deal. So she did the most summery activity she could think of, she headed to the lake. Drinking, tanning, sleeping. Not necessarily in that order. She did know of a secluded spot, somewhere only a few people knew about. The sun touched there, and the water had been warm late into October the previous year. So Sky packed a tote full of the basics: a blanket, firewhiskey, a book, her ipod, and headed out of the dorm, greeting people as she headed down the corridor to the stairs. Down the stairs, then out the door, she found that many people were outside. A few people were wading in the lake, excitement at the bit of summer that seemed almost left over. The weather was odd at this campus, New England always seemed to surprise the populace with gifts of nice weather, and cursed it with bad weather. Winter seemed just around the corner, and Sky wasn't too pleased about that. Winter sucked, plain and simple.
Wearing an adorable navy jersey dress with a pair of perpetually lasting beatup flipflops, she headed down the path. There was a fight going on between some angry looking guy with a bad haircut and a guy that Sky knew to be a bully. Hmm, usually he picked his victims carefully, making sure that none of them had the confidence to fight back. Shrugging, she moved on, and headed towards her destination. When she reached the area, she spread the blanket out, glad for the thicket around her, and the privacy. The sun beat down on her from overhead, and she laid out on the blanket. She extracted her ipod, set the music settings on rock, pulled out her book and a bottle of drink. Some muggle band Black Sabbath blared from her headphones, and Sky lost herself in the world of Hamlet. She had already read about half of it, and had decided that she liked the crazy main character.
