Chapter 8: Ch. 8: Observer

I see the two humans sit in the meadow. Me, well hidden in the trees, I can't exactly hear what they say but by what the female does next makes me think it's serious. When I see her hug him tightly, I think these two know each other well. I didn't have what humans call friends when I was little and I don't have any now. I don't know what it's like to have friends. The girl gets up and walks towards me but she's facing the boy, I slowly but surely, walk out of her path into a large bush. Just in time because she passes by me quickly, I realize she's running, the male not far behind. I hear them laughing, they're playing. I softly get out of my hiding spot and watch as they run through the maze of trees, the girl dodges the brush and disappears.
