New girl on the block.

New girl on the block

It was a nice, sunny day today so I went out for a walk. I went around the old miller pond and past the fallen tree. I was walking a pretty unknown trail so, as you can imagine, I was startled to see a young girl in the distance. She was wearing a pair of leggings that came to her knees, paired with a skirt, sleevless shirt and a rather thin looking jacket.

UH OH! She’s heading my way! I ducked into a bush and then up a tree. Between branches I could see her.

She looked about my age. Maybe a little younger . She didn’t look like she knew where she was going. . .but she didn’t look lost either. I stayed in the tree until she passed. Since I hadn’t made any plans for the day I decided to follow her. I tracked her down the trail a ways.

It's been rather rainy lately, so it didn't take long for the girl to slip on the muddy trail. Escpecially in those shoes. She looked sad and frustrated. Then She started to cry.

She told me her name was Sasha. She used to live in the Big city, but her father got a job opportunity that he couldn't turn down. We talked for awhile. That seemed to cheer her up. I showed her around some of my favorite hiding spots and some good hiking trails. She was kinda slow. But I don't blame her. I thought maybe she had really good grip shoes. but the soles were just flat. Good thing I took her on the flat-none muddy areas ^.o

She gave me her address and we promised to visit each other. as soon as she got settled in her new house.
