The Scooter School

Date: 8/27/2018

Everywhere we went we went on electric scooters. Usually we’d share two to a scooter. Malu would scooter in front of me most of the time. Their was a cupcake breakfast where I at cake that tasted like styrofoam and cookies that tasted like caramel. One of the days we went out into the woods in larges trucks. I don’t remember driving one, but that is how we hiked that day. One day I got lost. It wasn’t a school day and I didn’t have my phone. The forest was so big. Yet so small. Like I was walking around in a model filled with toys. I’d been walking for days. Starving. I was so desperate I took a bite of a tree. It tasted sugary. I kept biting at it. I ate our an entire chunk. I passed out and was eventually found and hospitalized. I recounted this story to numerous class mates. Sometimes I didn’t include how I almost died. My crush, a guy who looked like peter from “All the boys I loved before” shared my scooter. I didn’t tell him.
