The Forest next to Apple Wood Road

The air was fresh with sunlight everywhere. The soft light glistened on Sara's blonde hair, as her sharp green eyes shined in the sun. Today was an early dismissal and Sara's parents didn't really want her to be home until later. Usually she would go to the mall or play video games at Game Shop, but today that all seemed boring, not worth it. She sighed, as she began walking on Apple Wood Road.
