Taking a Break

With all the work they had to do to prepare for and write their finals, Hilary was surprised that her head hadn't exploded yet. She was sure that she couldn't possibly stuff any more information into her brain.

She had decided to take a break from all the studying and writing, and sit down by the lake for a while. She had been stuck in the stuffy castle for days, and she figured that some fresh air might do her some good.

She sat down by the edge of the lake, watching as the giant squid bobbed above the water not too far from where she was sitting.

"Hey," Jenny dumped her bag a few feet from her fellow raven. "Is that the squid? I've never seen it this close before," Jenny stated before collapsing onto the grass with relief. She loved being outdoors- especially by the lake. Her head was usually as clear as the waters, there. She closed her eyes and relaxed wondering if she was going to take a nap or chat.
