**Avery**
Before I fell asleep, I sent each of The Trio a text saying that I wouldn’t be at school until Friday. Also, I sent them bits of what I had done for our shared classes. I have rarely ever done anything for myself, and this headmaster-approved vacation will serve as an early graduation present to myself. I picked up my book, which I intended to read until I fell asleep. After a few hours of reading, sleep took me and plunged me into my memories. I watched my six-year-old self run into the woods. It was one of the many times that I sought refuge in the woods to hide from the kids at the orphanage. I see myself looking around. This must have been the time after I had run into that dragon because I could vaguely see the scar poke out from my shirt.
