I want to go everywhere.
I'm sitting in my room one day, moping on about how I'm stuck in one place. My body is there but my mind, somewhere else.
I open my english tablet and look over the maps of the world glued in. "We will highlight the places we've visited around the world throughout the year." my teacher had said, while the class looked at her crossly.
"How will we get there?" soeone had asked.
"We will read ourselves there."
I started to think back on all the books i've read.
What in the world was I moping about?
I've been to Spain, Italy, France, Korea. I've rode on a dragon's back, went swimming with mermaids, gasped at the great pyramids of Egypt! I've dodged arrows by the millions, faught side by side with the greatest warriors! I was in the majority by now.
I open another book, feel the London air on my face and next the ocean spray down below. Now, I'm on my way to Neverland...
