  We reached a kind of pool inhabited by frogs, which clearly had too large a forehead. Her croaking sounded pretty normal, however. Maybe an octave too low, but nothing earth-shattering. The grass we had to go through was quite annoying because of their length. Unfortunately for us, they were still razor-sharp, so they cut my skin well. If only I had put on longer clothes ...“Could you perhaps flatten the stalks in front of you more thoroughly? Some of them are still brushing me, ”I informed the hooded boy."I'm sorry, but I don't take any special requests." Somebody was in a bad mood. Was it because he had to see his father right away?“It was just a request ...”“You shouldn't get used to always getting what you want. It may look different in your ideal world, but there are different laws here. ”No one was kidding."Just forget about it," I muttered to myself.In the meantime I had discovered walking on

  Still no answer. I looked up with a sigh. Much had changed here. The flower bed to my right was now framed by a self-made fence, with a painted metal bird watching over them. Should that look pretty? Why did we always enjoy going here anyway?The large, wide meadow came together in the middle to form a small elevation. We used to toboggan down there with our sled. Today the edge has been embellished with stones from which wild bushes grow out.My eyes fall on the swing next to me. It is empty. The only thing I see on it is white bird droppings. The ropes are worn out because they have been carrying the swing for a while.When I see the beautiful farmhouse at the back on the left, it ran down my spine. Surely everyone in their childhood had this scary grandma who ran after you after you hit the bell with the frying pan. Well, I still had them in my youth. Not even because we pissed off the woman in this house. Just when we were hanging around laughing on that swi

  Suddenly my feet hit sandy ground. Not that comfortable beach floor I've known from countless East Coast vacations. The sand chafed rough on my feet. There could be no question of fine sand here.The huge number of black balloons had burst, except for one, which now gave me a better view of my surroundings. Ahead of us was a body of water bordered by large forests. It was already dark, but that didn't matter as there were oil lamps everywhere that would light our way.The wind around us was too strong. It brought with it a strange smell that reminded me a little of that of new writing paper. But that just didn't fit in this place, the reason my nose had to be wrong."Not that bad here, is it?" The hooded boy asked me after looking around for a while. He was right. The word how I would describe his home would not be bad . "That's how you described it," I reminded him."No. I love the landscapes here, even more than those on earth. That doesn't change the f

  I carefully felt for the string. "Now what?" "Now you can look up." I put my head back and then opened my eyes. What I saw there was just amazing. Instead of the one black balloon there was now a whole pile of the sort."Why are the balloons all black?" I asked him in amazement. "Because that's the way I am." "I think a pink balloon or two in between wouldn't hurt." When those words left my lips, we took off."That's funny," he said, but this time without that funny laugh. Although it would have fit his sentence well. "What's funny about that?" "If I didn't hear the opposite in your thoughts, then I could swear that you remember."The masses of black balloons carried us higher and higher into the sky. Now nobody was allowed to burst. He noticed my nervousness and put an arm around me to calm me down. But it was already clear that these weren't normal balloons. Otherwise my hands would not have been able to hold the cord for much longer.....

  At the same time, however, I realized that I couldn't share that with my clique this time. I had to go secretly. What happened to school? With my parents? Pah, my parents! Should I be missed for a few days? I liked the idea that they could actually care for me. And school? Has been overrated. If I were to tell the police afterwards that I had been kidnapped, then I would certainly not have to retype the stupid work.I would have to lie to the police ...I hated lying. And then another big lie. But what other reason could you just disappear from the earth like that? Maybe out of fear? Exactly, that was better! Then they wouldn't ask me any questions about my non-existent kidnapper. Someone threatened me with anonymous messages that I should get out of here. Of course, I still don't know who it is after my return ..."Hello? Earth to Poppy! Are you still thinking about it? You are not going there. The End. Finito. ”Somehow it was very touching that Eri

• When Two Opposites Meet   The reason

  Why do you have dark circles further to the North Pole?" Erin asked me. Nice that she pointed this out to me so obviously. "Maybe because I couldn't sleep at all last night?" "How come?" Asked Zoe. Yes ... may I introduce my over-concerned clique. Even though I sometimes felt like we were a picture book sample of these popular high school cliques ... I could still count on every one of them.As befits any good high school clique, Jess was practically our leader. But she was somehow not your typical breed. Because of her reddish hair, she was often bullied during elementary school, she told us. Even so, at some point she became a real beauty, which is why the teasing set in. And not only that: Because of her self-confidence, she became a real swarm of men.Since then she had somehow made it her business to help pretty losers get up. Yes, I was a loser once too. Why? You can guess three times. Because of my great ex-best friend Lucas. He had always been the more popular
