Time

It would be great to be 16 again!"

"Your insane!!" I reply, slighting laughing from the weirdness of it all. "You want to go back and deal with the drama, poor choices, crapy teachers and boy trouble? You want this for your self? This is your dream?"

She stifles a shocked laugh..."No, I don't want to have to pay bills or worry about work or housing. I want to go to school and see friends on a regular basis. I want time... I want to go outside wearing too much make-up and have no one care because it is just a phase. I want to get into a fight just for fun, and then laugh about it later... I want freedom."

"Freedom?" I ask. "Is this freedom?"

"Depending on who you choose to be... yes."

"Can I be free again?" I say looking down at my thumbs.

"Yes, if you only try."

*This is not about me... this is part of a short story I wrote for school*
