Authors Note: This started out as a journal entry but i turned it into a short story. I'm not done yet, this is what I have so far. (The word I made up is highlighted)
A clearing in the woods…

What does it lead to? I ask myself. My group and chaperon start to walk farther along the path. They won't notice I'm gone. I tell myself. My muddy sneakers shuffle into the opening. I can feel the sweat dripping down my nose and onto the ground. I start to get nervous. Quickly I turn around like a robot and run back to my group. When I get back everyone stares at me. I'm panting loudly interrupting the speaker who's talking about some species of spider.  "Now, the black striped spider is…" she stops and stares at me. There on my shoulder is a giant black striped spider. "…extremely deadly!" finished the lady in a timid way. "Nobody move, I'll go get a specialist." Everyone moves. I start to hyper  venolate right as a scientist comes walking over.  As if the spider knows what will happen, he jumps off my shoulder and crawls back into the woods. "Go after it! That's a rare species!" I could care less about how rare a stupid spider was. The only thing I was worried about was myself. "Are you crazy?!" I finatically screamed at the 'specialist'. "Aren't you a little concerned about me? It could have given me some sort of poison! What is it called? Anna...anna..."
"Annastesia?"
"...whatever." frustrated, I said something I would eventually regret. "I'm suing you!"
"For what?" said the specialist
"Yeah, for what?" the lady chimed in.
"For...for having an unsafe environment for children."
"What are you talking about? This is an outdoor field trip. There are going to be some dangers!"
"Yeah, it's as dangerous as a classroom. There's scissors, staplers, you could get a paper cut!" commented the now extremely annoying lady.
"Shut up!" I suddenly realized how rude that sounded.
"Excuse me?! Do not tell me to shut up little girl!" she said with emphasis.
A little embarrassed... "...Sorry" I said in a quiet voice.
"And what kind of authority do you think you have to just go...suing people?!" the specialist commented.
"Yeah, you don't even have a lawyer."
"I panicked all right! I'm not going to sue you! But don't you think you should have some safety fences, or something to keep the wildlife out?!"
"But...we do. Except for that one spot.  That clearing in the woods..." it seemed as though a little light bulb lit up over the lady's head.
"...You...you went in there! You were supposed to be with your group and chaperon."
All of the kids brains must have thought the same thought, because all at once, they said
"Ooooo!" in that you just got burned voice.
I stood their, now silent, waiting for my punishment. For a split second I thought I should maybe give a puppy-face look.  Then realized that it wouldn't help at all. Suddenly, my teacher spoke.
"Let's just pretend this hole shibang never happened, okay? We're terribly sorry."
My teacher looked over at me motioning to say the same.
"I'm really sorry." I said in a weak, unconvincing voice.
The lady spoke, "Oh yeah, well..."
My teacher gives her a look that said just keep your mouth shut, you have nothing to say.
"Alright kids, let's get on the bus. We've had enough fun here." giving the lady and the specialist one more look. In a way, I was glad to know that my teacher would stand up for his students like he just did. When I heard that it was time to go on the bus, I was already in the front of the line. I couldn't wait to leave this place and go home.
