My OperaAnother update! OMG!

Yes, I'm updating twice in the same year. It's amazing.
So, my birthday was a week ago plus some. I've officially been 17 for nine days.
I've also gotten over the girl I asked out. It's very odd. I liked her for over three years and stopped liking her in under a week. Anyway, now there's someone else I have a crush on.
I figure I'll throw in something I wrote recently. This was just a bit of practice with scenery since I've never worked much on that.
Maria was sitting in a tree. She had no reason to be there, she just was. Had she climbed up there? Jumped down from above? No, neither of those. She just couldn’t remember.
She wasn’t far from the ground; a fall wouldn’t hurt too much. Still, she was careful climbing down. The branch she’d been sitting on was sturdy, but thin enough to grab with one hand.
Leaves covered the ground; it must be autumn. Hadn’t it been winter just yesterday? There had been snow in Maria’s yard. Not enough to cover the roads, just a thin layer over the grass. Now it was the middle of fall?
She looked around. The trees were still young in this part of the forest. Most were barely tall enough to climb. How long had it been since Maria climbed a tree, though? Three or four years, at least. Except that tree she was just in. Still, had she been climbing that one?
There was a small path a few feet away. It seemed to be used frequently; there weren’t many leaves over it, and most of the twigs had been moved off to the side. Maria stepped onto it and started walking.
After a few minutes the girl noticed a cave just off the path. A fire was burning inside, but nobody was near it. The walls had chalk on them. A few drawings of animals and people were near the floor. Higher up the wall, someone had been writing.
This is a dream.
Maria woke up in her bed and looked at the clock beside her. Barely past two. This would be a long night.
