My Secret Place 2nd draft

When I think of my childhood, a place always comes to my mind. From the moment my old best friend and I found this hidden place by accident, we made a lot of good memories and shared everything there. So, the place reminds me of her bright smile and cheerful laughter. I still miss scent of trees and flowers around the area and the ringing school bell after school. The place provided me a private room and kept me from a noise other students made while chatting, yelling, and running the yard.
It might be a destiny for her and me to discover the place. My friend and I always did everything together like twins such as doing homework, having meals and exercising. Even we had similar hobbies and tastes. So we were like perfectly well-engaged wheels. When we were second grade students, we took a same after-school activity program to learn playing violin. After the violin class finished, we walked out from a building and found a path next to the building. I do not know I can call it a path because it was just a little space leading to a corner beside the building. It was unpaved and colorful grass grew on the road. However, we were attracted to walk into the path by something. So out of curiosity, we walked in and we reached to an empty lot surrounded by trees. It was small but cozy. The ground was soft and comfortable with green grass. Also, the place was located on a hill, so we could look down the town. Then, fresh air came into my breath.
So we got one more secret. My friend and I had already shared many stories but the place was the most valuable present for us. We could improve the friendship more. After the school finished, we often went to there and had a great time. Sometimes we did homework, sang songs, or had chat while eating chips together. Because it was the hidden place, nobody could find us and interrupt our time. So we could open our minds to each other and even talked about sensitive topics such as a boy who I liked in the classroom. We unpacked a bag of stories that we did not want others to know. Even the atmosphere of the place made us relieved to continue talking. Imagine the blue sky with fleecy clouds and a light breezing on the green and soft ground. I could sometimes hear others laughing and music flowing from somewhere. Trees were fluttering in the wind and we still had a lot of story to talk.
However, I also enjoyed having my own time there. I often went to there by myself. I always wanted to lie down on my back on the grass, look up to the sky and just enjoy watching clouds flitting. At that time, I sometimes felt sick of doing homework and going to an academy for extra study. When I felt like escaping from the repeated daily life, I went to the secret place. I could be relaxed by looking down at the town. Under the hill, people looked very busy and were in hurry to move somewhere but I felt like only I was in the paused time. So I felt like I became special. Because I ensured that nobody would come, so I did not need to care about the outside world. It was completely isolated, so there was very calm, quiet and peaceful. It was a good place to arrange thoughts or read books in the sun.
Unfortunately, the place was disappeared due to construction but it still remained in my mind. When I was in the place, I felt like I fell in the completely different world where others could not find me. So I felt like being a invisible man. I will never forget the comfort and good memories with my best friend in the place. I still miss my sweetest oasis where provided me the requisite opportunities to rest and rejuvenate.

My Invisible Secret Place
When I think of my childhood, a place always comes to my mind. After my old best friend and I found this hidden place by accident, we made a lot of good memories and shared everything there. So, the place reminds me of her bright smile and cheerful laughter. I still miss scent of trees and flowers around the area and the ringing school bell after school. The place provided me a private room and kept me from a noise that other students made while chatting, yelling, and running around the yard.
It might be a destiny for her and me to discover the place. My friend and I always did everything together like twins such as doing homework, having meals and exercising. Even we had similar hobbies like playing badminton and same tastes of favorite singers or TV dramas. So we were like perfectly well-engaged wheels. When we were second grade students, we took a same after-school activity program to learn playing violin. After the violin class finished, we walked out from a building and found a path next to the building. I do not know I can call it a path because it was just a little space leading to a corner beside the building. It was unpaved and colorful grass grew on the road.

After the school finished, we often went to there and had a great time. Sometimes we did homework, sang songs, or had chat while eating chips together. Because it was the hidden place, nobody could find us and interrupt our time. So we could open our minds wider to each other and even talked about sensitive topics such as a boy who I liked in the classroom. We unpacked a bag of stories that we did not want others to know. Even the atmosphere of the place made us relieved to continue talking. Imagine the blue sky with fleecy clouds and a light breezing on the green soft ground.
