The laughter of One

Number one:
My legs were beginning to cramp as I sat motionless in my hiding place. I tried to slow my breathing, but I could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears. I wondered if it could be heard in the deafening silence. I felt my calf muscle tighten painfully and as a reaction, I shifted my weight. The sound echoed and it was my fatal mistake…

Mr. Keown yelled, "Found you!" and I was it.

It was the night of the 30 hour famine and we were playing hide and go seek and Mr. Keown had found me. I started counting to fifty and I heard children s laughter. I finished counting and the first place I went was the bathroom. I walked in and there wasn't anybody in sight. I thought that can't be right there is always somebody hiding in the bathroom.

I went to Mr. Wilson's room next and still not a sound or a face in the room.

I went into panic mode. "Could they have left me here all by myself. Could they all be captured by an evil supervillan. Only god could know I guess."

I had been looking for over an hour now and still nobody in sight. Then it happened the laughter of one Derek Cross. The search was on now.

I went into the gym and looked around it was so dark you couldn't see anything and then the lights went on then I got pelted with dodge balls. I got hit from everywhere and then I saw Carter and tagged him on the back. He started to cry because he didn't want to be it so we got him his suther and the game was over.
