Hide and Seek
It was surprisingly chilly for a sunny day, even if it was Easter is what I was thinking as I stood in front of my grandparents door.Me, my sister, and my cousin Nicholas had already opened our gifts and finished our Easter egg hunt. our grandparents said that we would be having dinner in about 40 minutes. Chey said that we should play hide and seek while we were waiting for dinner. Nicholas said that the house was too big and that we should only play upstairs. We all did rock paper scissors for who was it, Nicholas and I both did rock while Chey did scissors, she loss. We said she had to count to fifty. Me and Nicholas have a special way to play hide and seek. First we tell each other where we are going to hide, then after a few minutes one of us would try to be like a ninja and go to the others hiding place. Next we would both move to a new hiding place and stay there until we were found, sometimes we are in different places in the same room. The two of us went upstairs while Chey was counting. Going up my grandparents stairs always creeped me out because it was such a long stair case and it was almost always dark at the top. I knew it would be hard for Nicholas to hide so I said “Nicholas you should try and cover up your shirt.” “Thanks for the tip.” he responded He was wearing a bright orange shirt. I went into my grandparents bedroom and hid in the corner, with a whole bunch of boxes that I placed their surrounding me. I could still see the mirror which faced the hallway, I saw the reflection of Nicholas going into our grandpa’s computer room. If someone were to walk into the room they would see a pile of boxes that looked like my grandma placed them in the corner, but they were really covering me. I no longer heard Chey counting, if was as if the world stopped when I heard footsteps coming upstairs far down the staircase. They stopped close enough to where I would bet she was halfway up the stairs. She started the slow pace she had before, getting closer to me and Nicholas step by step. When she reached the top and yelled “READY OR NOT HERE I COME!” my heart skipped a beat and my breath caught as I saw her white dress flash by the door. I was sitting there without moving, not even blinking in fear that I would be caught. First she ran into grandpa’s work room, I heard her rummaging about and then saw her run out and down the hallway into the kids room. Nicholas started cracking up and walked out of the room too me. Suddenly we heard “FOUND YOU,” Chey said in a mocking voice. She checked the extra room for me and then walked into our grandparents bed room. I started breathing slowly and as quietly as I could. She dropped down and checked under the bed first, then behind the mirror. She even lifted one of the boxes and exposed my shirt, good thing it was black so she didn’t notice it. Next thing she did was go back into grandpa’s working room. I moved the boxes quietly away from me. Chey was just about to walk in when grandma yelled “Dinners ready!” I ran down stairs and heard Chey mumble almost had you and grandpa yelled ” NO RUNNING!” I walked down the last two steps, with Nicholas waiting for me. He asked “ Did you win?” and I said “Yes”, thinking about what we would do after dinner. |
