"Let me out!" screamed a terrified eight year old Natsume Hyuuga. He was trapped in total darkness with four walls closing in on him. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he remembered what had happen.

He was playing hide and seek with two boys from his school. Their names were Kokoroyomi and Ruka Nogi. Natsume was so happy when they invited him to join them. In school Natsume was the most popular kid because his aunt was the famous actress Misaki but when all the excitement about her was over, he was lonely all over again. In real life, Natsume doesn't have any friends because all the other kids assumed he was too good to play with them.

"Okay," said Ruka. "I''ll seek and you guys hide. 10…15…20…25…"

Natsume jumped with excitement and started running to find a place to hide. He saw a refrigerator near his house. He wondered where it came from but then didn't care because it would make a great hiding place. Natsume hid for a while and then he heard Ruka and Koko's voices. He wondered what was going on and then he heard a noise.

"I hope you like it in there Natsume!"

'What?' thought Natsume. He tried to push open the door but it wouldn't budge. He felt trap and started to gasp for air. He pounded on the door and screamed, "Let me out you guys!"

Ruka just laughed. "Why don't you ask your aunt Misaki to help you? Act like you're better than us just because she is famous."
Natsume's heart sank. He couldn't believe it. He thought Ruka and Koko were his friends but they had tricked him. He began to cry. "I don't act like I'm better. Please let me out."

Koko began to laugh. "This will teach you to mess with us." Then he and Ruka left.

In the dark Natsume sat and curled himself into a little ball. He was terrified. He was scared of the dark and worse, he was afraid of being alone. Then he heard a knocking.

A little girly voice called out, "Is someone in there?"

Natsume stood up and banged his fists against the door. "Hurry up and let me out!"

"Wait!"

He heard the noise of wood sliding and the door suddenly opened. Just as he saw light coming he pushed his way out. He bent over and began breathing fast because he almost ran out of air when he was inside the refrigerator. Then a pair of Mary Janes came into his view. When he looked up he saw a pair of big brown eyes staring back at him. It was a little girl in pig tails that saved him.

They looked at each other for a while and didn't say anything. Then the girl looked down and kicked her foot into the dirt. "Umm…what were you doing in my fridge?"

Natsume looked at her and then he turned away and ran into his house, leaving the little girl staring after him.
