Chapter 19: I'm Incognito
I wake up in the middle of the night screaming. I had such a weird nightmare, it's weird because I can't remember it even though I just had it. I fall back on my bed hoping that it was just nothing, I'm sure it was just nothing though. I should just close my eyes and fall back asleep...
I wake up at seven AM feeling cold sweat on my back, I feel like I don't want to get out of bed. I feel as if I did, something bad would happen. I have to get up, I slowly take my foot and touch the floor, nothing happens. So I finally stand up and fall through the floor, I keep falling and falling and falling.
Then I find myself back in my bed. "Man, another weird dream." I say to myself. Then my phone starts to ring, I pick it up, "Hello?"
"Alex!" The person on the other line says. I know exactly who it is, Tess.
"Tess, why are you calling?" I ask.
"DUH! Because it's like three PM and you haven't come outside at all. You didn't answer your door either, we were getting so worried!" She yells into the phone. I hear the phone get snatched from Tess.
"Hey Alex, it's Ellie. Tess was the only one who was freaking out, the rest of us assumed you were tired or sick." Ellie says, "We all tried to get a hold of you, but we couldn't so we assumed you wanted to sleep or something along those lines."
"Oh," I say, "Sorry I worried you all. I'll be out soon."
"K bye!" Ellie says and I hear her and Tess bickering in the background.
I hang up, how is it already three? I get dressed and go downstairs, I glance at my clock. They were right it is three PM. I get all of my essentials in my pockets and rush outside. I run straight into Tess when I do so. We both fall over. "Man, you are very clumsy Alex." She says.
"Sorry, I can't help it but be clumsy." I say.
"It doesn't matter because I have an idea of what we can all do today!" Tess says very excitedly.
"Ok what is it?" I ask getting up.
"HIDE N' SEEK!" She yells and jumps around.
"Um, ok? Who else is playing?" I ask.
"EVERYONE!" She yells and grabs my arm, "Let's go!"
She drags me all the way to the Town Hall, she's right everyone is there. Well, when we say everyone we only mean the people who live in houses here, not like the shop owners, the mayor, etc.
"OK!" Tess yells.
"Tess has been very excited and yelling ever since we called you." Ellie whispers to me.
"How are we going to figure out who's it?" I ask.
"More importantly do you know how to play Alex?" Ellie asks.
"This is one of my first times playing." I say, "But I can tell what the rules are by the name of the game."
"Ok. Well... NOSE GOES!" She yells and then whispers to me, "Touch your nose."
I do as told, I whip my hand to my nose. I look over as other people touch their nose. "What's nose goes?" Tess asks.
"Tess you're it." Ellie says.
"What! Why?" She asks.
"You were the last to touch your nose!" Ellie says, "Now count to sixty and have us hide."
"Ok." Tess says and groans, "One, two three..."
"Now go hide." Ellie tells me and we both run off in different directions.
I run to the opposite side of town from Tess. I see everyone hide in trees and behind signs, rocks, and houses. I decide to run back to the town hall where Tess is. "Fifty one, fifty two, fifty three..." I run and climb a tree behind the town hall. "READY OR NOT HERE I COME!" Tess yells almost making me fall out of the tree.
I can see her from up here, but she can't see me. I see her run off to the other side of town. I wait, and wait, and WAIT. Finally she comes back with everyone- well except me. "Where's Alex?" She asks.
"I don't know, look where you haven't looked." Ellie says.
Tess groans, "But I've looked everywhere!"
"Well it' not like I know where she is." Ellie says stubbornly. "Just say you give up if you don't know where she is."
Tess groans again, "Fine." She grumbles, "I give up."
"She isn't going to hear you when you're that quiet." Ellie says.
"Yes she is!" I yell and they all look up where I am and see me waving at them.
Tess slaps her hand to her face, "I'm so stupid."
We all laugh. "Well I win!" I say with a smile.
Hope you liked this chappie! I will try to get the next one up very soon! Please review!
