****
**Do they know I’d be jumping rock? Had my life come to an end because I picked rock!? I panted staring the man dead in the eyes, praying.**

Hide And Seek
“Eight, nine, ten. I’m gonna find you!” I shout out and carefully look around from the center of the park where I’ve been counting against a tree while my friends were hiding.
