Freeze Tag
It was a cold and crisp day in Michigan and waiting for the
bus in a freezing car is not exactly perfect for a Monday morning. The time
went by as slow as molasses. Finally the bus came and we jumped out of the car
and walked up the bus steps and plopped our butts in to a seat. The bus drove
on and my friends and I talked about what we were going to be for Halloween.
The bus pulled up to Berkshire and let some kids off and we drove away but then
our bus driver noticed that THERE WAS A KID SLEEPING ON OUR BUS and we had to
turn around and wake up the kid. After that we drove to the preschool to pick
up kids. When we got then we all ran off the bus and got ready to play freeze
tag. Everyone was frozen but me, Jerry and the tagger, his little sister Maya.
The area smelled like rotten garbage and perfume and the light from inside the
building poured out the clear glass windows.
“GO!” I
yelled and ran off in the other direction.
We began the game and Maya came after me first. I ran around
to the other bus parked there and started screaming at the top of my lungs
“A
LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO GET ME HELP!!!”
“HAHA!” Nick laughed behind us
I sprinted around the bus into a cluster of my friends and
when I ran into the corner Maya tagged me.
“JERRY!
COME A UNTAG ME NOWWWWW!”
“I’m coming!” He said from the other side of the bus.
‘Please Jerry,’ the words spun around in my head like a
Frisbee. All of a sudden Jerry ran up and tagged me and I ran after him to the
other side of the bus.
When I ran up everyone was frozen
but Jerry and I again. Maya came running up to us about to tag us but we both
dodged her hand and ran to get the others untagged. We all ran to the side of
the bus and waited for Maya to come. Maya whipped around the side of the bus
like a bullet and startled us so that I jumped. She ran right at me and I had
nowhere to go so I stood there while everyone behind me ran off and then she
tagged me. The cool air was crawling up my neck like spiders and I noticed that
the grass had a little bit of dew left on it and it was floating up like mist
on a waterfall creeping around the school like a shadow. The orange sun was
lighting up the dull sky.
Even though the cold crisp air was creeping up everyone’s
necks, we all had fun playing our little game in the little lot next to the big
yellow bus in the misty air. Everything was fine on that Monday morning in
October since we didn’t care what was going to happen next.
