Days have passed, nights have passed as well, and I started to age, like any human being on this planet. Now I am still a kid, but the season is now spring, late spring, where the calm and the good feeling of hot is touching us. And on such a great day, it is good to play some outdoors games with your dear friends, which is a thing I've done in this late spring with my friends, playing hide and seek on night.
Now, some will say hide and seek is a great game to play during the day, but when you are playing it on the night, it is one of the scariest experiences a kid can have playing this game. Well in my case we can say it was scary because on this game, like not many others, the players who were found would join the one who is seeking the hiders, and help him beat the last person who is caught. But a beating who could result in a missing tooth, a nosebleed and even an injured eye.
A normal game of hide and seek made by kids who were in middle school, and were friends with us when we were going on football field to play football.
Playing this game, would require to have a huge playground, so that is why we were playing that game near an abandoned warehouse that was used by someone who was having some weird plant growing business in there, but the place got shut down because of authorities as one of the friends we were playing there told me and my friends, Alexander and Amadeus.
Before we were about to play the game, all eleven of us, had to chose who is going to be the one to seek us. But to my surprise, a huge kid, the fat type, decided to cover his eyes, and count to fifty. While the fat person was counting, all of us have looked around stressed and run to some good hiding spots.
Some of us have taken good hiding spots, like hiding in a bush, on the abandoned warehouse, in an abandoned house (one with only one room, who was at about fifty meters from us) or in a tree. But me, Alex and Amadeus have hidden in a few barrels near the warehouse.
It wasn't such a good hiding spot, because we were found first. When we got found, we had to join the fat person to search the other kids who were hiding around here.
It took a while, but we've found everyone in a matter of minutes, and the last person we found he got beaten by the kids, besides us, Alex and Amadeus. We were scared to join the fighting, even though the kids from middle school assured us this was nothing.
The next round, was on me, because I was the first one to be found. And I was on my own to find the other ten kids who were hiding.
Like a good kid, I was closing my eyes, turning around, putting my head on the tree and start counting to twenty because I was still a kid that day and I couldn't count to fifty. Hard to imagine that I was almost five years old and I was playing hide and seek on the night with a bunch of middle school who were going through puberty at that time. A normal period of time when you'll found a girl attractive and you discover a second function of your wiener.
When I counted to twenty, I start to look around for the kids who were hiding. A hard task for me.
But at the end of the second round, I did find three kids, while the seven managed to come to the tree I was counting, touch it and yell "Spitting" (a Romanian slang for saying "base" when you play hide and seek). The three kids were the fat one and my two best friends, Alex and Amadeus.
The third round, was much more intense because instead of the three people I've found, a kid, who was called chicken by a friend of his, has decided to be the one who will count and search for us. We all run to the warehouse, and hide in there, on every space we could found.
Me, Alex and Amadeus have hidden under an abandoned shelf for the entire game. We've hidden so good in there, the one who was searching for us, did not find us there. It was also the part that this kid sucks as a person who is supposed to find the ones who were hiding because he only found three people.
The fourth round, we've still hidden there, but we were together with the fat kid from earlier who was searching for us people who were hiding.
"Good hiding spot." says the fat kid to us, who is hiding near me.
We all four are on the lying position with our face pointed to the other shelf, where other people are hiding. I only saw three kids there, meaning the other two are hiding either on the interior of the warehouse, or outside of this abandoned building. We remained in there for a lot longer than last round, because something unexpected has happened.
"Hey! Who's over there?" yells a manly voice entering the abandoned building with a flashlight.
"Shit." says the fat kid, who is running from the hiding spot with difficulty.
All of us have managed to get out of the hiding spots, saw a glimpse of the man who is entering the warehouse, and we all on the entire warehouse, searching for any exit on this building. We followed the shadow figures of the other middle school kids, who were going through the opened backdoor. We all managed to go through the door and we've run toward our houses like we tomorrow would be our last day on our planet.
Thankfully, I've managed to arrive at my house, but when I got there, my parents did punish me, but not in that peaceful way. My father took his belt and use it on my poor butt. And my mother, did not say anything, she stood in silence and looked disappointed in me. A thing that made me feel bad for going this late on the night and playing games. But the beating I received from my father, it won't make me forget that easily since this was my first ass whopping I received in my life.
