CHAPTER SIX:

I finished eating lunch, finished brushing my teeth, and I also just finished taking a quick shower. I am now ready to have fun again as soon as Jeremy and Ray comes here. I was scrolling messages in my phone while combing my hair, and I received a message from Jeremy. He said that he's coming later, and that we're gonna play again.
As for a response, I sent a sticker doing the 👍🏻 gesture. He saw it, and sent a like as well. It's just 2:04PM, so it's still pretty long before they go here(Jeremy and Ray goes here every 3PM or somewhere around 3).

One hour later, Jeremy and Ray is there. I heard the basketball, so it's probably the only sign saying that they're here. They're doing a little quick match, and Chloe took a bath while they're doing that.

LATER...

Jeremy: where's Chloe?
Emily: she's inside the bathroom.
Chloe: *comes out, dressed up and just drying her hair*
Jeremy: c'mon Chloe, we're gonna play!
Chloe: wait, I'll just dry my hair.
Jeremy: alright then. *goes outside playing basketball with Ray and Rene*

When Chloe already combed her hair, she went outside, and we played hide and seek again. But this time, our hiding places are a little out of.. um, I don't know the term? But we were hiding in places so far away, ha! Risking just not to be found, I like that.

We all hid in the an abandoned, white house. Usual Natasha who follows us, stopped right outside the house.

Emily: what?
Natasha: why are you guys hiding in there? Get out, a ghost lives in this house!
Emily: *chuckles* whoever said so? Doesn't mean when this is an abandoned house, a ghost exists or lives here.
Natasha: ....
Jeremy: there's no ghost in here, Natasha! Just hide!
Natasha: *enters the house*
Jeremy: Ray, check if Rene is coming..
Ray: *checks* hm.. *runs back to his spot* he's coming, he's coming!
Emily: *just sits and covers herself with the plants*
Natasha: *does the same*
Jeremy: psst!
Emily: *looks at Jeremy*
Jeremy: get in here, guys! You'll be spotted there!
Emily: *smiles* we're fine here.
Jeremy: you said so.
Rene: ... *looking around* found you, Chloe!
Chloe: *screams* dangit!
Rene: *goes to the house*
Natasha: *peeks a little* *goes outside*
Jeremy, Ray, and Emily: Natasha!
Rene: found you, Natasha!
Natasha: aw man!
Rene: *spots the three* found ya!
Emily: oh well, we're found.
Jeremy: never mind, I'm getting out of here! *runs away with Ray*
Emily: *runs with Jeremy and Ray*
Natasha: hey!! Why are you all leaving me alone here? *runs to the three* WAIT!

The game of hide and seek is the game we play for the longest. Two hours and a half, I guess? Because the other games only lasts one hour, or if we lose the mood or get distracted, only for forty or forty-five minutes.

When Chloe is looking for us, I used my brains. This time, I hid by myself. I hid behind the door of the restroom to the other house. I mean, this place stinks but, it's a good hiding spot! Also, Chloe will not find it obvious because the door to the restroom in here is normally open. She'll think nobody's here! *evil laugh*

As I was quietly hiding all by myself, I heard Jeremy go inside the house. He's breathing and laughing a little at the same time. When I peeked a bit, I saw him facing the CR. Hm, did he spot me?

I looked outside, and Jeremy is looking at me. He chuckled softly as he saw me, and I don't know why, but I chuckled back as a response. I went back inside to my exact hiding spot, and Jeremy went somewhere else. Jeremy's out of hiding spots!
