CHAPTER TWELVE

I was just there, waiting for Jeremy and Ray again. My daily routine, and it's pretty tiring, right? Don't worry, you know that it always gets better when the games start or when everybody's here.

By the way, today is Natasha's auntie's birthday! Yes, me and her auntie know each other and we're related. There's some spaghetti in her house, but since none of us are hungry yet, we'll be eating later and Natasha's mom will probably call us when it's snack time.

And finally.. the almighty, Jeremy and Ray is here! Time to call everyone.

Emily: Natasha! Are you gonna play with us?
Natasha: yeah! Jeremy and Ray is there?
Emily: why do you think I called  you?
Natasha: I'm coming! *runs to me* where's Chloe?
Emily: she's inside. Don't worry, she's coming with us.
Natasha: *watching the boys play basketball but her eyes are focused on Ray*
Emily: *dramatic voice* there she is again, looking at her Romeo from the balcony.
Natasha: *slaps Emily in the arm* shut up!
Emily: why? It's true anyway.
Natasha: but isn't Jeremy your so-called JD?
Emily: yes, buuut, he's not a psychopath like him.
Natasha: do you love him?
Emily: love who?
Natasha: love Jeremy?
Emily: uh.. *tries to change the subject* and why are you trying to ask that question? Isn't that a little bit.. "personal"..?
Natasha: whatever, suit yourself, Emily. By the way, it's my aunt's birthday today!
Emily: I know!
Natasha: we're gonna eat later!!
Emily: you love food as much as I do, so don't worry, I'm on you with this one. Except for the fact that I really don't like spaghetti..
Natasha: that's the only food we have!
Emily: I know, and it's fine!
Jeremy: hey!! Call Chloe, we're starting the "games"!
Emily: aight! *calls Chloe*

I called Chloe and we started playing, usual hide and seek. Okay, everyone really likes to take their hiding spots way too far. I'm always up for a challenge though, so bring it on. I'll find you no matter how far you guys will go!
So we started with Ray being it, hopefully I don't lose my luck on this one. So apparently, when Ray started counting, we were all having the same crisis. We are stuck in the middle of one place, thinking of where to go.

Chloe: hey, what are you all doing in there? Hide! *goes to a house with an open door and hides somewhere in there(but further away from us)*
Emily and the others: *goes to the same house*
Jeremy: *closes the door and hides behind the fence*
Emily, Natasha, and Rene: *does the same*
Rene: it sounds pretty dangerous in here..
Jeremy: no it's not!
Rene: it's near from Chloe's house!
Jeremy: don't shout! Ray's gonna find out we're here.
Rene: you know what? I'm going further as well. Don't move, I think Ray's almost finished with his counting. *runs further to the house*
Emily, Jeremy, and Natasha: *stays quiet*
Jeremy: *peeks* okay, Ray's looking for us.
Natasha: *covers her mouth* ... I'll check..
Emily: Natasha! This is not the right time to check. Put your head down and hide!
Natasha: wait, I'll just.. *peeks a little*
Emily and Jeremy: Natasha!!
Natasha: *peeks*
Ray: FOUND YOU, NATASHA!
Natasha: *screams* AAH!
Ray: *chuckles*
Emily: *facepalms*
Ray: *goes a little closer to the gate and fence*
Jeremy: *looks at Emily and makes a facial expression, signaling her that Ray is there*
Emily: *hides herself a little more*
Ray: found ya, Emily!
Emily: I won't pop out yet, that just might be his trick for me to come out..
Ray: hey, didn't you hear me? I said, I found you, Emily!
Emily: okay, he really found me.. *to Jeremy* stay there. *stands up*
Ray: *sees Jeremy* found you, Jeremy! Now, where is Rene and Chloe..?
