Big Bad Wolfie

Chapter 55: 54 - Dreams

It's my turn to hide and Sophie's turn to seek.

I giggled quietly as I climbed the tree as silently as I could to avoid Sophie, my favorite cousin/bestie (just don't tell Brandon and Rosy), hearing me from her counting place a few feet away.

I'm a whole 4 months older than Sophie and an entire 3 inches taller, so there's no way my mear 7 and a quarter year old bestie can compete with my 7 and a half year old tree climbing skills. She won't even think to look up here for me.

She was almost done counting to 25 when I heard some rustling in the opposite direction.

I looked to see what animal it was, because something smelled a little funny, but she finished counting and all my attention went back to her.

She walked right past me and I covered my mouth to hide my giggles.

She kept looking. Picking things up and checking under them, and around bushes.

When she looked utterly confused, I laughed and called down to her, "Do you give up?!"

She turned to me startled, then a smile grew on her face, "There you are!"

I laughed loudly as I clumsily climbed down the tree. "I win!"

"Yeah, yeah," She waved me off, "but I'm about to find the best hiding spot ever. You'll never find me." She grinned cockily.

I smiled back and covered my eyes. "One!"

I heard her run off.

Twenty four seconds passed. . .

"Twenty five!" I finished counting. "Ready or not! Here I come!"

A few minutes passed.

"Wow!" I yelled to her in no particular direction, "this really is a good hiding spot," I laughed.

A few more passed.

"Can I have a hint?" I asked her.

I got nothing in return.

"Alright" I giggled, "that's just gonna make it even cooler when I find you."

A lot more passed.

I started getting uneasy but pushed it away. She did say she came up with the best hiding spot.

. . . But how did she make it so I couldn't smell her. . ?

An hour passed.

Wow! She's so good at this! It's only taken this long for one of us to find each other once, and it was when I kept switching hiding spots to get away from her.

That must be what she's doing.

An hour and a half. . .

"Okay Sophie," I laughed.

I can't believe she hid this good.

"I give up, you win."

Nothing.
