Five Nights At Freddy's

11.

i'm done with testing! i don't think i did too well, but i'm really glad that's over with. next chapter should be night 3. enjoy :)

We arrive at the park with all our food. Mikey's carrying the drinks, while Frank is holding Gerard's order. I help with the chips and salsa, Ray and Gerard carry the rest. "How's this bench? It's in the shade." Mikey suggests. "Yeah, that's perfect! Let's go eat." Frank exclaims. 

We place the bags on the table and start passing each other what we ordered. Gerard and Frank sit on one end of the bench, while I sit next to Mikey and Ray. "Can you pass the-how do you say it again?" Gerard asks. I smile at him, as Mikey passes the beverage. "Horchata. The H is silent, so you just say it with an o sound." Gerard nods and repeats the word a couple times. "Yeah! There you go." Ray states. We all laugh and start eating our food. 

About an hour later, we finished eating. "Alright, how should we do the teams?" Mikey asks, throwing the basketball up in the air and catching it. "It's three against two, so we could do.." Ray trails off. "We can have team captains! They choose who they want on their team." Gerard suggests. "You two should be team captains, since you're the oldest." Mikey stated, pointing at his brother and Ray. 

Gerard shrugged and Ray made his pick first. "Okay, I got Frankie." Ray says. I cough dramatically, getting a chuckle from Mikey. "C'mon over little brother." Gerard chuckled. "What team should Kaleb be on?" Frank asks. "Join us." Gerard whispered, extending an arm towards me. I laughed and walked over to Mikey and Gerard. Now it was Ray's turn to be offended. "I thought we were friends!" Ray exclaimed, stifling his laughter. "I'll continue being your friend after we win." I replied with a giggle.

(i haven't played a real basketball game since the beginning of 2020, so this part might be inaccurate)

"Okay, let's get started! Check it up, K." Mikey said, passing me the ball. "Let's go Frankie." I stated excitedly. Frank ran with the ball, I continued to guard him since he was the closest to my height. "Frank! Right here!" Ray yelled, waving his arms in the air. Frank threw the ball expecting Ray to catch it. Mikey interfered and grabbed the ball, running in the opposite direction. "Here Gee!" Mikey cried, passing the ball. Gerard shot the ball, and it swiveled around the room but fell back out. (all of my shots do this, it's so embarrassing)

Ray got the rebound and ran to the other court and did a layup. Frank high-fived him and smiled. I got the ball back and began running towards the other net. "Mikes, here!" I yelled, passing the ball. He caught it and stumbled, passing it over to Gerard. Gerard hugged the ball as Frank had caught up to him. Frank huddled around Gerard. "K! Help?" Gerard asked, holding the ball over his head. He threw the ball and I caught it. I was about to shoot the ball when Ray began guarding me. I tried finding a way to shoot but Ray had me cornered. I tried shooting but Ray hit the ball out of my hand. Gerard ran after Ray in an attempt to block him. "Ray, I'm open, right here!" Frank yelled. Mikey jumped in front of Frank and got the ball.

Mikey sped back across the court and shot a three pointer. Mikey lept and smiled at me. "Good shot!" I called to him. Gerard patted his brother's head and we continued the game.

About an hour later, we were all tired and thirsty. The score was 22 to 18 (Ray and Frank won), but Mikey, Gerard, and I still celebrated our loss. Frank and Mikey were sitting on the monkey bars, hanging onto them and seeing who would fall first. Gerard was pushing me on the swings, and Ray was also on a swing. "We should do this more often." Ray said, looking around the park. "Yeah, we definitely should. It's nice to hang out, y'know, outside of the studio." Gerard added. I watched Mikey and Frank laughing. I missed the park a lot.

 "Do you guys wanna go on the merry-go-round?" Ray asked. Gerard and I nodded excitedly, making our way over to the piece of old equipment. "Mikey, Frank, c'mere!" I yelled. The boys followed us to to the ride. "Who's gonna push it?" I asked. Gerard raised a hand and the rest of us got on the merry-go-round. "Don't go fast though, Gee. Then we'll all fly away." Ray said, holding on to the handle bars. Frank pouted and stuck his tongue out at Gerard. "Go mild, if you can." Mikey added. 

"Okay, ready?" Gerard asked. "Yeah!" We all stated. Gerard began turning the ride, making us all laugh. It was going slow at first until Frank said, "Pick up the pace!" Ray protested until realizing how fun it was. Gerard hopped on with the rest of us and we worried about falling off. "Whee! See, it's fun to go fast!" Mikey exclaimed. Frank and Gerard smiled at each other. Ray held me close to him and giggled. I pecked his cheek and smiled. 

We waited for it to slow down and made our way to the car. It was getting late. "Can we stop for coffee, Ray?" Frank asked, holding a bag with his leftovers. "Ooh yeah, can we Ray?" Mikey continued. "Another example of you guys being children." Gerard joked. "Mama Ray says yes to coffee." I replied, playfully punching Ray's shoulder. "Alright children, to the car!" Ray exclaimed. We piled into the car cheerfully, this time Gerard sitting in the passenger seat. Frank sat in between Mikey and I. "The usual?" Ray asked us, putting his seatbelt on. "You know it!" Mikey stated, cleaning his glasses.
