"Let me out!" I yelled in a plea. We were in the middle of cops and robbers. And here I was stuck in the jail (otherwise known as the huge play equipment with only three way to get up. The rock climb wall, stairs and the slide) Sadly every way was guarded. I stared at kids. The robbers, tried to go after the big rock we pretended was a diamond that was on the other equipment area. I felt bad for the cops, having to chase after the robbers. I saw Jenny Handle, who rudely threw me into the cops so she wouldn't be caught, aka why I'm here. "Jeremy," I whispered to one of the guards. He glanced at me. "I will give you a piece of gum if you let me go," I bribed.
"I can't take bribes young lady," He dismissed.
"I'm older than you Jeremy," I deadpanned.
"Only by a month. Now shush," He said. I rolled my eyes and crossed my legs. I started to pick at my shoe laces. I knew no one would come to save me. Unless one of our fastest runners (two kids named Jack Johnson and my crush Shawn) was captured. They all want the diamond. I watched my friend Kalli bundled with some kids by a picnic table coming up with a plan. Sure some kids didn't play this game. But most did. And this was serious play. That's when the last of hope I had of leaving Jeremy's fortress sparked.
My crush.
Shawn Peter Raul Mendes (yes he told me his middle name).
He is in my class, has been since kindergarten. He cut my hair before and I have accidentally glued his shirt to a table. We have had some fun times. But since third grade started we hadn't talked or played as much. But we still had some times.
I saw him. He climbed the rock climb wall. Jeremy was guarding that side. He would catch him! I got up and started jumping.
"Jeeeeeerrrrreeeeemmmmmyyyyy!" I shouted. He turned towards me.
"Y/N can you shut up," He said.
"Jeremy so mean!"
"We are in 3rd grade get over it." I started to argue with him. Finally Shawn got up. He ran up behind him and pushed him to the side. Jeremy yelled out.
"Come on Y/N!" Shawn said. He grabbed my hand and we ran. We dove into the slide. I was laughing about Jeremy. As we got halfway down the swirly slide I noticed guards at the bottom.
"Shawn guards," I said. I stopped and so did he. Though his weight was on me. I held onto the side of the slide. "I got an idea," I said. I glanced at Shawn. He noticed what my idea was and nodded. I swung my legs over the side and jumped. Suddenly I was flying. Then I hit the woodchips. I rolled like a ninja once I hit the ground. Thank goodness I am wearing shorts. I got up and ran for dear life. I pumped my arms and darted for the robbers safe zone. The cops were right behind us. Shawn reached the spot. But I was still running. Jeremy was right behind me and catching up more and more as I lost speed. I went as fast as I could though. And reached it before he could. Jeremy stomped his foot angryily. The kids in the robbery safe spot cheered. I glanced at Shawn.
"How will I ever repay you?" I asked laughing.
"Hmmm. I don't know," Shawn said. I kissed his cheek. He blushed.
"Did that work," I said.
"A little more like this," He then kissed me on the lips. My eyes widened. It lasted like three seconds. We broke apart.
