I bounded down the road chasing my friends. We were playing tag and of course I was 'it' once again. I was younger than all of them but that didn't stop me from trying to tag them.

"Come on Evan! Don't use the stupid tree as a shield!" I yelled at him as he moved around the tree to avoid me.

He suddenly took off in a random direction and I knew I couldn't catch him. I looked around spotting Brian not too far from me, giggling in a bush. I ran towards him and quickly tagged him.

"You're 'it'!" I squealed gleefully before running off.

I knew way too well that I would be tagged quickly if I didn't hide, being two years younger than them. I scrambled up the tree but almost fell seeing Tyler's face right in front of my own. He covered my mouth to hide my surprised yells and put a finger up to his mouth. I nodded my head and he removed his hand. We both looked down to see Brian chasing Brock around. I sighed and let out a breath, I laid a hand on my chest to feel my heart still beating furiously.

"Tired?" Tyler whispered to me.

I nodded my head and smiled. "Totally worth it though."

He chuckled a bit but stopped when we heard David scream and Brian say you're 'it'. David started chasing Brian immediately and I heard the leaves around me rustle. I looked up to find Tyler climbing higher.

"Where are you going?" I asked him quietly.

He didn't respond but instead smiled and reached out his hand towards me. I took his large hand which gripped my smaller one and he helped pull me up higher. We eventually reached the top of the tree and we poked our heads out from the trees. I was shocked to see the sun cast beautiful rays around us from behind the clouds.

"You know, I like you Jon." Tyler told me.

I looked over at him to see him looking down, I smiled. "I like you too Tyler!"

He giggled a little bit. "You don't understand yet Jonny. One day you will and I'll be waiting."

I looked at Tyler with a confused face but he just started climbing down the tree. When his feet touched the ground he ran off. I slowly started climbing down too, trying to be as careful and sneaky as possible. When my feet touched the ground I felt a hand touch my back. I turned around to see Tyler with a smirk on his face, "You're 'it'!" He laughs and starts running off.

"Hey come back here!" I shouted after him before chasing him while giggling.
