Adventures of Four

A 13th birthday full of hostages, swearing sailors, and missing dogtags.

A few months have gone by at this point. It is now sometime in April and Cucumber is having his 13th birthday party at his house. I had arrived and was extremely glad to see my friends there. I went over mad joined them. When suddenly at one point, something startled me and I backed up... Into Four. It kinda went down like this:

Me: *backs up* oh! Sorry I-..*turns around and looks up (because I'm a short potatoe only at 5'2"and he's like 5'9") to find Four and inch or two away from me* oh uuhh....
Four: *has a confused smile*
Me: *in my head* HOLY FUDGE NUGETS!!!! *what I actually said* bsisnwlirhsiwhwheh!??!? *runs away in embarrassment*

Yah, so that's how my life's going. Anywho, the rest of the night basically went like this. We play freeze tag (it's a big thing for us) and I fall/slide down a hill and he asks if I'm ok, using my nickname. I used sarcasm to respond. I guess it's kinda become a thing to use sarcasm to respond.... Hmm. Anywho, like any normal person, he disappeared into the woods. The first time. No one can find him. Well, no one but me. I sit up in the yard staring at him sitting in a tree staring at me staring at him. Yah, so, he gets hungry and decides to come up and get some crawfish. I tell him how everyone's looking for him. And I asked him why he was sitting in the tree. Even though I had a slight understanding why. He replied by telling me how he saw me staring at him staring at me, (I can't believe he actually admitted to it!) and he was in the tree to get away from people. Content with a fair enough answer, we walk away and go back to our own lives. Later on, I'm yet again watching him, a group of my friends go down and sit on a log near the tree Four's perched in. And they're talking, about anime or something like it I believe. I get lonely, so I head down. And later according to Whipped Cream (get over it. It's another one of my friends. But this time I just like the nickname) states that I "abandoned her and Jelly Bean and completely broke the law?" Dunno. Anywho, I go down and sit with them for a bit. Flipping a water bottle before it was cool. Walking on logs and stuff. I assume that they know Four is there listening in the tree. But I guess I was wrong, because when he jumped down they all had heart attacks and I'm laughing my head off. He simply says "You guys swear worse than sailors" and walks back up to the house. They "yell" at me for not telling them that he was there and then we leave as well. Well, actually, they moved and I went to get a drink. But on my way up, I meet none other that Whipped Cream. She asks me where I was and is mad at me for "abandoning" her. I tell her I was down in the woods with Pecahes, Srg. Pomegranate, and Peanut Butter. Oh, and Four. So she gets this GREAT idea to start teasing me by saying "oooh. Were you two kissing?" And even though I told her no, she ran to Cucumber and told him that we were. If you know what shipping is, these two were, and still are, the biggest  shippers of Four and I. They even gave use a ship name. So, naturally, Cucumber squeals like a girl and shouts it at the top of his lungs. I wouldn't have been as mad if there weren't LOTS OF PARENTS STANDING NOT 30 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE HE WAS. I tried asking nicely, but I ended up having to run off with Mango (we legit just went to the front yard). Four ends up shooting Cucumber with a nerf gun he brought along (you may ask, does this kid go anywhere without a nerf gun?! Yes, but he's never without a pocket knife). Time passes and the sun's starting to set. Whipped Creams apologized for starting that god awful rumor because she didn't think I'd be affected by it that badly. So I'm goofing around with Whipped Cream and Jelly Bean when I fake take Jelly Bean hostage. I immediately let her go though. Then WC(Whipped cream) decides to get this idea (yay. Yet another stupid idea that ends badly) to take me hostage and drag me up to latter to the tree house. And, instead of helping me, (because, of course, why would he help me?!) Cucumber decides to help her by holding an electric nerf gun TO MY HEAD. And boi, let me tell you something, THOSE THINGS FREAKING HURT! Im shouting and shouting for SOMEONE to freaking help me. M n' M comes, but she isn't going to be able to do much alone against 7-8 people with nerf guns. (WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?!). I finally break free and escape with the help of Mango.
*later after dark*
Four's gone missing. Again, but this time people are actual worried. I'm not worried to much. So, they decide to send out a "search party" to find him. They have flashlights and are running throughout the woods screaming his name. As if he's going to respond to that. He's a quiet guy and if doesn't want to be found, he's not going to be found.  And I respect that. So, Mango and I head out trying to find him for the fun of it. Just because we could. I have a general understanding where Four is when Cucumber who is leading a huge group of about 10 kids approaches me. I flat out lie to him saying " we already searched this half. He's not over here." And send them in the other direction. (Of course, I'll later be questioned about this by Four at school). So, I think to myself, if I'm Four, how would I communicate? Now, he's a boy scout so I decided to try this. I told Mango to whistle about 4 notes then become as silent as possible. So she did, and long behold, he answered with 4 notes! We finally found him and he asked us for a a flashlight. He had dropped his dog tags, so I lent him my phone's flashlight. He found them, thanked us, and ran off screaming "HEY! HE'S OVER HERE!" And eventually had about 15-20 kids chasing him. I just sighed and headed back to the campfire shaking my head with a smile on my face. What a night it had been for me.

*The next day at school*
I was talking to Peaches and Jelly Bean about the party and mentioned me becoming a hostage. When this happened.....

Four: Wait, you were taken hostage?
Me: YEA!! Didn't you hear me screaming my head off for help?!!?
Four: *laughing* oh, no. Oops
Me: *glares daggers at him*

*later that day as school is letting out*

Me:  bye guys!! And Four, I still can't believe you didn't hear me. *leaves school*
Four: *to Jelly Bean* actually, I did hear her. I was on my way up from the woods when she freed herself.
Jellybean:................ *tells me the next day at school*
Me: FSKDNUWDISHSBDI?!?!?!?!??
