Chapter 15 - Hide-N-Seek

Mike's POV:
I realized that Will was quiet the whole time when El and I told them that we are going out. Does he like her or something? I hope not. That would be bad, like, really bad. I'll talk to him later about it.

"Did you see Will get quiet all of a sudden?" El comes up to me and asks the exact same question that I was asking myself.

"Yeah, I was just about to talk to him about it." I tell her and she shrugs.

"I think I should talk to him." El replies. Would it be better if she talked to him? I should just let her.

"Yeah, you should talk to him." I give in and she nods.

"How about you say that you have something wrong with your bike so I can't ride with you, Then I ask Will if I can ride on his bike instead." She says in one breath.

"Yeah, let's do that." I reply and she smiles.

"You guys, want to go now or go to the park?" El yells to everybody.

"Park!" Lucas and Dustin yell at the same time.

"Park it is!" I yell.

"Okay let's go." El winks at me signaling that we have to go along with the plan.

"Uh, El, I don't you can ride with me, something is wrong with the pegs on my bike." I try to say normally, convincing everybody.

"Oh, okay, well, uh, Will, can I ride with you?" El says. El is a good actress, she did sound convincing. Will's head shoots up and looks at El and then to me then to El again.

"Yeah, I guess so." He replies. El walks over to him and gets on the back of his bike. She sits down and wraps her arms around his waist. That got me feeling a little mad. No! I can't get jealous! I take a deep breath and we all start to ride to the park.

I don't know why, but part of me didn't want El to get on the bike with him. I shouldn't be jealous, nothing is going to happen. I look to my side and I can see El and Will laughing at something.

They aren't supposed to be laughing. She is supposed to talk to him about the problem. Well it's not a problem but... I don't know!

I can't believe it. I'm having a mental fight with myself. I'm crazy. I'm talking to myself. Ughh, never mind. Shut up! I yell at myself. I really need help. I brush away my thoughts and just relax.

We are on smooth road now so it won't be so bumpy while riding bikes. The park is now like two minutes away. So El can talk to Will there.

We finally got to the park. We all got off our bikes and let them drop to the grass. The snow melted so everything is dry, it's sunny out too. It doesn't even feel like Christmas without snow. Well, this is depressing.

"Will, want to go on the swings?" I can hear El ask Will, he nods and they walk to the swings.

I walk by Dustin, Max, and Lucas. They are on the merry go round. Well, Lucas and Max are on it while Dustin is spinning it.

"Faster, Dustin!" Max yells and starts to laugh. Dustin does as she says but when he spins faster, Lucas flies off of it. I start to laugh along with Max and Dustin. Lucas is just laying there groaning out of pain, but then he starts to laugh with us.

"You will pay, Dusty!" Lucas gets up and starts chasing him. Dustin starts to scream like a little girl. He trips over a ball and face plants on three other rubber balls.

"Revenge!!" Lucas throws up both of his arms and screams "Revenge!" We all start to laugh and Dustin gets up and tackles Lucas.

"Aaahhhh!" Dustin screams when Lucas throws him off of himself. Lucas is stronger than I thought, he threw Dustin. Max runs and jumps on Dustin.

"Hey! Not fair! Two against one!" Dustin yells at the top of his lungs.

"Need help, Dusty?!" I yell and he just groans after being tackled by both Max and Lucas. I took that as a yes and ran over to them. I grab Lucas and throw him over my shoulder. Did I mention that I am a lot stronger than I look. No? Well, I am.

I wrap him around my neck and start to spin.

"Mike!" Lucas screams. I just continue to laugh at him being scared for his life.

I throw him on the grass and he lunges toward me. Before he can pick me up I start run as fast as I can. I wasn't watching where I was going and I ended up tackling Dustin again. He just got up too. Everyone dog-piled on him and he pretended to die. He let out a last breath and stuck his tongue out of his mouth.

We all start I laugh and get off of him. Lucas gives him a hand and he takes it.

"That was..."

"Fun?" I cut Max off.

"Interesting." She says and Lucas picks her up. She screams and we all laugh again. We have been laughing a lot, Dustin and I huddled over in laughter and gripping our stomachs from how much it hurts while laughing.

Dustin starts to cry from laughing so much. I do the same and we fall over still laughing. It wasn't even funny yet we kept laughing.

"I-I can't b-breath." I say in between laughing. This is the life. I say to myself. Laughing and having fun with my friends, no. This is my family.

"Who wants to play Hide-n-Seek?!" I ask and they all cheer. I took that as a yes and I started counting. We are a bunch of little kids, but it's fun.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not here I come!" I yell. I turn around and immediately look under a slide. There's Dustin.

"Dang it!" He yells out of frustration from always losing when playing this game.

"Sorry, Chocolate Pudding, but you lose." He nods and rolls his eyes.

"I see you, Max!" I say and she jumps off of the top of the monkey bars.

"How did I you see me?" She asks and I look at her and give an 'are you serious' look.

"I can hear you laughing up there." She shrugs and I found Lucas right off. He was lying down in a slide.

"Your turn to count, Dustin." Max tells him. He nods and goes to count while we hide.

Go back and count how many times I say 'laughing' lmao. Thank you for reading, please vote and comment! Stay tuned for the next chapter...
