Here we are making a giant circle while Ms.Tunick calmly started reading out loud from the book that she is holding, sharing of a story about a little girl name Jill. She also tell the story about a little boy name Jack who is with Jill while they both are going up the hill doing something. What I mean by something is that they're filling the bucket, that Jack was carrying this whole time, with water, coming right below the water well. While Ms.Tunick is reading out loud to all of us, Mark is sitting right next to me and started whispering something onto my left ear. "I think we're going to have recess after we're done with her reading the rest of the story there. I was thinking maybe you and I should play this one game that one of my brother played with me before" Mark whispered to me. "What kind of game do you or your brother called?" I quietly asked. "We called this game freeze touch. Whoever got touched by someone who is it freeze, but you can be unfreeze when someone, who is not it, touched you" Mark explained. "I'm not good at understanding on this freeze touch thing, but if we go outside together and show me how this game work, I will most likely know how this is going" I said. "Alright, seems good enough" Mark said. I started looking around and I notice that Logan who is so focus on the story that Ms.Tunick is reading. Then I look at Sarah and she was sitting here, with a criss cross applesauce, calmly listening to the story. Blake keeps looking around and he finally noticed me looking at him. He just keep looking at me, representing to me that I have to do or say something to make him change his reaction without leaving him looking at me with a blank face. I cutely looking looking at him while thinking of a way to make him change his look. Awkwardly, I'm making my eyes squinted really hard and repeatedly started blinking at him, causing him to widen his eyes and make his mouth or lip to move really sloppy, showing that he was disgusted by me. I haven't done anything bad or disgusting, even if I was, shouldn't I picked my nose and eat it, which I secretly did that multiple times mostly at home, but not in public? Blake slowly looks away and started looking at Ms.Tunick, minding his own business as he is trying to forget on what he saw when he keeps looking at me. That's what I though, him looking at me with a blank face representing that he is dead serious. Speaking of dead serious, I wonder why he is being serious about me. What did I do to make him feel really bad? Obviously, I wasn't even trying to make him feel more angry or make him feel bad, all I want is to be popular, making everybody around this school to know me as a nicest person, just like Sarah is. Speaking of Sarah, I look at Sarah and I spotted her looking at Blake. Then she started looking at me with a curious look on her face. While she was looking at me, I thought it will be nice if I just wave at her. Sarah wave at me back with a cute smile on her face and then look at Ms.Tunick. Now is there anybody around here who likes to look at me. When I look around, there are nobody who is looking at me, which is a good thing because I don't want everybody here to look at me, meaning that they all are going to have a problem against me. Unfortunately, I'm having this image here on my mind showing me an example of what it looks like when everybody, around this circle, started looking at me, and I have to look at them back without making my eye contact bounce out away from their eye contact whenever they're looking at me. I don't want that to happened to me in the future, hoping to myself that I'm not going to embarrassed myself on something that seems to be embarrassingable, such as moving my body in an awkward position like making my left shoulder go underneath my left knee. Or screaming out loud for no reason or doing something disgusting like farting or picking your nose right in front of the people publicly. Well, I'm not going to do that here unless my body feels the urge to do so. I was thinking that I can do my own business when I'm normally in the bathroom. That way nobody would know what my private business was like, but I was also thinking that this school has a bathroom or not. If not, then this school that I keep thinking about was abnormal, because what kind of school that I'm in doesn't have a bathroom? I'm not just saying, or asking, that I like bathroom, I believe every school suppose to have a bathroom just in case one of us needs it for emergency, whether they need to disgustingly taking a leak or dump. Anyway, forget on what I said there, let's move on by me, and the rest of the people that I know, waiting for Ms.Tunick to finish up reading the story for us. Several minutes later, she finally finished reading the story for us and calmly closed the book. Throughout her reading out loud, I almost forgot to mention that she also shows the picture of what the story would be like while she was reading out loud to us. "That's the end of the story. Next up, you guys are heading outside, to recess" Ms.Tunick said and she use both of her arms to point at the direction to where recess is. All of us shouted and screamed out loud, excited that we're going outside and play. "But wait, before you guys go outside, I got some categories that you can all voted. You see here there are choices that you have to make, three of them. there is reading, art work, and free time" Ms.Kunst said while he is holding three selection boards, showing us these selecting categories that he want us all to pick. We all take a look at it and we have to pick one wisely. "Raise your hand if you want reading" Ms.Tunick said and she raised her hand as an example. I notice Logan, Emily, and Brooklyn raised their hands, voting for reading. "Are you going to read us a story out loud to us or we have to read it by our own?" Brooklyn asked. "It depends whether you want me to or not" Ms.Tunick answered. "I think I can read by my own better" Logan commented. "Anyway, raise your hand if you want to do some art work" Ms.Tunick said adn she raise her hand as an example again. There are five people who raised their hand, which is Grace, Addison, Ella, Alex, and Jacob. "Alright, three for reading, five for artwork. Raise your hand if you want free time" Ms.Bain said adn Ms.Tunick once again raised her hand as an example. Pretty much most of us raised our hands, voting for free time as I quickly join in by raising my hand. "Looks like fre time is a winner. Okay everybody, let's head outside and enjoy this beautiful weather there" Ms.Tuncik said and she point at the direction to where the playgrounds are. Mr.Kunst got up and stand right in front of the window door. Then he move his left hand up. "Everybody hold hands together and make a line" Mr.Kunst said. All of us are running towards him and Blake got the front line first. All of us hold hands together while making a line and Ms.Bain calmly walk towards the door, gently push the door aside to open. Mr.Kunst walked out and the rest of us are following him to the direction to where the playgrounds are. When we made it to the playground, all of us let go and look at Mr.Kunst, waiting for him to allow us to play in the playground. "Why are you guys looking at me? Go ahead and don't hurt yourself" Mr.Kunst said. All of us started running as I started running along with Mark. While I'm running with Mark, Blake and Matthew joined in with us as we're going into the spot where he wants me, probably all of us, to be. We're hanging out on the side of the swingset, where I notice that Sarah started running up towards the swingset that she wanted to ride on. I look at Mark while swinging both of my arms back and forth, letting it clapped each other multiple times. "So, can you show me how this freeze touch works?" I calmly asked. "Sure, who wants to be it?" Mark answered and then he asked towards the other people who wanted to play freeze touch with him. "I'll be it if you don't mind. You freezed" Matthew said as he raised his hand up and already hand tap me on the back of my right shoulder. "Ow, that hurts" I said and I started chasing him. "Richard, you can't move, hold still. If you got touched by the person who is it, you can't move. But if you got touched by the person who is not it, then you're allowed to move a muscle" Mark said and he tap me on the shoulder. "Richard, you can move now, just try and keep away from Matthew" Blake said. "Oh, right, got it" I said and I started running away. While I'm running, I started running right behind the swingset and then I'm heading straight to this dome that Logan is climbing. I made it inside as I look up and notice that Logan is right above me. "Be careful up there Logan. You don't want to hurt yourself just like last time remember?" I asked. "I got this, thank you" Logan said as he slowly crawl to the next spot that he wants to be on. I look around outside as I'm searching for Matthew, preventing myself from getting tagged by him. I spotted him chasing Blake somewhere around the seesaw and Blake quickly runs up onto it, letting the board dropped down heavily as he is doing some stunts, which I believe he is right now. Meanwhile, he started running up to the done that I'm hiding and Matthew spotted me, so I quickly climbed out of the done and avoiding him getting close to me. He is running to my left, so I run in the other direction as I'm heading straight to the seesaw. I thought it will be cool if I started running on top of the seesaw board and let the board drop to the otherside. I keep running away from Matthew as I look back and he is still catching up with. I run to the back of the swingset and dodge the people who is swinging back and forth, avoid getting hit or kick by them. I survived that part as I keep looking around and I finally spotted the monkey bar. I run up to it and jump over from only through this one side. I'm not strong enough to grab each one of the monkey bar and swing my arms around, reaching to the other side. Once I ran to the other side, I saw Blake got inside of the dome and Logan safely got out from there, sweeping both of his hands as it shows that he is done hanging on top of the dome. I also notice that Blake and Mark are inside of the playground dome as I stealthly run towards them, avoid getting spotted by Matthew and I finally made it in there. "Did you guys see Matthew?" I quietly asked. "I think so. Matthew is somewhere in that swingset right over there" Blake answered and he point at the direction to where Matthew is. I look at the direction to where Blake pointed at and Matthew started looking, mostly searching for us. Then Matthew started running to the other direction, running to the seesaw. The seesaw is right near to the dome to where we are. "We need to get out, we need to get out, we need to get out" Mark silently repeats while all of us quietly crawl out from the dome. When we three ot out from there, Matthew goes to the other direction and he spotted us, so we quickly run away from him as Mark is running to the left and me and Blake are running to the right, heading back to the swingset. I look back and Matthew keeps on running, chasing Mark down as he goes to this pathway in which I don't know what that path leads. Mr.Kunst spotted them and he's going after them. "Mark, Matthew, where are you going?" Mr.Kunst asked while he's chasing them. Since me and Blake spotted Mr.Kunst running towards them, which I assume Blake is watching him right now, I thought it will be best if I can walk with him, so I will be able to see where Mark and Matthew are doing out there. I believe they are out there running away as Mark is being hardcore by doing some stunts, which I can imagine in my head that he can smack both of his hands away from him. When I think of that, Matthew's hands are deadly to the game, so whatever he touched can count as a tension that he can feel things. so when Mark smack his hands away from him, it count as him freezing his body, not moving a muscle. I was thinking he won't do that, so I follow Mr.Kunst outside and when I did, Matthew is still chasing Mark down. "Guys, get back inside" Mr.Kunst said. Both of them stop running and started looking at Mr.Kunst. Then Matthew tap Mark on the back. "You can't move Mark, I finally caught you" Matthew said and he runs back to the playground area. Mark can'ts move and Mr.Kunst is waiting for him to come back. "Mark, come back to school" Mr.Kunst said. "I can't move, I need someone, who is not it, tap me so I can unfreeze and freely come back" Mark said. "I got this Mr.Kunst" I said and I run towards Mark. I gently tap Mark on the back and both of us are heading back to recess. "Thank you Richard" Mr.Kunst said. "You're welcome" I cutely replied.
