I held my breath, barley containing my laughter as I glued my eyes to him."Your a very good at hiding,"he smirked."But I'm better." He turned around, his eyes immediately connected with mine. My eyes widened , and when he started to climb the tree, all hell broke lose in my mind. I tried to form a plan in my head to get me out of the situation, but all I could think was aww shit.
