Hide and Seek by Ria Singh (a book to read txt) 📖

daggers and glares but I'm determined to find my only friends, I guess the attention on me did pop out a good thing because Alisha and Aveera just popped out of nowhere and engulfed me in a bone crushing hug but I returned the favor, after the hug we see that people are still throwing us glares so we walk to our own spot, away from both schools "oh my chocolate cakes! I'm so happy I became friends otherwise I'd be alone for the whole of camp and that's just..." "Uncool? Depressing? Boring? Heartbr-" "yes yes yes to all of the above" my gosh Alisha sure knows her stuff, I say sarcastically *roll eyes* Chapter 22

we where at the campsite and I had to help set up but before I got to my roomies, I got pulled aside by Adrian and I knew what was coming since everyone never stopped glaring daggers at me from the time I joined Alisha and Aveera "so I've never seen you at any of our games" ok...and I thought he was going to tell me off but I'm mistaken because he wants to chat? "Yea about that..I don't really pay attention to any sports so take no offense, you can mention anyone from our country's sports teams and I won't know who or what they play, or any country for that matter" wow he looks partially shocked "well no matter but you in our school and stanton secondary is our rivals, your rival and as camp leader I order you to stay away from them" he said a bit loudly and when I looked around I see that they surrounded me and glaring my way so instead of back talking to him, I decided to keep my mouth shut, I'm sure Alisha and Aveera are getting a lecture, scolding or ordered too but if they don't lighten up soon, we can just sneak out and meet, I must say though, I have no experience in sneaking.

I'm in the tent pretending to be asleep or trying to but to no avail, why? Well I'll give you a clue, it has to do with two people with me. My gosh, rebecca and lydia have not stopped gossiping and giggling!

I'm wide awake but I can't get up, It is freezing! Rebecca is still sleeping but Lydia was awake before me but she's reading! I know, it shocking to me but then again, lydia and rebecca are not your average perfect bimbo dolls *roll eyes* a piercing whistle sound around the camp, maybe that's our cue to wake up, rebecca sure was shocked awake and shit her shocked expression plus her bed head is hilarious! I couldn't help but laugh out loud and so did lydia, she tried holding it in but when I burst into laughter, so did she, rebecca just looks at us with doe eyes but a smile creeps at the corner of her lips and when she looks into the mirror lydia pulled out, she also looses the fight and burst into fits of giggles.

Turns out there are camp officials but then again we are learning to survive out in the wilderness and we can't do it alone, they purpose in all this I guess is giving us lectures and tasks, well more tasks thank goddess..they got us up so early saying we should never stay in one place too long because our scent plus food and the fire attracts predators or other small animals that will attract predators so we all had to pack up and hike to our next camping place, our first challenge is setting up camp on our own..and let me tell you that was no easy task! You would think its easy to just choose a place but when there are too many people choosing plus rivals always going against each other...you get chaos.

After walking on and on and on, my legs started killing me plus I'm starving! I decided since they all distracted fighting, I can go look for Alisha and Averra! I can't help but grin because one, I'm going to see my friends and two, I'm going against an order which I've never done before! But I can't help but think that it is because an adult didn't order me but a teen but anywho I still feel a little rebellious because of it and its half thrilling and half scary, my heart is beating fast hoping no one catches me sneaking out of my schools crowd and into the other, I took a guess on where they'll be and I was right *happy dance* I think I got a goofy grin on while thinking of mysel dancing because when Alisha and Averra saw me and came running, they stopped half way and gave me weird looks, I gave out an embarrassed face and a sheepish smile and went up to them.

Chapter 23

Averra and Alisha is sharing a tent so what we decided to do was, camp out in the middle of both schools and of cause I chose to not listen to Adrian and we where on our way to get my things, we made sure to come late so no one will see us snooping in and out of camps plus we can't let them see us together or we'll be in trouble, the camp is quiet so I went to my tent on my own so if I made noise and someone came out to check, they'll see just me, I slowly unzipped the tent to see my bags and sleeping bag, thank goddess I set up my bag after getting up, I took my things and tiptoed out so not to wake lydia and rebecca who was fast asleep.

We had to duck and dive when we had reached where we were to camp because some guys from Averra's and Alisha's school were drinking around the fire, I'm quiet sure we were seen but they didn't bother us or were too drunk to care so we set my things and sat around the book of shadows that I brought, we were just going over the book plus the research that Averra and Alisha brought "so what made you interested in witchcraft of all religions Jade?" Alisha asked "well..I always read but one day I just didn't want to read my usual books so I went and explored the library, I saw a girl acting shady and hid a book so I waited till she left and then I took the book out and read and I just got interested but I didn't get far because another person that reminded me of the shady girl came so I left the book back and read my usual books with that book and subject in my mind, what about you two?" I asked both Alisha and Averra "I went through my family history for a project and found out that my family was accused for witchcraft but there were no proof but then people took law into their own hands and stoned the children and burned the rest, few survived, including my great great grandmother who was just a teenager then" said Averra "well for me, I just want to do something to feel close to my mother, she died when I was seven, my father never talks about her but I remember she was a healer of the pac- I mean family and she use to practice witchcraft" "oh my gosh! I'm sorry Alisha" we all hugged than decided to call it a night and went to sleep.

I awoke to rustling to see that I was not at camp! I was tide to a tree and that its still late, I could hardly see and I was scared because I was alone in a forests and helpless to do anything if danger comes, I heard rustling again then I heard growling, my heart was beating so hard and fast that it was the only thing I could think about until I saw the wolf that came out of the bush, I was terrified and I didn't no what to do, I didn't want to do anything in case I encourage it to attack but I had to do something, I looked around, hoping I could see someone to help me, who the hell tied me here? It doesn't seem like something Alisha or Averra would do, oh my gosh! What if they are tied up too? The person who tied me won't just leave? "HELP!!... SOMEONE PL-" I was cut off by a howl and the wolf plus others that I didn't even know were there ran away but that didn't help my anxiety, no...it only made it worse! Why? Well the howl was loud! And the only other wolves I know or think can scare wolves are werewolves, I've never meet one or seen one but Fabian being a vampire, I witnessed and there can't only be vampires so when a gorgeous guy came out of the bush with only three quarter pants, I knew he was a werewolf but instead of being afraid of him, I was fascinated and couldn't get out of his stare, he, a gorgeous guy, was staring at me! Like I was his dream come true...sigh his golden eyes was the last thing I saw before a frantic looking white wolf came barreling into me, oh I'm sorry, werewolf and licked me like it was happy I'm ok.

Chapter 24

I was still tied up so I didn't want to upset the werewolf so that it would think I'm prey instead of friend, the guy probably noticed my frightened eyes and stiff posture so he took mercy on me and chased the wolf away, it was reluctant
