"Ugh! Emma!"
"What? This was not my fault!"
"Then, who did it?"
We do not always fight like this. It still was the end of the summer, and everyone was excited and full of gusto. My friend Maddie, had changed schools last year. I hadn't seen her ever since. She was throwing her birthday party on her patio. We were having a blast, the best fun anyone had ever had since we saw her.
Of course, nobody wanted to stop the laughing and fun. We did not even see the time sli
p away from us, then it all happened. I could hear my mom. She was laughing and talking with Maddie's mom and Emma's mom. I got closer to the sounds. Yep, definitely my mom. Time to go home. I ran to go tell my friends. We talked until we came to a conclusion. We would hide. Worse decision ever. Emma, me and Maddie would wait in the damp small shed in Maddie's backyard, until we were forced to play more. Stupid right? Well, we t
hought different then. When the perfect time came we approached the idea. We all jumped in the shed with a hop and the heavy door closed in on us.
the shed was actually pretty small, for the fact it was jammed with bikes.
It was dark too, with only one peep-hole. We jumped in, a
nd the huge door closed on us, as the sunlight was being cutoff as the door faltered. That was when my 'S.O.S.' partially started. I realized how hot, uncomfortable, and jammed it began to linger.
"Is it just me, or is it hot and dark in here?" I asked in a shaky voice.
" Yeah, your right. Since when?" answered Emma. I could not see her face, but boy, from the sound of her voice she was just as worried as me.
Maddie was completely silent.
We waited for a while before I broke the silence. "OK, you guys. I can't hear anybody, and we could just beg for more time. Right?"
"No, that never will happen, my mom will go take me shopping for new cleat's, talk about boring and unnecessary." stated Emma.
" Si! Si! They will say yes!" said Maddie trying to convince us.
"She's right," I chimed in,"They will want to do something or another after this like always." I said thinking how weird Maddie used 'Si!'
I know you thinking we are crazy, but it is true, we exaggerate.
"Won't they just gab on and on as always about stuff like ' have you tried this?' and ' I went there once, but I think this is better' mocked Maddie.
" True," I simply responded.
"Well," Maddie said " Lets get going! Rapido, rapido!"
That was weird, Maddie never says those things, especially in Spanish.
I started to push. It didn't budge. I thought it was just me, because I do not have any muscle. Nope, zip.
"Hey guys, can you help me?" I asked.
"Yes," they simply responded together.We pushed, nothing happened. We tried again.
"Huff," we all said together. Still nothing.
" Guys, nothing is happening, we're stuck," sighed Maddie, now very agitated.
"How did- why did- ugh!" I yelled very annoyed.
This is where all the commotion began. It started off with every type if blame you can think of ' we are stuck and it is your fault' and 'This is because of you.'
Then the real fighting began. I couldn't even explain the din that carried through out the tiny shed.
"oh... we are doomed, dead!" Emma said exaggerating completely
" Why don't we just knock for help?" I said coming to a rational ending.
"Fine!" They both said in a chorus.
We started banging and screaming for help. We listened. Nobody was there. They all scattered like we told them to.
"Oh man! We told them to hide too!" I reminded them.
We decided to keep calling them in case some one heard us. Nope.
" What were we thinking?" I thought to myself.
" we are stuck in here for life!" exaggerated Emma.
" Where do you get all this nonsense from?" asked Maddie.
" We're gonna die-" said Emma being cutoff from Maddie.
"Hold on a secon-"
"We're gonna die!" said Emma in a choking sound voice, This time cutting off Maddie.
" HOLD UP!" I yelled, so frazzled from the sound I could not think. " Listen," we did.
" footsteps!" Emma said full if glee.
The creaking door squeaked.
Light poured in as the door opened. Thank heaven.
There was a catch, their shadows were bigger, not a peep came from their mouth.
There opened the door three very angry moms.
"We are gonna go," I said trying to sly away.
We all ran for it.
" Hold up," my mom reminded us. We stopped in our tracks, our backs facing them.
My heart skipped a beat, I thought I was dead meat. I was anticipating a' What were you doing I looked all over for you' and ' You could of been in there for a while' and last but not least,'If it was not for me.' There you got it, I was a goner. My heart felt like it was pounding in my ear.
"I surrender!" I yelled. I was waiting for it, but instead I got a simple,
"You are welcome."
There you got it. My S.O.S., I got a lot of learning out of it. One, Moms don't always rat you out. Two, Maddie speaks Spanish.
