Hide and seek

As my mum was counting, I climbed on the shelf to hide. Clip, clop, I heard her shoes coming. Hiding under the towels, I felt scared and curled up even more. I quickly turn my head to see what she was doing. She looked under the chair, then in the washer, then she looked up and found me.

 “1234,” I heard my Dad counting slow. I heard footsteps coming closer, while I was lying under the covers of my bed. My arms were flat and my legs were flat too. When I wasn’t looking my Dad sat on me. He felt something moving under him. He stood up. He flicked the covers back. “Found you!” he said.

Running to the flax bush, I hear my brother counting. Then he says, “ready or not, here I come.” Hiding in the flax, I feel my heart beat fast. Standing up, holding the flax, I spy on Otis and my Dad, wondering when they will find me.   I stand as quietly as I can. I listen for the right time to say “Boo,” but they never found me.       By Harry
