Chapter 54)Dreams

It's my turn to hide and Sophie's turn to seek.

I giggled quietly as I climbed the tree as silently as I could to avoid Sophie, my favorite cousin/bestie (just don't tell Brandon and Rosy), hearing me from her counting place a few feet away.

I'm a whole 4 months older than Sophie and an entire 3 inches taller, so there's no way my mear 7 and a quarter year old bestie can compete with my 7 and a half year old tree climbing skills. She won't even think to look up here for me.

She was almost done counting to 25 when I heard some rustling in the opposite direction.

I looked to see what animal it was, because something smelled a little funny, but she finished counting and all my attention went back to her.

She walked right past me and I covered my mouth to hide my giggles.

She kept looking. Picking things up and checking under them, and around bushes.
