Hey are ready to fight the boys? Tiff, “you know it, don’t let them take base!” {Angel Scouts leader} A team made up of mainly girls and two boys. Ryan and Bo.

Kaysi, you keep them distracted.” Wink; an I will lead the girls to their base. Got it boss; they wont know what hit them!

Recess was always the same tone chase the boys and tag them with cooties an gain points till bell rings. Loud kids screaming chasing each other. Others guarding base.

For us, base was the monkey bars. For the boys it was the big slides. There was more of them then us.

Side note: Cootie: A child is said to "catch" cooties through any form of bodily contact, proximity, or touching of an "infected" person or from a person of the opposite gender of normally the same age. Tag got you Josh. Point for the girls. How about you Clayton! {Leader of the Evil soldiers} The boys only group. Circle circle dot dot now I got my cootie shot! What is that? Sorry now I can’t be infected by cooties.

Dang what do we do? The boys have a weapon now. Danielle never fear I have a weapon of my own! What?! A Super cootie: a smooch from a girl on the cheek! He-he that's so crazy it might just work. Go for it! Target locked.

SMOOCH straight shot on the cheek. Wha ha ah... Oh man, “Men I am going down. Wiping his face. Now I got to burn my face!” LOL B.J you don’t have to be so dramatic. Looks like we just won the base! Guess this is a win for us Clayton.

“Jawl dropped”, Good counter I did not predicted that who ideas was that? Tiff, “Kaysi’s ideas”. She should take over leadership. Tiff why not! Wait what I can’t that's your job. You lead us to a lot of victories an we have you as our secret weapon. An you are really pretty and have the long hair like that one anime girl. Oh you mean meatball head lol. Yep that one.

Did she really need to say that I thought. RING....Well we will pick this up tomorrow. But not everything plays out the same way your use to.

The next day the boys has a new recruit Evan. He had dark black hair and quite but he looked like some you didn’t want to mess with. The jean jacket on his back made him look like a outsider or loner.

So I know this was Clayton’s doing! As If you don’t have more people then us but that's okay we will still smoke you.

We have our secret weapon! New rule you can only use that twice! What, fine you can’t give your self the shot and once your hit your freeze till someone gets you out. Fair ,”Now let’s go!”

Tiff, “Do you think Clayton is a little to proud?” Most definitively! I think its the new guy! I can’t agree more. He’s got something up his sleeve.

Looking at Clayton he has a big smile on his face this can not be good. Thought the whole period it was a battle back and forth. Frozen all over the play ground. No one left to help Clayton and the newbie was all that is left. That newbie was fast.

My girls was good but he just got the last two out. Next was me I had to pull out the secret weapon but at this point I am a sitting duck. Hiding behind the largest slide He was just standing there no care did he think he got us all. He was new maybe he didn’t know everyone. Or maybe he was looking for me!

Thud Thud I was running out of time Him Vs. Me that is it we win or lose! I jumped out as his back was turned. I spun around him as he was spinning around fast landing my smooch on... His lips! OMG what do I do.

He’s standing there wide eyed. His eyes locked to mine. Both of us frozen almost in another universe. I feel my face hot what is this I never felt this before. My Heart is racing. I am Freaking out... Hide.... Move.... Scream.... Do something self. Do something kid react!

I ran I ran OMG why didn’t he react! RINNNG.... Thank God saved by the bell.

I will tell everyone that’s why I ran. The next day I figured I was going to have to explain myself but I don’t believe anyone seen it. An the newbie didn’t bring it up so didn’t say nothing. Days went by an we played like that for a while but our time was limited together.

One day stuck out better than any. It was October still quite warm outside and the teachers called the kids in because it began to snow. This snow was gray and smeared in your hand when touched instead of melt?

I has been suffering from a ear infection that year and couldn’t hear that Ms. Trubble calling. I was off looking for Indian beads. When I looked up there was no one there.

I went looking for a way into the school trying every day I could. I began to have issues breathing the world was spinning and going dark.

When I came to I was in the hospital. I had Double Pneumonia between being sick already and running I thought it just did me in.

Come to found out that the wear gray snow was volcanic ash. Mount Saint Helen erupted and collapsed sending tons of ash that traveled a crossed the U.S.

It got very boring in there I was in there for a long time. One day my teacher Brought some Cards my class mates gave me. Evan was in my class.

I like his most of all it had a magazine clipping of a fish in a bowl of water. It said sorry you feel like a fish out of water. I guess that was a joke about me no breathing lol. I held on to that forever and we was closer than ever.

As a kid I was not strong and got sick a lot and took care of me even when I cried. My favorite moment was when we went ice on field trip.

I only skated for a bit and started getting a headache I was running fever.

When we got back my mother had to pick me up from school because they thought I was going to get sick.

I felt so tired looking over Evan was on the bench next to me. I asked him if I could use his shoulder to hold up on.

Yeah he said. Moments later I had slid on his lap and I swore I could felt him stroking my hair but I was so weak I didn’t ask it felt good. His grandma took us home cause my mom had car trouble that was the last I seen him,
