Day Away!!! “I HATE YOU!!” yelled Stefan as he ran to his room. “I’M GOING TO RUN AWAY!” he threatened. He slammed his door and then locked it. Stefan was ten years old. He had hazel brown eyes and curly blond hair. He lived with his annoying sister and frustrating parents who treated him like a slave. Suddenly Stefan heard a rock hit the side of the window. “Stefan?” a voice said in a slight whisper. “Stefan? You there?” the voice said again. “Ya, who is it?” he said as he unlocked the window. He pushed it open just as another rock flew at the window, Stefan opened the window too fast and the rock hit him in the head! “OUCH!! What was that for? ” screeched Stefan.

“SORRY! I didn’t know the window was open!! “Ya right, well what are you here for, I can’t play I’m grounded.” “Well,” said Janet as she jumped though the window. “I’m running away! My parents made me clean the dog biscuits up again. My little brother doesn’t have to do anything he was inside watching some crazy show well I’m out there sooping dog poo! It’s not fair!” “Shhhuuuuuuuu! Don’t let my parents know you’re here. I am supposed to be to my room grounded. With NO friends,” Stefan whispered. “If you’re coming with me come on, I want to ask Catherin and Olive if they want to come too,” Janet whispered. Stefan packed up a bag and jumped out of his window. Stefan and Janet ran down the street three houses down and asked if Catherin was home. She was. They told her the plan and she was in. Turns out she needed an adventure! Catherin was 10 years old. She had no siblings and because of it her parents kept her in the house all the time. They did not want to lose her. She ran back inside and made a list. After Catherin was done getting everything from her list they ran over to Olive’s house. When she got everything she needed they ran down through the old Fredrick forest and went down a small edge at the lake. They caught tadpoles, water bugs, small fish and leeches! “This is very fun but don’t you guys think it is getting C. O. L. D” shrieked Catherin. “What does that mean c- o- l -d?” asked Olive. “Are you serious?!” Catherin said in amazement. “Ya,” Olive said in a slight whisper and with embarrassment. “COLD! Duuuu!!” Catherin yelled. “O.K. I’m done! I have to go home I am WAY too cold and annoyed. I didn’t bring a sweater or a jacket,” Catherin squealed. So Catherin ran home and wasn’t grounded because her mother just thought she stayed out late. Then the three remaining friends stayed close together as .When the dark came down. “I wonder if our parents are missing us yet,” whined Stefan.

“Well Stefan, when you run away you shouldn’t miss them you run away because you don’t like them or when you want to get them back for something. I think,” Olive explained angrily. When they heard wolves howl or noises in the bushes they huddled up together until they thought it was safe. In about fifteen minutes Stefan missed his parents and Olive got way too scared of the dark. “DON”T LET THE BOOGIE MAN GET ME!!” Olive screamed. “I DIDN’T DO ANTHING! Well I did run away but nothing else!!” Olive shrieked. So, Olive started crazily begging Janet to go with her. Anyways Janet was getting scared about the boogie man too, so she decided to go. But, then Stefan though he should come to just in case if the boogie man is true. “Uh, it is kind of scary I guess I’ll come,” Stefan said shyly.

It was about twenty minutes until they were done wandering in the dark. Janet found that she was walking on cement so they decided to go up the hill because the lake was down the road from the bottom on the hill. When Stefan got home he was grounded forever! And so were the others. The next day when they talked on the phone they started talking to each other about how they will… 1. NEVER ever, ever go to the lake when it is dark out. 2. Always wear bug spray at the lake. And last but not least , 3. Do not ever under any circumstances ever… RUN AWAY!! The END!!
