Personal Narrative: The Five Year Olds

Great Essays
We were all incredibly bored and we were just sitting around not knowing what to do. Finally, being the five year olds we are, my friends and I decided to play “extreme” hide and seek together.

I was confused that they were looking for us in there because I knew we all said no hiding in the house. All of a sudden, I heard Nicole, April and Alie yelling at us. “Come out now guys, the game is over, this isn’t funny anymore!!” “I hear them calling for us,” I whispered, “Do you think they’re faking?” “I dunno Liz, it sounds like it” Rachel replied. “Maybe we should go an find em now.” I told Rachel. “Let’s just wait a little while longer.” She
