Excitement Quote by Jade
“I slowly make my way down the hall and slide into his room. Its eerily dark in there besides the sun that slips through the blinds. I tidied his room up quickly not wanting to be in here longer then needed. I picked up his clothes and made my way out. I threw all the clothes in a trash bag because they didn't have baskets. I checked the time, it was time for lunch. I grabbed some lunch meat and bread for sandwiches and put them on the table. I opened the back door and stepped into the yard. The boys weren't there anymore. I walked further in the yard. Boys! Not a sound beside the wilderness around. There was woods back here and I figured they were in there. I walked over and stepped into the tree line. Guys where are you! I walked for a little while when I started hearing them in the distance. Then all a sudden I heard things zipping past me. Hey Jade! Just like that then gone. They were totally fucking with me. Then another. They zoomed around me making me dizzy.”
