Chapter 53
In the girls room, Kate & Beth quickly got their clothes on so they
could spend more time on their make-up. "We better hurry, we only have
three minutes left," Kate said. "Oh gosh!" Beth said as she dumped
all the make-up out of their bag. "Beth, I don't think we need that
much make-up." "Fine. I'll just put cover-up on. For now, anyway,"
Beth said. After they both put their make-up on, they had a minute
left. They put their hair up in barrettes so it would be out of their
faces. They both went out of the room and ran quietly down the stairs
to meet Taylor and Zac in the hallway. "Gosh, you guys are almost two
minutes late," Zac said looking at his watch. "It wasn't easy to get
ready in that short of time," Beth said. "Come on. We're going to go
to the park down the street, because they had a big hill there," said
Taylor. (A.N. I know almost all of these stories have a park down the
street, but if you think about it there usually always is. At least
around here, there is.) They went towards the front door and Taylor
unbolted the lock. They quietly went outside without anyone waking up.
"Hey, guys, this time I brought my key in case we accidentally get
locked out," Taylor said as he showed his key to everyone. "Good
thinking," Zac said. "How come we didn't know there was a park around
here?" kate asked. "I don't know. We don't go there that often. so I
guess it wasn't worth mentioning," Taylor answered. "Oh," Kate
replied. After 5-10 minutes of walking they reached the park. "Let's
go to the top of the hill," Zac said as he pointed to a big hill.
"Ok," Beth agreed. They all climbed up the hill, then sat at the top.
The sun started rising. "Oh, that is so pretty!" squealed Beth. "It
is. I wish I could see it every morning," kate said. "Do you know what
time you'd have to get up every morning?!" Zac asked. "I was joking.
I could never get up that early. I think 9:00 in the morning is
early!" "Oh my," Zac exclaimed. "Zac what time is it?" Beth asked.
"It's a little past 7 o'clock." "Mom's usually up by 8, so we probably
should be getting home now," Taylor advised. "Yeah, we probably
should," agreed Beth. "I have an idea," said Zac. "Let's have a race
to see who can get to the bottom of the hill first, rolling." "Ok
good idea," Taylor said. Everybody laiddown to et ready to roll down
the hill. "On your mark! Go!" Zac yelled as he started rolling down
the hill. The other 3 started rolling down the hill. Then the others
were at the bottom. "Hey, you didn't say get set!" Beth yelled at Zac.
"So I wanted to win for once." "Oh you're do impossible!" Beth yelled
at him. "I know." "Ok guys let's move! We have to get home before
anybody wakes up," Taylor said to them all.
