Abduction

Aka, one of the most fun days of my life. Seriously. Let me paint you the beginning scenario:

Marial, D, and I are innocently sitting around my kitchen table after volleyball practice, laughing and being ourselves, when all of a sudden, two crazy weirdos with umbrellas jump out of my living room and state in disguised voices, "You're coming with us!" We blink, taking a moment to process the figures clad in black with sunglasses, hats, and bandanas over their faces. Then we burst out laughing. Dad snaps some pictures. Soon our arms are tied behind our backs and we're blindfolded. We're led swiftly through the door and into a car. Well...not swiftly. When you're blindfolded, you tend to stumble more...anyway... If this is what abduction is like, I'll gladly be kidnapped by them any day!

Throughout the whole car ride, we three chat like crazy, probably annoying our captors who still refuse to talk. We design the car we're riding in, wonder where we're going, and soon we've figured out that our captors are two seniors {my favorite two!} from our school. Marial had an uncanny nose that can sniff out anyone. We're still laughing and grinning behind the bandanas when 30 minutes later they pull the car to a stop and lead us out. I didn't have my shoes on, so they tried to get me to wear flats, but I couldn't walk in those so they gave up. They led us over concrete, not too carefully {poor D has a cut on her leg from when she didn't hear them say "step"}, and eventually the blindfold slipped and I saw a huge building and parking lot.

"You guys, I have no idea where we are!" I exclaimed. Then...they got in trouble with mall security and had to untie us. We were at the mall. We met up with all the girls from the ninth grade and senior class inside, then went to a different mall. We talked a bit about how long they had planned this and I eventually found some shoes, but they didn't tell us anything about the rest of the day. Arg. How frustrating. We got to the other mall and they told us we were going on a scavenger hunt. YEA! We got into teams with lists and bags and set out on an adventure.

Can you imagine groups of high school girls running rampid in the mall, unsupervised? Yeah. That was us. It was CRAZY!!!! {I usually don't like going to malls, but we weren't shopping}. My group finished the scavenger hunt and met up with the others, who had also finished everything on the list. Piling back into our cars, we went to one of their houses and hung out, playing a game or two and eating all their food. They had this dip stuff for carrots and chips called "veggie wedgie" and it was SOOO GOOODDDD! I think they had to add the sour cream to it, though. One senior had gummy worms and all the ones she didn't want were given to me. Yum!! Forgetting about swimming, we talked and played an M&M getting-to-know-you type of game, then glanced at the clock and got dressed for dinner.

They were going to take us to Cheesecake factory!!! Ahhhh!!! We were really happy and excited, but then we got there...and they told us an hour or hour-and-a-half wait. Psh! Scratch that! We went to TGI Friday's instead. I had a Chicken Caesar salad and some other stuff from my neighbors...you know....extra fries that would deteriorate and go to waste if someone didn't eat them. Then we called our parents and had them pick us up. It was SOOO MUCH FUN! I love our seniors! Our seniors are AWESOME! I can't even express their awesomeness. They're so much fun to just be around, you know? I hope we're crazy like that when we're seniors.

It's a tradition now. Every class that gets kidnapped has to kidnap someone else. *evil grin* So when I'm a senior, all those li'l fishies better watch their tails!! The sharks will devour them!...then take them on a surprise day of fun. :D Oh my goodness....yesterday was so awesome. It was completely insane. I love our class, I love the seniors, and I love veggie wedgie dip. G'night, everybody, and watch out for ninjas with umbrellas! {They couldn't find their toy guns. :D}
