My favorite mistake.

Ding , Dong , RUN!

One sunny day, I had just got done with a softball game. All the girls were together talking about our errors. Someone decided to have a sleepover that night ,everybody was super excited. a parent volunteered to have it at her house (which is Natalie's parents). She lives in a huge two story house in West-gate. That house is a mansion in my eyes. All the girls said yes that sounds like a great idea. We all went home showered and took off. i was the first to arrive, then after me everybody showed up. there was a total of 15 girls. We were hanging out watching T.V bored out of our mind and someone decided to have an idea of going ding , dong ditching. We all begged my mom to let us go and she said yes and just to be careful. So here we have 15 girls walking down the streets in dark clothes. Yeah, just a little suspicious.

It was about 8:30 P.M and we decided to go knock on a house with a truck and a BMW parked outside. I told everybody

“once they run back, run like the wind! We don't want to get caught.”

Angelique calming telling her sister “Stay with me I do not want to lose you”.

Two of the fastest girls went to go knock and the rest of us stayed and hide in bushes. They knocked and then hysterically were laughing and running.

After they had knocked I said “Did you guys hear someone yelling?”.

“No you are just hearing stuff” , Hannah said.

About 10 minutes after looking for another house we seen that same truck that had been parked in front of the house driving with the window down like if he was looking for someone. The truck was old and rusty. The man stopped and started yelling his lungs out at us. We all looked at each other and everybody had fear in their eyes. We ended up splitting up and we were trying to get away from the man, I managed to stay with 3 girls. I hid under a car. The man seen my friends hiding , he got out and started yelling again.I remember seeing the man, he was tall Caucasian and he had tattoos running down his arm. he kinda looked like Ozzy Osbourne.I was so frightened I  thought he was going to kidnap us. This is my biggest phobia, I got out of the area and found my way back.  I was crying and shaking. I ran inside the house and told my mother

“ MOM! There is a man trying to take us!”

“What!?” , My mother said.

I repeated myself. I told her where to find the girls.

“Call 911 and stay upstairs!” my mother stated.

The cops came and had pick up the girls. They found the truck and the driver.

“We interrogated the man and he is the neighborhood watch. He said he was just trying to spoke you guys.” the officer stated.

“That was not just a scare he put my daughters safety in jeopardy!” my mother said.

“He did not make any crimes so therefore we can not charge him with anything.” said the officer.

The officer left and we all just started crying and where very shocked about what had just happened. What i have learned from this experience was to think twice about things because anything can happen at anytime.
