The Stash

Nichole and I were thinking of what ways we could escape from school, this had been our goal to do since the beginning of the year. We have never had enough guts to actually do it, but today was the day. I said we could either just run out the front gate, which was wide open, or dig a hole under the fence at the end of the field. We went with the hole. Jenna and Gwenn came to see what we were up to, we told them our plan and ther were all for it. After we got done digging the hole that we could have easily crawled under and escaped, none of us could bring ourselves to do it, we just sat there telling everyone but ourselves to go first. While we were sitting there we saw our recess monitor, who we call "the witch", coming towards us, so we quickly started ripping grass and pine cones to cover our hole. The witch came up to us and asked what were we all up to. The quickest idea that popped into my mind was, "Oh we are just playing squirrels." She totally bought and left us alone.

So we were all still sitting there, not on the side of the fence where we wanted to be, and Gwenn mentioned we could turn our hole into a "stash" to put food in and come eat it at recess. This was the best idea we had ever heard, also it was so rebellious, exactly what we were going for. We were planning everything out and gwenn decided she would bring a peice of extra carpet they were using to finish their basement, and lay accross our hole, so the food won't get dirty. The rest of us just decided to bring some good snacks and drinks, but in plastic baggies of course. So the next day we all came to school a little early to stash or goodies, so we could eat at recess, but we had to be extra sneaky so "the witch" wouldn't see us. We brought sour gummies, cookies, kool aid's, the colored, mini marshmellows, and chips, all the good stuff. I could't wait to go to recess, and neither could everyone else! The bell rang and we ran to what we now named it, "the stash" we ate all the yummy snacks, laughed, and all of us agreed this was the best, sneaky idea anyone could ever have! The bell rang and we covered our hole with grass and pine cones. While we were running back to class, all I could think about was getting back to "the stash" next recess!
