Sid went back to his game
Kelly picked up Roddy's
manga and took it up to his bunk to read. So they were both chicken. But I knew the person who would sneak up the hill with me . One other person who hates mystery as much as I do.....
That night, I didnt get undressed. I climh

nbed
I tucked a flashlight beside me. I didn't want
to forget it.
Sid and Kelly fell asleep quickly. I listened to
the hissing sound outside the Window. And I kept
checking the time on my watch.
I guess I fell asleep for an hour or so. WhenI
checked my wateh again, t was a few minutes
before midnight. Time for action.
I grabbed the flashlight and slid down silently
to the floor. I crept out of the cabin and closed
the sereen door gently behind me.
It was a cool, breezy night. I saw a pale half-
moon hanging low in the sky. The hissing sound
rose and fell. Over and over.
I erept away from the row of cabins. Then I
turned and started walking over the tall grass
to the hill.
I was wearing flip-flops, and I could feel the
cold, wet dew on my feet. A gust of wind made
me shiver. I wished I had worn a sweatshirt and
jeans instead of a flimsy T-shirt and shorts.
Something scampered across my feet. Probably
a chipmunk or a field mouse. I clicked on the
flashlight. Too late to see what it was.
I held the light down close to the grass. It
made a tiny circle in front of me. I hoped no one
was awake to see it.
The grass grew taler at the foot of the hill.
Cold, wet blades brushed my knees. Grass curled
around my ankles like snakes.
I gasped when I heard a sharp rattling sound.
Close by.
I jumped back.
It took me a few seconds to remember it was
Heather's bracelet. She jumped out of the dark-
ness. "Boo!"
"Not funny," I whispered. "And you didn't
Scare me."
"Maybe a little?" she asked.
I shook my head. "No way."
"Diggety doughnut," she said. She pointed her
flashlight beam up the steep hill. "Are we really
going up there?"

"You volunteered," I said, shivering. "You said

"Stop it!" I said, jumping away.

leather laughed. "Boone rhymes
baboon." She poked me again.
"Ow. Be serious," I said. "I mean it."
Why did I ask her to come with me? I must
have been out in the sun too long. My brain was
fried or something!
The hissing cut out suddenly. The silence was scary.
We leaned into the wind and started to climb . My flashlight beam darted around my feat .
The ground became soft and wet . My flip-flops
squished as we climbed .
At top of building top against purple sky .
The hissing begin again . so enclose , the sound rang in my ears and made my teeth hurt !
