Me: I have been thinking about creating a YouTube channel.

Friend: Then why don't you?

Me: I mean if I were to create one, it would most likely fail.

Friend: So..? We all start somewhere and have failures, surely if you put effort into your content it'll turn out fine.

Me: So I should just go for it?

Friend: Yes! Go for it!

Me: Nah, I don't think so.

Friend: Well you will never know unless you give it a try.

Me: True.

*after friend leaves*

Me: I think I will actually.

*creates YouTube channel*

Me: Well crap, this is actually happening.

Gaming

Out of all the things out there in the world to do, one thing this group of friends are caught doing would have to be gaming in Carlos' gaming room or basement. And when they are not gaming together in those two places, they all Skype each other in one big group call and play against each other on Xbox or have one big match against each other through Splatoon on the Wii U, but now on the Switch.

Gaming would have to be one of their favorite hobbies. Some of the best memories they had with each other, would have to of been when they were sitting around the screen and hollering in victory or defeat. Even when things went chaotic to the point they stayed mad at each other for an​ entire week, they always managed to make up and go back to being dorks. Because let's face it, they can't go long without each other.

But aside from that, back to the gaming thing.

It was around nine o'clock pm on Friday the 23rd, 2017. With nothing to really do, they've decided to get together at Carlos'. Mainly, seeing as to how his parents were out on a date and being the only child, they could get as rowdy as they wanted.

"HOOOONNNNNEEEYY I'M HOOOOOOOMMMMEEE!!!!!" Lyric and Luke, the only remaining members to have yet to arrive, exclaimed as they entered the Orozco's home.

"IN THE BASEMENT IDIOTS!!!" Carter yelled.

The two headed to the location yelled at them, but making sure to lock the door before doing so.

"Who's ready to party!" Lucas exclaimed as they emerged in the basement.

They wasted no time in grabbing a controller and starting on the first round of Smash Bros. Unfortunately for Hailey she had to sit that round out, due to there being only eight spots and them having an extra person. But she was more than willing to sit out and cheer on Lyric and Diana. The match soon escalated as one by one they lost, leaving only two remaining players.

"COME ON AUSTIN, BEAT HIS ASS!!!" Hector and Carter exclaimed. They really needed him to win this battle, since they made a bet with Carlos and Diana that he'd win. Forty dollars were on the line here.

"AVENGE MY DEATH LUCAS!!!" Lyric roared, "SHOW HIM NO MERCY!!" She really wanted him to avenge her defeat, mostly because Austin had targeted her specifically throughout the entire match. Which ended up with being the second to lose.

"There's no room for softness... not in Sparta. No place for weakness. Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard and the strong." Carlos started to quote.

"There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories! Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned. Every Greek historian, and every scribe shall have their eyes pulled out, and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Sparta, or Leonidas, will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!" Austin followed.

"SPARTANS! Prepare for battle! For tonight, WE DINE IN HELL!" Lucas boomed.

Lyric, Diana, and Carlos raised up their remotes all while letting out a battle cry.

"THIS IS SPARTA!" All four hollered.

Manny, Carter, and Hailey just sat there in amusement.

"Well.. we've got nothing." The rivalry team admitted.

"LUCAS!! LUCAS!! LUCAS!! LUCAS!!" Carlos and Diana chanted as soon as they saw the blonde get the upper hand.

Manny, Carter, and Hailey just sat there awaiting a winner to emerge. And sure enough, a few minutes later, the announcer said, "The winner is Roy!" Indicating that Lucas had won.

"Nooooo!!" Two distraught friends groaned.

"YES!!" Diana and Carlos high-five each other before turning to H and C, "Pay up suckers!"

The rest of the Smash Bros matches continued at an accelerating pace. With unexpected defeats and wins popping up. Games ranging from Mario Kart to COD (Call of Duty), the group were having a blast. But before calling it quits they decided to end the night with Just Dance.

Ever since the first Just Dance, the group would buy the new releases. So they had all of the Just Dance games. But for this specific night, they've decided to duke it out on Just Dance 2017. Seeing as to how they've barely played that one. They all held a high record in some songs of the different games, but no-one had the biggest winning streak than Lucas. Luke is basically the king of Just Dance among them all, but one determined contestant was willing to take the title for herself.

That person being none other than Diana. Even though Luke has had the most victories in the group, Diana is right behind him. So close, but so far away (Can you hear me 😂. 5SOS fam, where ya at?!). She was definitely ready to take the crown from the blonde.

As the last song, 'Cake By The Ocean' had ended, Diana declared a match against Luke.

"Are you certain Diana," Hailey gave her friend a worried look. "He hasn't been beaten for over a year now."

"Don't mean to brag, but it's actually been two years since I've last been defeated." Luke corrected.

"I'm certain, I'm not the next runner up for nothing."

"Well don't go complaining when you lose." Luke said as they got into position.

Carlos and Austin scrolled through the song list, and finally agreed on 'La Bicicleta'.

The song started and the two dancers began to mimic the on-screen character to the song. Both earning high points from their accuracies. As the song progressed to the end, Diana had let go of her Wii U remote and sent it flying straight at Luke's face.

"OW!!" The blonde had fallen to the ground upon impact.

"MY GOD I'M SO, SO, SO SORRY!!" The red head exclaimed, kneeling down next to the poor boy. "I totally forgot that my controller didn't have a wrist strap to it."

"Sure you did," Lucas replied as Lyric took a look at his face.

"Carlos, go get me some ice for his face." Lyric ordered.

"Roger that!" Footsteps then ran up the small set of stairs and into the main floor.

"The good news is that Luke here, still won by a thread." Hector said.

"I swear!" Diana had wailed, "it was an accident!"

"BS! You knew you would have lost, so you decided to bash my face with the controller!" The upset male huffed. "I call foul play."

"Shut it blondie!" Lyric shoved the ice Carlos got her into his face, "you're exaggerating again, besides you still freaking won. So chill!"

"Watch the face! It's my best feature!"

"Well if that's your best feature, then I feel sorry for your future girlfriend." Manny fired.

Switching to iPhone

So I currently have an LG G 4 phone. And ever since three days ago, it decided to stop working. I would turn in it on and after a few minutes, turn off and on again. But it would be stuck on the logo screen. Keep in mind this is the second time it has happened to not work.

The first time was a couple months back.

And to not start a long ass rant, I am done with LG G products. Maybe even Android in general.

So I am now going to give iPhone a try. And I think I will be content with switching because of how well the iPhone 7 has worked for my sister.

Goodbye Android and hello iPhone!

Vegas Shooting

First things first, I want to say that my heart and prayers to anyone who was affected by the shooting. For all of the victim's families. I can't even begin to express how much sorry I am.

I'll never understand what goes through a person's mind or soul when they do this kind of thing. I feel as if the world is slowly, but surely falling apart. Being filled with hatred instead of love. Horrible truly. The devil must truly be inside a person for them to have the guts to do such evil things like this.

Again, my heart is with you Last Vegas. God is with us every step of the way to find the healing we need after this devastating event. It's at this time once more, that we have to stand together and help our people. It doesn't matter where we all come from, our race, religion, etc. What matters is that we all come together as human beings and lend a hand. Lean on each other for support and strength. For we are one, and no matter what, we will overcome this devastation.

God is with us, holding our hands and guiding us. Again, my heart is with you Last Vegas. Stay strong. For we're all with you, lending our support in ways we can.

Much love! ♥

Luke's Little Sister

Okay, so the best thing in my life just happened ten minutes ago.

The gang and I were all hanging out at Luke's place, playing 'finish the lyrics' and Uno. It was when I we decided to head to the nearest park to film a random video for Manny's Twitch. So we all cleaned the area we were using, because it would be rude of us not to.

We all were ready when Luke said he has to take his little sister, Olivia with us. We of course understand that, she is only 5 years old. She couldn't be left alone in the house. So Hailey and I decided to call her down by singing the first verse of Olivia by One Direction. Though Luke still yelled her name. Soon enough she came down the stairs but stopped midway, "yeah."

"We're going to the park so go put on your shoes and come downstairs." Luke responded. Olivia of course decided to be complicated and denied the offer. Or in this case demand. Luke was frustrated by her telling him no each time he asked her to. So I guess he was at the final straw when he said, "You better hurry and come down here! Or so help me, I will go up there myself and drag you down here if I have to!"

And that's when the best thing happened. She literally stood on her tipi toes and sang/shouted, "NOBODY CAN DRAG ME DOWN!! NOBODY, NOBODY!!"

With the exception of Luke, we all laughed at this. BEST THING EVER! Mainly because I was thinking the same thing the instant he said 'drag you down'. He of course didn't find it funny at all, but we clearly thought otherwise. In the end everything worked out fine. Olivia came down with shoes on, and we eventually got to the park and made a video.

This had to of been the best thing to happen so far. Gotta love that cutie.

Though Luke thinks that she's spending way too much time with Hailey and I. But what can I say, we are great people to be around.

Song Lyric Pranking Austin

What to do, what to do...?

We all know those remarkable days we have, when you get so bored out of your mind that you think you'll go nuts? Yeah, well that's​ the situation I'm in at the moment. I've been here on the couch pondering what I could do. But nothing worthy has come to mind.

I mean, I could go to my sister's and my shared room where she's currently at. But she's no fun, not one bit. A party pooper at that. My brother... Nah! He is too busy playing on his Switch 24/7, to even spare me a glance. My siblings suck! Besides, getting to them requires much needed energy, it requires me to get off the couch and walk to them. Something I'm not about to do, I'm too lazy to get up. But enough about them, I've already tried watching TV, but after surfing every possible channel out there. Nothing catches my interest.

Picky, I know.

And the sad part of it all, is that it's barely 2 in the afternoon. Someone might as well kill me! I could call up a friend to do something, but the majority of them are like either working - and get off late - or they're busy with their lives. Wait a minute! There's some wrong with that sentence! Rereading the sentence, I soon noticed the mistake. I saw the problem instantly. 'Lives'? These morons, as much as myself, don't have a freaking life. At all! Okay, so I take back the part about them having lives to be busy with, they're probably taking naps.

About twenty minutes of sitting on the couch while munching on chips, I get the greatest idea ever.

"Of course! Why didn't I think of this sooner!" I grabbed my phone out from my pocket.

"Shut the fuck up, Gabby!!" Both of my siblings roared from the two different rooms they were in.

I shrunk down into my seat. "Sorry," I whispered. "But not sorry."

Regaining my confidence to open the messages app, I instantly search for Austin's contact. "Ah-ha!! Found you, my soon to be victim!"

"GABBY!! SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO TAKE A NAP/TALK TO MY FRIENDS HERE!!!" The two cranky siblings boomed for another time.

"Then close the shucking doors or something, you shanks!!!" I had the tendency to use vocab from The Maze Runner at times. I'm such a loser in so many levels! But I embrace it fully!

"I WILL!!" Seriously!? What are these two, are they like capable of reading each other's minds or something? Whatever the case might've been, two doors slammed shut just right after. And if I had to guess, my sister might've put ear plugs in while my brother turned the volume up to it's full potential in there.

Okay, ignore them. They're just a bunch of meanies anyways. Concentrate. Focus on the task at hand.

After giving myself a much needed pep talk, I start to think of a song I could use on him. One he didn't really know the lyrics to.

Gabby: I'm tired of everything I called mine. I'm sick of trying to find a word that works.

A few minutes later my phone dinged, indicating that the brunette has responded.

Skittles Boy: Wait?

Skittles Boy: What's wrong?

Skittles Boy: Is everything okay?

I can tell I had already worried him, and it's only the beginning. I apologise man, but at the same time, not really. Cruel. I know that already, but this is payback for that time pranking me back in my sophomore year.

Gabby: And I'm so sick of watching the minutes pass by as I go nowhere.

Skittles Boy: Okay Lyric, you're really worrying me right now. You can talk to me, you know that right?

Skittles Boy: I mean what other reason would you have to message me? It's rare for you to do so.

It's true. I rarely go to him for things, only times I do is during emergencies. Emergencies that I couldn't afford to tell anyone to help me with. He's like my anchor during rough situations. Love him for that, but ya know, I need to be entertained at the moment. And his responses are just doing the trick.

Gabby: I got a ticket to another world.

Gabby: Some day I'm sure we'll pass each other by.

Skittles Boy: OH MY GOD GABBY!!!

Skittles Boy: Don't tell me... Oh god!

Skittles Boy: Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it!

"He's literally freaking out." My sister's voice called from behind me.

"GAH!!!" I jumped in my spot on the couch, my phone flying from my hands. Splat! My phone had made contact with the edge of the side table and onto the floor. "Where the hell did you come from!?"

"I've been here for like a few minutes to read the last few messages between the two of you," she shrugged as she handed me my phone.

Luckily my phone has a really good case that protects it from getting a cracked screen. Along with a screen protector. Otherwise I would have been more worried about my handheld device.

"Well you can't just come in here and snoop through my messages!" I pulled my phone to my chest. "Some older sister you are."

"Whatever." She sat herself on the opposite couch, "and I think you might want to respond to those texts, your phone is going crazy."

I only rolled my eyes at her before glancing at my screen. 37 new texts in less than ten minutes! My eyes must of widen in shock, because my sister then asked me, "what does it say?"

"I believe that Austin, Manny, and Lucas are on their way here." I slumped into my seat once more.

Veronica, only groaned. "I'm so glad, that I'm leaving at the moment. Please don't make a mess, I really don't want to face mom's wrath."

In that instant I realized she was dressed up. "Don't worry, if we do, I'll make them clean up." I leaned over, "and where's lover boy taking you to, on this fine day?"

"Eh, just out to eat and then maybe to watch a movie."

"Fun, fun,", I bobbed my head. "But don't have too much fun."

She was about to reply when she got a message indicating lover boy is outside. "I'm leaving, and remember what I said." She grabbed her purse and left.

Seconds later, my brother comes out dressed up as well. "Heading out for a COD tournament with the guys. I'll be back before ten!"

"Now wait one minute mister!" I sat up, "come here."

"What!?" He came into the living room and he seemed rather in a hurry. I swear this guy and his gaming. "As I'm the oldest one left in the house.. and you, the younger one, will have to inform me of your whereabouts."

"What is this.. an interrogation?"

"Yes!" I stood up from my seat and glanced up at my brother. He may be younger, but sadly he's taller. "So I would appreciate the names of those who you will be with, their numbers in case of emergencies, and the location you will be at."

"Fuck off!" He proceeded to exit the front door.

Oh no you don't! Using some strength on my toes, I leapt from my standing point and managed to successfully get on his back. "You won't be leaving until you tell me everything I demanded!"

With a good struggle and a couple of curse words, he finally gave in. Although it was forced, I had to admit, for being smaller and weaker than him, I put up a good fight. "There! You're so damn annoying!"

"But you know, you love me!!!" I yelled out to him as he left my line of vision. Without much to do until these idiots arrived, I decided to take a shower. After a short shower, jamming to All Time Low, and getting into some comfy clothes, I decided to head back to the couch.

"Ah yes," closing my eyelids shut, I snuggle into the pillows. "Might as we-"

"LYRIC!!!"

"AAAAHHHH!!!!"

Three males jumped on me. Crushing me underneath and blocking​ oxygen to my lungs. They instantly unattached themselves and began to make sure I was okay. That I hadn't done anything. It took much convincing that there was no fatal injury on me. Love them, but they can exaggerate.

"For the tenth time, I'm fine!"

"Then what's the meaning of the texts you sent me!?" Austin shoved his phone into my face. "You have some explaining to do!"

"Yeah!" Lucas and Manny interrupted, "because of this, we had to forfeit the Pokemon gym we were about to claim as ours!"

I roll my eyes. "It was a lyric prank. Those lines were from songs you dorks."

A chorus of 'ohs' erupted.

"Now if you don't mind, I'm going back to my nap."

The three looked at each other in a way that I hadn't ever seen them do.

"Hurry!" Manny picked me up and set me on his lap. Restraining my movements.

"How many did you take!?"

It all made sense now, they thought I had taken pills.

"None!"

"Looks like the hard way fellas."

And the next few minutes consisted of me running away from them and calling Hailey to back me up that those were indeed lyrics

*Girls Talk Boys by 5SOS plays in background*

Friend: I really love this song so far.

Me: You haven't heard it before?

Friend: Nope, not until now that is.

Me: But you do know who it's by, right?

Friend: Yeah, 5SOS. But question real quick.

Me: Sure, what is it?

Friend: Why 'girls stalk boys'?

Me: *facepalms* You dummy, it's 'girls talk boys,' not 'stalk'.

Friend: Ooooohhh! Makes more sense now.

Me: Don't worry, I thought the same thing when I first heard it. And I'm sure we're not the only ones who thought it said 'stalk' instead of 'talk'.

Hide-and-Seek In the Woods

We all know that there are ups and downs in heading out for a camping trip. Despite all the negative aspects of being out in the outdoors I tend to focus more on all the positive things. I just love being surrounded by the millions of trees and animals. Especially when there are very little to no human interaction.

We had decided to sleep over at Carter's place in order to make getting on the road tomorrow early morning much simpler. Especially since one of guys that drove us to our destination wasn't too keen on picking up everyone at their respective homes. Something along the lines of, "I don't want to get up at a indecent hour," and "having to find space for every single one of your guy's crap along, is not something I wanna do." He's not a morning person, which I can totally relate to. Since I myself, can be cranky in the early hours. Hence how someone lost an eyebrow for interrupting my sleep - that's a story for another time.

Let me tell you that the day of the trip, wasn't spectacular like I had hoped it'd be. Everyone woke up two hours later than we all had initially planned. Thanks to Austin, who didn't set an alarm the night before. Which caused all of us to scramble to our feet and get dressed. And it also caused a battle for the shower and just the bathroom in general.

Well there went to a great start to the trip.

What made it worse, was that we still needed to pack everything into the two cars. Man, the arguments that arose, I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Oh wait it was.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

"I told you, we should've packed everything into the damn vehicles yesterday!" I remembered Hector angrily shout as he carried some of our stuff out. The raven haired male had officially lost his shit by this time. There's really no telling when he would cool down.

"Did someone say 'yesterday'!?" Out of nowhere one of my favorite people in this group came out from around the corner into the living room. "And now it's just yesterday's song, yesterday's song! The soundtrack, every night in my bed! The woo-ooh gettin' stuck in my head! Now you're just a nickel when feeling is gone! Baby, now you're just yesterday's song, yesterday's song!

"That was not your cue Hailey," Hector frustratedly replied to the brunette.

I shook my head and patted the girl on her shoulder before exiting with a handful of things to take to the van. Outside, the rest of the guys were trying to shove things into the Forde Escape and Chevy Malibu. I wish I had the money to buy myself a car as new as these. Sadly, I'm a poor individual.

"...well I for one think it would be best if we shove it in the back of the Escape." From the looks of it, the boys have taken sides and are now arguing over who knows what.

"What are you morons arguing over now?"

"Good timing Lyric!" Carlos sprang from his spot and came to guide me to his side. "Tell these idiots that it is best to place the food in the Malibu instead of the Escape."

The others were quickly to counter him. I had offered to look at the space left in each car and then depending on my evaluation, I would choose. I started with the Malibu, seeing as to how it's smaller, it would take less time to inspect. It seemed rather cramped in there, best option was to take a look at the Escape. The Escape on the other hand seemed to still have enough room for the food and a couple of other things we would be taking with us.

"Soooo....?" Carlos came and wrapped his arms around my shoulder.

"Well by looking at the space each had, the best option is the...." I paused for a dramatic effect. Carlos, Lucas, and Manny had their eyes shut and fingers crossed. Hector, Austin, and Carter had a confident smirk on their faces with arms crossed. "Sorry, but I have to side with Hector and them this time."

The winning side cheered, while the losing team dropped to their knees all while yelling, 'no'.

Rolling my eyes, I had them finish packing and what not to retrieve the girls. They can be dramatic a lot of the times, but whatever. After we had all grabbed what we needed, we headed out to meet up with the boys. Reassuring that everything is secure and we're ready to head out, four of our members shouted, "shotgun!!" Sadly, me being one of the four - Carlos, Lucas, and Austin being the others. I had started with sprinting to the Malibu seeing as it was the vehicle closest to me. I saw Lucas heading for it as well. I started to go faster and slid across the car's hood. Jumping onto the blonde's back as he ran past.

"Get off me!" He tried to pry me off him, but no avail.

"Never! Give up the passenger seat and I'll take it into consideration!"

"Never in your wildest dreams!"

Then in the distance all I heard was, "please.. don't," and then a, "too bad" before you could hear Hailey and Diana singing to One Direction's Best Song Ever.

Let's just say that I ended up with the seat I was going for. And a unhappy Lucas in the back of the Malibu. With Hailey and Carlos joining him. Manny of course was driving the vehicle. And on the Escape we had Hector as the driver and Austin as the passenger. Diana and Carter in the back. We had followed the others as we left.

By the time we had arrived at a gas station, it was around 2 pm. Man, we lost a great amount of time trying to get everything together.

〰〰〰〰〰〰

We haven't been here for a day and the guys have become quite bored, should I say. And the next thing I know, everyone is gathered at the picnic table. "Here ye, here ye!" Manny rose from his seat, "let this four day activity planning commence!" He had slammed a toy gravel onto the table for effect.

"Loser," Carlos coughed into his fist. Manny turned and glared at the male, but said nothing and continued.

"Now who's turn is it to plan today's activity." He looked around the table, but we all knew whose turn it was.

"Oooo~ me!" Carter enthusiastically said.

Manny had refused to acknowledge him, instead he tossed his toy gravel from one hand to another.

Carter sighed loudly, "what I meant was.. it's my turn your honor."

"That's better," he grunted. "Have you chosen an activity?"

"I have," he rubbed his hands excitedly. The rest of us, with the exception of Manny, glanced at each other. Knowing him, this plan of his was either a good idea, or a very bad, bad idea.

"Well let's hear it."

"We are..." He had paused probably to rise the tension. "PLAYING HIDE-AND-SEEK!!!" He burst out excitedly. He then held his hand up for a high-five. He didn't​ get one.

"What do you mean hide-and-seek?" I demanded.

"NO SPEAKING OUT OF TURN!!" Manny roared, as he pounded his gravel onto the table repeatedly, to try and silence everyone, "Mr. Graham, please proceed."

"I mean, there's practically nothing else to do, considering how late it is-" that part is not a lie. It's practically dark out and yeah, but seriously?! "- I was also thinking it would be a challenge, since it'll make looking for the hiders harder to find. And if the seeker manages to locate a person, they could help him/her locate the others."

"Oh thank God for that suggestion, I was starting to think that the seeker would have to be it and once he found someone, the new 'it' would have to be alone as well," Carlos had placed a hand onto his chest in pure relief.

"ORDER IN THE COURT!!!" Manny had slammed his gravel onto the table a bit more aggressively.

"It's completely dark out, that's when the animals come out to play," Diana groaned. "I don't want to become food for whatever is roaming out there at this hour."

"DIANA RAQUEL HERNÁNDEZ!! DO I NEED TO HAVE YOU REMOVED!!?" Manny boomed.

"Removed?" Diana snorted, "by who exactly?"

"Weeellllll," Manny glanced around warily, as his anger simmered down to pure irritation. "Me, I guess?"

"Don't worry guys," Carter interrupted. "It's going to be a lot of fun, just meet here after you've gathered your equipment. You only need like a flashlight or lantern."

After a long final minute of the gathering, we were dismissed. I had gone back to Diana's, Hailey's, and my tent to grab a flashlight with the two. Then heading back to the table. I for one am not too enthusiastic about this. Someway, somehow, I know this is going to turn upside down. It's going down for the worst.

"Just for the record," Diana began as she handed her flashlight to Hailey, and tied her hair in a high pigtail. "If I somehow end up as animal food, the two of you-" pointing to Manny and Carter, "- are not welcome to my funeral."

The two rolled their eyes.

"Chill, there's no way that's happening," Carter exclaimed. "The worst that can happen is someone​ ends up missing, in other words lost, or with a broken ankle or something."

With that said, Carlos volunteered to be seeker for the first round as soon as we made it into the woods. Almost instantly when he turned and started counting, we all bolted out of there and split up to find a place to hide. I didn't make it to my spot behind a bush without tripping and at some point face planting onto the ground.

What a great way to start.

"Okay Lyric, you got this." I turned off my flashlight as I had begun talking to myself. A very bad habit of mine. God the times I was caught saying something to myself that was meant to be kept a secret.

Who knows how long has passed, but probably about half an hour later, Carlos, Hailey, and Austin managed to find me. I was glad they hadn't been able to find Lucas. That blondie will get a a huge scare out of this. We initially managed to find Lucas and Diana hiding in the same location.

"I so wanna get a scare out of Luke."

"Are you sure?" Hailey nervously asked, "Diana is bound to get frightened as well."

"Positive," I rubbed my hands mischievously. "Sacrifices must be made in every war."

"What?" The three confusingly looked at me, "I am sure that doesn't-"

"Sssshhhh," I placed my index finger on Austin's lip. "Let me have my moment."

After discussing the plan to them, we made​ our move. At first it was ruffling the bushes that were around them. Followed by "accidentally" hitting the tree barks. And simultaneously both things. I then proceeded to walk up to the blonde from behind, careful not to attract their attention. Once I was a couple of feet away, enough to jump onto his back, I carried out the final phase.

I jumped onto his back and screamed 'boo'.

Two girly screams echoed through the area. But it didn't go as planned. I had forgotten that Lucas had gone through karate lessons and gotten his green belt. So he had then flipped me over him and slammed me to the ground.

"Uuuuuuggghh," I groaned out in pain. A chorus of laughter erupted soon after my smack down.

"Oh my God Lyric," Luke panicked. "I thought you were an animal or something."

"Serves you right though, you scared​ the crap out of me!" Diana scoffed.

"That was awesome!" Carlos was practically tearing up, holding his stomach. " I can't... You should've.. hahaha... You should've seen your face when he... Oh my goodness!!"

"I agree price-" Austin began but only to get his and Carlos' ear pulled roughly by Hailey.

"OW! OW, OW!!!" The two shouted in pain.

"You imbeciles!"

As the game progressed, we continued onwards in our search for the remaining three. We really needed to find them and head back to the camp ground. But it soon turned into a very frantic search for them. It started raining out of nowhere. Soon pouring like crazy.

"Initiate the emergency call," Diana called out in the mess.

We nodded and prepared to cry out.

"One," we stopped in our spots.

"Two," our hands moved up to cup our mouths.

"Three," simultaneously, we all hollered, "NO FREAKING WAY!!! IT'S THE OMAR FROM OMARGOSH TV!!!" If anything will get their attention and have them running here, it would be that. They are huge fans of Omar. Not gonna lie, so are we. He's practically the one who motivated us to start our own ghost hunting.

We counted up to 30, knowing it'll take 'em some time to get to where we are. And sure enough, after counting to 30, we heard three distinctive, "Omar!? Where is he!?"

The three came out panting from somewhere behind us.

"Where's... Omar?" Manny coughed out.

"Please tell me we didn't just miss him!" Hector rasped out.

"You guys should've held him back a bit more for us." Carter wined.

"Sorry guys, that was a lie." I started, "we just did it in a attempt to get you here, since it's like pouring."

"On the bright side, you guys are the winners of this round." Hailey tried to lighten the mood. Though it didn't really do much.

"Why you guys gotta play us like that?" Manny pouted, "you know it's our dream to meet him."

"Yeah," the two joined in.

On our way back to the campground, I had been given a piggy back ride from Diana. Everything was going nice and smooth, that's until her foot got caught on a root.

"Ahhhhh!!!" We both shouted.

She had fallen over and took me down with her. It was like slow motion, on our way down, she had unlatched her arms from under my legs in order to catch herself. I in return, wasn't expecting that at all, so I had been sent flying a tiny bit further. My leg had fallen straight on a rock, ouch!

"Diana! Lyric!"

We both grunted in response.

I was the first one to get off the ground with the help of Luke and Carlos. Diana on the other hand, needed someone to balance her on her feet. That was left to Hailey and Carter.

"You okay there Diana?"

"Hey!" I pouted, "what about me?"

"Shut it Lyric," Austin yelled. "Not everything is about you!"

I only pouted more and gave him the cold shoulder. Not like I didn't know that already. Rude!

"What on Earth happened?" She clamped her hand onto her head. "Who are you guys?"

We all gasped.

"Is this where we start singing Amnesia?" Hailey responded.

"Not the time Hailey!"

"Jeez, sorry," she held her hands up in defense.

"Hurry, what's the last thing you remember?"

"I was just kidding you guys." The bright pink haired girl giggled. "But you should have seen your faces."

At that Carter released his hold on her.

"Are we sure she's saying the truth?" Carlos piped up, "I think we should run some tests just to be sure."

I was about to say something when a howl was heard close, but far away from our spot. A coyote. I was then pushed to the ground by Carlos, while Carter and Austin did the same to Diana and Hector.

"What the hell guys!?" I shouted after them.

"Every man for himself!"

"Exactly!" Carter and Austin boomed after him.

The rest of us groaned in irritation and followed after them.
