A Scare I Will Always Remember by:Brian Vaughn It was a very boring day as I was outside playing basketball by myself when a friend of mine named Slim called. He said he needed me on his team in a pickup game he was in, in his neighborhood. I called my mom and asked her could she take me to his house. She told me no because she didn’t want to pick me up later so I asked a neighbor to take me to his house and she did. We won the game. We had a lot of fun, but little did I know our fun was not close to being over. Later that night, two other guys and I were sitting in the house with Slim when he came up with and idea. He said, “Brian, lets get the pellet gun and go shoot some stuff outside.” I agreed so we loaded the gun with pellets and were on our mission. The first I did was I shot at a mailbox but I missed. Slim shot at some ones storm door and hit it. We all ran to the end of the street out of breath but were laughing because we were having fun. We walked for a little while and spotted a red truck. I was holding the gun in my hand and Slim said “Brian give me the gun, I’m going to shoot the window of the truck.” I said, “No! Ill do it.” We loaded the gun with more pellets. Slim tapped the side view mirror and said, “shoot this.” It was around nine o’clock so I couldn’t see what he was pointing to. I aimed the gun at the door window and pulled the trigger. The pellet went through and shattered the window cracking the windshield to. Slim yelled out an obscenity and said, “run!” We all took off like rockets towards Slims house. We saw a car coming and stopped running so we wouldn’t look suspicious. As soon as the car passed us, we started running again. By the time we were at Slims house we were all out of breath. When we were inside of the house everyone started laughing except for me because I didn’t think it was funny at all. I was scared somebody had seen us, and if the police were to come they would give a description of me and I would be arrested. All of a sudden Slims mom called him upstairs and I thought that she was going to say something about were we just came from. When he came back downstairs I was really scared. I asked him what did she say, but it wasn’t anything about were we had just came from. My phone started ringing. I was hoping it was my mom, but it wasn’t. It was my sister. She asked me were I was. I told her I was at Slims house. She said she was coming to pick me up. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. I was saved at last. I got home and didn’t say a word to anyone; I just went to sleep.
