On Friday I was really bored just watching TV when I got a call! Let me tell you, I don't get calls from anyone except my mom and dad! The call was from Liz, my first thought was that it was one of her friends calling one of her friends on her phone. Surprisingly it actually was Liz. "Hey you want to go to zap zone with Collette and me to play some laser tag?" I said that would be cool and we started to call/text a bunch of our friends to see if they wanted to join us. Well no one else could go due to the short amount of time till we were going. They asked me if I wanted to drive myself or want them to pick me up. I said it'd be nice if they could pick me up so that we can talk more and not have some of us waiting for the other people to get there.
When they first picked me up, I was starting to regret going because they were laughing like crazy at a bunch of inside jokes that I was not apart of. After a while though they soon realised that I need to know what the heck they're talking about so they slowed down with the inside jokes. I also needed to kind of lower my vocabulary with them because when I'd joke about something with them they didn't get it! For example I told Collette "Wow Collette your a whole lot more shy at lifeguards than with just Liz!" and they didn't even understand that!
After a while we soon hit "even" ground where I used easier to understand words and jokes while they cut the inside jokes! When we finally got there we were deciding how the teams were going to be. Well I decided that I was going to be on the red team with all the elementary aged kids and they both would be on the stacked teenager blue team! I quickly regretted picking the red team because the kids didn't seem to know that if someones vest is RED and yours is RED then you're on a TEAM! After getting shot with friendly fire like 5 times I quickly ran away from my team and looked around to collect my thoughts.
That is when I realised all of the blue vests around me! I had somehow ran right past the blue team and into their base! I took advantage of this right away by shooting them all in the back. I got about 10 kills until they realised that there was a red "guy" in their base. Even though they would send 3 or 4 guys after me I'd still kill them all and every once in a while I'd die. I had 2 hide outs and would switch out of them constantly and the blue team was so confused! I ran into Liz and Collette constantly but they didn't really stop me that often. I liked lying on my back to prevent them from seeing me that well it was a strategy that kept my score soaring!
After the game I felt really good about the score knowing that I totally maimed the blue team! I look at the score board and somehow I cant find me! They must've forgot the put me up there because I ended up getting my score sheet and wow it tells you how great of a game I had! Now there were 24 people there so these aren't gimmicks. Liz had "first" with 29,000 while on my score sheet it said I am rank "0/24" which made no sense to me so I looked at my score. I had 51,000 points!! My team won 170,00 to blue teams score of 140,000 so without me they would've lost! I won the kill to death ratio on all of blue team's players there was this one guy who I had 18 kills and 6 deaths!
After comparing scores Liz and Collette were whispering about something. They told me that this one guy in a huge group of dudes looks like a guy named Zack from school but they don't know if it's him or not! After I let them try to figure the best way to ask him for about 15 minutes I went up to him and asked him if he was Zack! Liz and Collette couldn't believe that I did that!
All in all I had a bunch of fun! I give all of my success in laser tag to the neighborhood kids who have recently been having a lot of Nerf wars! Thanks for the training guys!
