So yeah, the science club activity that I've been talking about for a while now happened last night. I never realized that it would be as incredibly awesome as it was.
So, after I found the teacher's house (which took forever), we (the freshmen and a couple of guides) went into the basement and planned strategy. Or, everyone else planned strategy while I admired the huuuuuuuge movie collection he had, and the huuuuuuge insects he had caught and mounted, including the biggest tarantula I've ever seen.
So, then we headed out, and I realized that I wore the wrong shoes for the occassion, since I wore Crocs and there was a bunch of snow on the ground and stuff. We were running through alleys and hopping fences and hiding in people's backyards and stuff. The first mentionable thing that happened was that we left a gate open in an alleyway, and all the sudden these two dogs came out and started barking at us. We all thought they were going to come through the open gate, but they went away :/
After a little while, I realized that I was so cold that I was turning into a Smurf, so I had to drop out. I guess next year I'll wear my snow boots. We started to run across the street, but we saw a car and, fearing it was some upper classmen, we hid in the back of someone's truck. Then the others dropped my off under a stop sign, then ran across the street and hid in a huge blue spruce while I waited for the teacher to pick me up. Apparently, both of the boys (all the freshmen were girls, and both guides were males) felt really guilty about just leaving me, and commented "I feel like we've just dropped off a hooker."
As I waited under the stop sign, I thought I saw my teacher pull up across the street. I couldn't tell if it was him, though, and I didn't want to walk up to some stranger's car. He apparently got a phone call just as he pulled up, and, thinking it was me (it was actually some upper classmen), he answered and the following conversation took place (Shadow is my replacement name for Internet use):
And the next thing I know, a car pulls up next to me and everyone jumps out and tackles me. They were all really disappointed upon learning that I surrendured. The girl who caught me "claimed" me anyway, though.
So I just waited in the teacher's car and played secretary since his phone died, and nothing really happened to me personally. However, the other freshmen were having a hell of a time. One guide was chased through two backyards by a senior. Apparently, the guide hopped over a fence, slipped on some ice, and fell down on his face. The senior got a cheeseburger grin, hopped over the fence, and then he slipped on the ice and fell on his own face. He didn't get up for a while afterwards.
The freshmen also ran across a farmer's field, trying to stay hidden. However, they came across the farmer, and began to talk to him through his window. He went in the back of the room where no one could see them, upon which everyone thought "Oh shit, we're going to get shot." He was apparently really nice and continued talking to them, though, and also I think he gave them directions.
Then the freshmen got caught and lost, albeit only a block from their destination. Apparently no one really saw them, and wouldn't have chased them if they hadn't started running.
We went back and had the traditional spaghetti dinner at the teacher's house (he said they ate it after the hunt every year, except for one year, which he said ended up hilariously). Then everyone went downstairs to shoot the hell out of each other on Halo, except for me, who decided to watch a movie. At first I watched Mulan, and then when I finished that, I began to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which I had never seen before, on the teacher's recommendation. Everyone else knew the movie so well that they came upstairs to use the bathroom or get a brownie or something and started reciting the next lines with the characters. As for me, I immensely enjoyed it and want to finish watching that movie.
It was true love.
