Chapter.4 The Game

Oh i just found Jem just a minute ago and he just told me the phrase phew! Finally Scout suggested a game for us to play. We would roll in the tyre and i wanted to go first since i just got here but Jem said i could get extra time if i let Scout go first so i agreed. Little did i know that Jem actually wanted to get back at Scout fer what he said about the Hot Steams an' he pushed Scout with all his strength. And guess what? Scout rolled right into the Radley Place.
Jem was screaming fo' her to get out of there but she forgot to take the tyre with her, probably because she was so dizzy and scared, but Jem still shouted at her and she retorted back to Jem and he fell silent. But i wondered why he couldn't go and retrieve it since he even touched the house before hadn't he? But anyway he did retrieve the tyre and Jem started acting all victorious as if he had won the battle saying that there was nothing to it...right, nothing to it eh?

Right after the whole woo haa, Cal called out fer' our summertime ritual.LEMONADE! I guess the lemon got to his head cos' he suggested a new game fer' us!We were going to role play Boo Radley's life. Scout started acting weird..she's probably just scared but she said that Boo might hunt us down while we were asleep so i suggested to Jem that we would just have to play by ourselves and Scout would hafta' watch us, but she agreed anyway..hmm wonder what changed her mind.

As the summer passed so did our little game. We kept trying to perfect our play by polishing it and we even added dialogue and a plot making this game worthy enough of being called a mini-play! We used parts of gossip we heard from other people and neighbourhood legends like Mrs Radley who was actually a beautiful lady until she married Mr Radley and lost all money,her teeth, hair and especially her right forefinger where Boo actually bit it off one night when he couldn't find cats and squirells to munch on.Its true!

We were having so much fun until Atticus caught us and Jem tried to avoid that we were actually playing. After he left, Jem still insisted on continuing to play the game.

Well i guess i'll go and ask Cal if she can get me another glass of her lemonade.
