That time I scared my brother.

A few years ago when I was still in 7th or 8th grade and my brother was in 3rd or 4th, we would play around the house. And this one time, we were playing this catch/hide and seek thing and he was supposed to find and catch me. So while he went up the third floor looking for me, I went into his room on the second floor.

He was still in the third floor looking for me when I stuck my head out of the door to his room and called him. He could see me and I could see him since there was a direct line of sight from his room to the third floor. So I was taunting him to come get me in his room. Naturally, he took the bait and decided to come to where I was to get me. 

The plan was to crouch down and hide beside the bed or hide behind the curtains and then scare him when he got into the room. I’ve done this multiple times and sometimes I get him, and sometimes I don’t. But I was looking around the room and an awesome idea hit me “I could hide in the closet! He’ll come in the room thinking I’m hiding by the bed or the curtains and I’ll scare him from the closet! Brilliant!”. And so into the closet I went.

Just a few seconds after I hid in the closet, I hear the door open. I know I should wait a few seconds more so he has time to make his way to the bed where he thinks I’m hiding. So after about 3 seconds, I kicked the closet door andburst out screaming “AAAHHHHH!!” And just as I had calculated, he was by the bed looking for me and he goes “AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”. The best part was I got him so bad, while he was still screaming, he also started crying. That was the first time I’ve scared someone to tears. And I swear he didn’t just tear up, he totally sobbed. And I laughed so hard after that. Hahahahaha..I have a grin right now in fact as I’m writing about this. That remains to this day one of my best scares ever.
