They were just waiting for us at the bottom of that tree, ready to attack us and send us to our comfortable beds, while they enjoyed their sweet victory.
But I don’t think they were ready for what Eli was going to do.
That small, chubby kid made me so proud.
I mean, I don’t know what came over him. But all of a sudden he became a PVP Hunger Games Death Match Tournament Master.
With just one shot he was able to bounce his arrow off a tree, and hit one of the Jocks that was hiding behind a tree. That caused the Jock to shoot his bow and arrow at a rock which bounced off to hit the other Jock that was hiding behind a bush.
The weirdest part was that Eli did it with his eyes closed…
Man, he must have a sixth sense or something.
So there we were. Just me and Eli. Celebrating our victory.
But then it hit us…Only one of us could go home with the trophy.
I knew that it was time for me to really show how much I appreciated my short, chubby friend.
Plus, this was Eli’s moment to shine, not mine.
So, I told Eli to pick up his bow and arrow and win this tournament for the both of us.
Eli, was so happy. But, he was sad at the same time.
He raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at me.
I closed my eyes, and waited to wake up in my bed at the villagers’ house.
But, it was kind of weird when nothing happened.
I opened one eye to peek at what was going on. Eli was standing there with his bow and arrow pulled back, aiming at me, but with his eyes closed.
Then, all of a sudden, he points the bow and arrow into the sky and shoots.
The arrow bounces off a tree again, then bounces off a rock, and then bounces off another tree and hits him instead!
As I think about it now, I realize that Eli taught me something really important today.
He taught me what the real, true meaning of friendship is.
He taught me that it doesn’t matter how you look, or what you say or what you do. But, what really matters is that you care.
And Eli cared more than anyone I have ever met.
I’m gonna miss that chubby little kid…
But, then I remembered that I had to meet Steve at the Swamp Biome.
Since the Swamp Biome is closer to my village, I picked up the bow and arrow and shot at a tree like Eli did.
Next thing I know, I’m in my bed.
And now, I need to go talk to a witch about getting my twelve year old Zombie life back…
Really Late Saturday Night Entry
I made it to the Swamp Biome and I found Steve sitting outside of the Witch’s hut.
Skelee, Slimey, and Creepy were all there too.
“Hey fellas!”
“Zombie!!!” They yell.
“Man it’s good to see you.” Skelee says.
“What was it like living with the humans?” Slimey asks.
“Is it true they teach you to knock creepers into Zombies to blow them up?” Says Creepy.
“It’s great to see you guys too. But right now, me and Steve need to go talk to a witch.” I said.
“Hey Steve, we need to watch out for this witch. I forgot to tell you that she has a craving for rotten flesh.”
“Don’t worry about me.” He said. “If she wants rotten flesh, I’ll give her something to chew on.” He says as he’s shaking his fist.
Me and Steve look at each other and give each other a nod that we were ready.
We knock on the door of the witch’s house, ready for whatever was going to come out of that door.
“I’ll be there in one minute.” She says in a really weird voice.
Then she opens the door.
Me and Steve were blown away.
She didn’t look like any of the other witches I’ve ever seen before.
“Hello, come in, I’ve been expecting you.” She says.
“You have?” Me and Steve say together.
“Yes, after your talk with the witch in your neighborhood, she gave me a call and told me you would be coming. I prepared a potion that can turn Steve into a human again.”
“But aren’t you supposed to crave rotten flesh or something?” I said.
“Oh no. Those are just stories the other witches say about me.” She said. “They are all so jealous.”
“What about Zombie?” Steve said. “Can you turn him back into a Zombie?”
“Unfortunately, there is no potion for that.” The witch says.
Steve and I both looked at each other really sad.
“There’s no potion for that, because all you have to do to turn a human into a Zombie is to bite them.” She says. “Don’t you boys ever watch the movies?”
“That’s it?!!” I said not believing what I just heard. “We could’ve done that weeks ago…”
Then while I’m talking, Steve takes my hand and bites it.
All of a sudden, I start feeling queasy and dizzy and the whole room starts to spin.
I fall to the ground and start to shake a lot.
Then after a while my head hits the ground and everything goes black.
Next thing I know, Steve and the other guys are slapping me in the face to wake me up.
“OW! That hurt!” I said. “Hey, did it work?”
“Look in the mirror.” Steve says.
I look in the mirror, and there I am…A Zombie again!
I’m so happy I start jumping up and down.
Then my body parts start to fall off again, just like before. Which made me even more happy.
“Now it’s your turn, Steve.” The witch says.
Steve takes the potion from the witch, and drinks it.
All of a sudden Steve starts to glow and shake. And just like that he grows all of his skin and hair back. All of the holes in his skull, face and body start to fill in. He grows back his eyes, nose and ears. He straightens up from his crooked posture, and he starts breathing again!
“Alright! I’m back!” He says.
We’re so happy that we start to celebrate.
The witch invites us all to stay for some snacks before we leave for home.
“Rotten flesh meatballs anyone?” She says.
We all just look at each other…Confused.
Sunday
Well, I woke up this evening in my own Zombie bed.
My room had the nice aroma of rotting flesh and smelly socks again.
My booger collection is right where I left it. Though now, it’s a bit emptier thanks to Steve.
And I’m back to my twelve year old Zombie life again.
But, I’m a different Zombie now.
Being human taught me that it’s not what you are on the outside that matters, but what you are on the inside that counts.
And I’m not talking about slugs, maggots or tapeworms either.
But most of all, thanks to Eli, Steve and Alex, the biggest lesson I learned was that fitting in is not important, as long as you are willing to care for other people around you. Though they may reject you, as long as you keep on giving, you’ll have all the friends you will ever need in your middle school life.
Steve said he learned some lessons too.
He even told me how proud he was of me for winning the PVP Tournament for him.
“Way to go using the secret weapon!” He said.
What secret weapon?!! I thought.
But I think for Steve, the whole experience was a just a really cool break from his normal life of punching trees, and PVP Death Match Tournaments.
I mean, it’s not every day you get to be a Zombie and hang out with some of the crazy Mobs from Minecraft.
Steve and the guys sent me some pics from their Dance Party too. I’m going to keep them in my Journal so that I’ll never forget.
…Naw, I’m really keeping them because I want to learn those dance moves.
But I’m glad that it’s all over.
And I’m so glad that school is almost over too.
&n
bsp; In just a few short weeks, Summer break will be here.
Which means more fun and more adventures will be waiting for me and my pals.
All I can say, is that I can’t wait till it gets here.
Cause I’m gonna be ready…
Bring it!
