Hide and Shriek

Ten-year Randi Clay Just moved into town - The town of Fear Street, Where horror pulls you down. Enormous, gigantic calendars She sees, hung on her street On October 10th is marked In red - ‘The Birth of Pete.’ She makes new friends at school, And likewise - enemies too, Who seemed to keep on saying, ‘Beware – He’ll get you! ’ Whenever asked “Who’s Pete?” The children turned too pale, But at last, quite surprisingly, They began to tell the tale:- "There was a boy called Pete, A normal 12 – year old, Until one day he fell so ill, And caught a horrid cold. Alas! One day he died, And was buried in his grave, They thought it was the end of Pete, Grumpy, dull, but brave. But right from that very year, Pete gets up on the tenth, And enters into other kids, For using up their strength. It is now an annual tradition Of playing Hide and Shriek - Whoever Pete makes ‘IT’ Is the new one from that week. Randi, the risk for you is Too real - Heaven forbid. You’re new to Town Fear Street - AND PETE DOES LIKE A NEW KID." --------------------------------------------------------- Based off the idea from an R.L Stine book
