Are You Ready for a Swim?

  

¨Splash!¨ Abby jumped into the lake. ¨Splash!¨ Mia jumped in after. They were at Mia’s community lake for a swim. They climbed out and jumped back in at the same time. There was a big splash. They swam while Mia talked and Abby listened. Mia´s jersey was on the dock sitting with Abby´s adidas. White sneakers with three black stripes on the side. They were covered by a towel they did not want to get their favorite things wet. They swam for awhile then they went to dry off.

       They hopped onto the dock to dry off in the sun. They sat down on the lounge chairs. They were wrapped in a towel. They talked to each other as they air dried. They told each other jokes and secrets. “Can we please go back in?” begged Mia hopefully.

“I do not want to but you can” said Abby in reply. Mia got up to make sure her sports jersey stayed dry.

“Splash!!!!!” Mia fell in off the dock. Abby stood up and walked over. Abby laughed. And laughed and laughed some more then she stopped. She did not see Mia’s kind laughing face. She called for her. No reply. She panicked and jumped in to try to save her wherever she was. She was in the cold green water. She could almost touch the bottom. She swam a long way up to catch her breath.

       Abby was shaking so hard. Tears started walking down her face. She saw bubbles! Could this be her! Please please be Mia! Thought Abby. Her tears had stopped. She was struggling to keep herself up from the dark cold lake. Her arms and legs felt like they could snap in half.

       She saw a face come into view. Abby’s heart was beating one million miles per hour. A smile started to climb across her face. She saw red it got darker and darker as she swam higher and higher. Her face popped up! “MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Abby shouted. “Ha Ha Ha! I pranked you. I got you so good!” Mia snorted.

“You did WHAT!!!???!!??!!!??” Abby shouted at her best friend. After a few minutes of Abby being angry and not talking to her Abby smirked. It turned into a smile and she started to crack up in laughter. “How did you do it?” Abby asked.

 “I was holding goggles” Mia started “And when I fell in I put them on. Then when you jumped in and I could see you were far under water I came up to take a breath then when you came back up I went back under water.” They walked back to Mia’s house and the whole way there they were laughing!
