The
Truth Behind a Smile #15
I
wanted to scream with joy. Matt was right, swimming in pitch black
was amazing. Beyond amazing, actually. You couldnt see where you
were going and everything look mysterious in the moonlight.
"When do your parents get home?" I asked Matt. I had no
idea what time it was.
"Well let's see. It's 9:30 right now so they get back in an
hour. They're very seriously about their jobs."
"You're alone this whole time?"
"Pretty much." Alone in a house, no correction, mansion
this size for like eight hours?
"Anways, let's have a splash contest?" Matt said.
"A what?" Would anyone like to clarify for me what a
splash contest is?
"You jump off the diving board and try to make the biggest
splash."
"What if we're not able to see the splash?"
"You feel it." This just kept sounding crazier and
crazier.
"No thanks. I'm already wet enough."
"Suck it up, Macy."
"Ugh, fine!" Matt and I climbed out of the
water.
"Stand on the side and when i jump in, tell me if you get wet.
That means my splash was big." I started giggling and
then all out laughing. This splash contest thing seemed ridiculous.
Matt did a huge cannonball. He had to have gone fifty feet up in
the air. Just kidding about the fifty part, though. But he did no
pretty high. And i got drowned.
"Yeah, i'd say that splash was huge."
"I'm an expert." I walked to the diving board. I ran up
to the edge and did a cannonball as well. Except my splash was like
twice as small as Matt's had been.
"You so totally lose!" Matt said, when i resurfaced.
"Thanks very much,"I said sarcastically. "But i
think i'm done. I'm freezing."
"One more jump?"
"Fine whatever." I thought he was going to jump off the
diving board...Instead, while i was turned around he came running
up to me and pushed me in.
"No you didnt! You did not just do that!"
"Yes, yes i think i did just do that. I pushed you in,
whatcha gonna do about it?" I got out of the water and
sprinted as fast as i could towards him. He was going to pay for
that!
