“Joe! What did I do?” I cried. He shook his head.
“Nothing,”. He took me by the hand and led me next door and into his backyard. My jaw dropped. His pool was huge. When I say huge I just don’t mean huge I mean HUGE ! They had a diving board and everything. A water fall, well, a small one that just made the pool what it was. A beach entry and crystal clear, sky blue water. I wish I even had a pool.
“Like it?” asked Joe. His voice was all clam and mellow. He sounded different.
“Like it?” I asked. “I love it!”
“Then come on!” he yelped. He ran all the way to the edge of the pool and jumped in. Did I mention I was still holding on to his hand? I thought I was going to freeze but the water felt as warm as the hot air surrounding us. I swam underwater. I could see clearly. Well, almost. I flipped and turned around. Joe followed me. I came up to the surface happily. Joe was already there. Just starring at me.
“What?” I asked. No answer. Then, Nick came out.
“What?” I asked Joe again. He slipped underwater.
