NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.3 A Rope

“Wow, Chris, this is amazing,â€? I say while getting out of the car.

“I know. I come here every time I just need to cool off.â€? He says, looking into the water.

“Common,â€? he says and I follow him to the water.

He takes his shirt off. What?

“What are you doing?â€?

“Well you can’t just let all this water stay and waste!â€? He says laughing.

He walks towards a tree and pulls down a rope. He grins and points the end of the rope to me. I try not to be spell-bound by his six pack and amazing muscles.

“Oh no, oh no no no,â€? I say and take a step back.

“Oh yes you will. Common it will be fun! The only thing that will happen is you will get wet.â€? He smiles.

“Ok, fine I will do it,â€? I come over to him and take the rope.

I stand there for a minute staring at the water. Should I really do this?

I feel a push from behind, “just do it.â€?

I Push off and feel the wind in my face as I swing in the air. Letting go, I plunge into the water. I swim up with a smile on my face.
