Four Times the Charm

2- Splash War

Caitlyn's POV

We all yelled goodbye at Emma as she exited the pool. I heard a car door open and close, and then the car driving away, signifying that she had left. I jumped into the pool once more, but not from the diving board. I hate diving boards.
"Hey! Guys!" I called out, treading water near the edge of the pool. Mikayla, who was diving underneath me, surfaced about two feet away from me. Milly swam over, as well. Perfect, I thought.
"Why don't we," I paused, getting my hands ready, "have a SPLASH WAR!!" I swiftly splashed them with water and tried to swim away as fast as I could.
Now, keep this in mind. I am not a swimmer. I don't swim fast. I don't even swim that well. I was only at the pool because my friends were there. Yes, I love the pool, but I am not a swimmer.
Mikayla and Milly both caught up to me rather quickly, and started splashing me. I sank underneath them, so they ended up splashing each other. I swam to the other side of the pool, climbed out, and ran to get two buckets. I filled them to the brim with water.
"Hey, where'd Caitlyn go?" I heard Milly ask. I crept up behind them, and with the best creepy voice I could do, I said "I'm right here, children."
Then I dumped both buckets of water on their heads, causing them to scream, but laugh at the same time. I was laughing as well.
I heard my phone buzz. I turned it on, and saw a text from my mom.
I turned to my friends. "Sorry, guys. It looks like it's my turn to leave."
"Aw," they both pouted.
I laughed. "We can get together at least one more time before school starts. Summer isn't over yet!"

I walked into my house, and was about to go change out of my bathing suit when my mom stopped me.
"You forgot to reapply your sunscreen," was the first thing she said, and "You got a letter, I put it on your desk," was the second.
I headed over to my desk, and sure enough, there was a letter just sitting there. I opened it rather messily (I'm bad at opening letters, okay?) and took out the paper that was inside.
I wanted to jump up and down while singing Imagine Dragons at the top of my lungs, I was so excited.
That letter was no ordinary letter.
It was a letter to Hogwarts.
