Losers Incorporated -excerpt-

This is an excerpt of a story I was thinking up. I don't know if I'm going to write down an excerpt...

-New Beginnings- (Izzy's POV)

"Izzy! Hurry up!", Adrienne yelled from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" I ran around my room trying to pack up my backpack. It was December 31st and at the end of every month me and my friends, Adrienne and Cody, do a monthly dare.

Cody recently got his license so he got to choose this month's dare. All he said to us was to bring a change of clothes.

I heard a honk come from outside.

"Izzy!", Adrienne called out again.

"I'm almost done." I threw on my brother's old varsity jacket and ran downstairs.

"What took you so long?", she asked.

"I had to make sure I have everything ", I said.

Adrienne hit my backpack. "How much did you pack? You only need one outfit."

"It is one outfit." Cody honked again.

"We're coming!", Adrienne yelled going out the door. I followed her and opened the car door.

"Why are girls so slow?", Cody asked one we entered the car.

"Why are boys so impatient?", Adrienne said messing up Cody's hair. He laughed and hair combed it back into place.

"Where are we going anyway?", I asked laying across the backseat.

"You'll find out when we get there ", he said. He backed out of my driveway and we were on our way.

The drive took a long time and Cody still wouldn't tell us where we were going. After about a few hours we arrived at Geneva's Pier.

"Why are we at the pier?", I asked. Cody looked at his watch.

"Look, it's nine o'clock clock. At twelve, when all the shops are closed, we jump into the harbor." Adrienne and I just looked at each.other.

"Alright then.Get out and have fun."

We all exit the car. For the next few hours we went up and down the dock playing carnival games and rafting food. At eleven fifty-eight we went back to the car.

"You guys ready?", Cody asked us. We nodded at each other. We held hands and stood on the edge if the dock.

"On the count of three", Adrienne said. I closed my eyes.

One... Two ... "Three!", I said and we jumped.

The water was really cold that as soon as I hit the water I scrambled back to the surface. When I reached the surface, Cody's watch started beeping.

"Happy New Year!", he yelled.

"Happy New Year!" Adrienne screamed.

"Happy New Year!", I yelled also.

Happy New Year...
