Witt Parkinson

The View

Charlie, Darling and I followed behind Erick inside the woods, it was a short walk untill we came upon a opening , you'd think we were on flat land but we weren't,
The opening dropped down into a little tiny canyon that had a huge lake at the bottom.

We all stared at in awe, speechless and breathless,
When you stood their you could feel the cold crisp wind blow between every Crevice of your body.

It was silent untill Erick blurted out.
"Race ya too the lake!"

"Wait no fair we didnt even know!"

As soon as Erick said that he took off down the dirt and started to take of his shirt, shorts, and shoes and Jumped into the water, and Darling Followed Right behind him.
Charlie said too me,

"Wanna go?"

"I dont...really want too get wet..."

"Oh come on Witt it'll Be Fun!"

I starred at the lake and at my cloths...

"How will we dry off?"

"Your worried about that now?, lets just go"

"Well...alright"

"Ok....but i have to tell you something important..."

"Yea ?"

"Last one their gets mud on their face !"

She darted down the dirt hill and took off her jeans, Shirt and shoes and jumped inside the water, Immediately as she got in i saw Erick, Darling and charlie All splashing Around.

"Witt Come on!"
Charlie said too me.

I looked at her smiled and took off down the hill, when i got too the peak of the water i took off my cloths and jumped in,
i felt femanine pricky legs touch my back as i swam under the water and picked who ever it was up on my shoulders.

"Witt guess what?"

I wiped my face of the water and looked above my head.

"Yea?"

*Splat*

She seriously just slapped me with mud...
I thought too myself.

"Hey!"

She laughed historically, and went under the water once again, i had a feeling i knew what she was gonna do so i did the same and grabbed a handful of mud.

I surfaced the water and got called.

"Hey witt!"

I looked behind me and darling threw a handful of mud on my chest.

"Ha strike!"

And i saw darling go under the water.

How the hell did this become a mud fight.

I saw bubbles hit the water and got close and saw blond hair, it was Erick and knowing him he was about too strike a Burning point.
He Emerged from beneath the surface and i through the mud, immediately it hit him and he went back down.

I starred around and everybody was underwater, i made my way back too the land and sat down and watched them all swim around as the sun hit their cheeks.
For a moment charlie stopped and looked around.

"Where's Witt!?"

"Im over here..."

I yelled back.
Erick screamed across the lake.

"Why dude?"

"I dont know..."

So Darling made her way towards me as charlie and Erick still swam around.

"Hey...why are you over here?

"I dont know...just here"

"Well...want to see something cool??"

"Sure.."

Darling took my hand and we climbed up on this little hill with a tree high above the lake, it had a rope attached too it.

"Now im a grab the rope and your gonna swing"

"What!? Thats like a 4 foot deep lake"

"Trust me your fine, that dark spot there drops down"

"Oh...."

Darling grabs the rope and hands it too me.

"Now go."

I looked at the water, and held tight too the rope.

"Do i really have too??"

"Too late!"

She ran too me and pushed me,
I swung out over the open water looking down at Erick and Charlie.
Erick noticed me and yelled,

"Let go of the rope Witt!"

And so i let go of the rope as all the thoughts of that night flooded back into my mind.

I really did that.
I thought too myself.

So i formed myself into a cannonball.
As the wind Create's Streaks Of air ...making my momentum increase.

I heard Erick scream.
"YEA!!!"

*Splash*

I felt my body ingulf under cold water and i release my body from that ball position.
When i surfaced the impact was so great everything felt a bit Numb, and i saw Erick make his Way towards me.

He Patted me on the back.

"Dude that was sick!"

And right after he said that a huge wave of water come over us.

I totally forgot darling was up there still.

Charlie yelled
"Darling you ok!?"

It was quite....then we saw bubbled emerged.

"YAA!!!"

And we all laughed barely being able too keep ourselves Afloat so we made our way too land and the sat on a log were all our cloths seemed to get mixed together around.
We sat down as the sun came out too naturally dry us.... the lake Gleamed and we all starred around.
taking it all in...
the Birds flew bye, the Sun shined and Had great friends around.

Darlings Phone Buzzed and as she starred at it her eyes lit up.

"Guys its 5:00"

"What!? We left school at like.."

"2:20.." i said.

"We have to leave now?.... well ya lets go"

We all grabbed our cloths and put them back on, made our way back up the dirt crevice and got back in the car.

When we got comftorble and sat back inside.
We sat in silence for a second, and we all busted out laughing.

"That was fun"
Charlie said.

"Right!? What i tell ya"
Erick said.

"Alright.. lets get out of here"

He started up the car and drove back on the road, we started to make our way back into civilization and Erick turned back in the radio.

"Man i love this song "

"Your really into music huh Erick?"
I said.

"Forsure man, music's great"

At that moment we all let the wind blow through our wet hair and sat back and breathed deep.

Friends.

Having friends isnt about who came first or who you've known the longest, Its about who came and never left.
