One of the Guys

TwEnTy-FoUr

We are still at the park, talking.

"You know what you truly deserve, after beating me in football?" Cameron said.

"What?"

"This"
Suddenly Cameron pushes me I to the pond. Oh he's going to get it.

"You jerk! I can't see!"
I swam closer to him.

"Hahahaha are you ok!" He laughed.
I grab onto him and pull him inside.

"Yeah! Totally ok!" I laughed.

"Nice one Dawson."
We were both laughing and so was everyone else.

"Good thing we brought towels" Cameron's mom said.

"Same here" mom took out a towel and places it on the grass.

"Well this is refreshing! I'm enjoying this. I'm staying in" I said as I swim backwards.

"I'm with ya"
The sun was setting.

"A game of Marco Polo?" Cameron asked.

"I'm down."
I was Marco and he was polo.
I closed my eyes and we began.

"Marco?"

"Omg, he's here?" Suddenly u heard Jackie say.

"No stupid, we are playing Marco Polo!" I yelled out.
I'm actually happy he isn't here because they might get all hippy -d -dippy on the grass. Yuk!! Can't see that again!

We started the game again.

"Marco"

"Polo"

"Marco"

"Polo"
I felt the water move as he did.
I swam faster. Suddenly I felt lumps. I felt with my other hand as well and then I opened my eyes. I'm touching Cameron's abs! I stand up and bump my head.
Then my eyes met his.
My hands rose up to his chest.

"Ow, you bumped into my chin" he said.

"Your chin bumped into my head." I chuckled.
We both smiled.
This was so weird. What are we doing just staring at each other? He leans in and I don't move at all.

"Let's go! The sunset is setting even more, it's so beautiful!" Mom yelled out.
We quickly moved away from each other.

"Aha, we gotta go" I said.

"Yeah, uh- that's what your mom just said" he chuckled awkwardly.

"Yeah, we should get going."

"Yeah, we are going home. You know."

"Yeah, but in the car first. So we can get home faster. The car drives us home." I chuckled awkwardly as well.
We grab our towels and dry ourselves.

"Aha, yeah it does. Unless you want to go home on an airplane, airplanes fly in the sky..." He clears his throat.
Jackie stops and looks at us.
