Chapter Eight Dangerous Waters

Now that all four of us were a group again we went into the woods. After we got deeper inside the woods there was a lake. "How are we gonna get across?" Vern asked. "How about we use you as a raft." Gordie said like a true smartalec. "So funny I forgot to laugh." Vern said. "Let's just swim across. It can't be to deep." I suggested.

Chris took a few steps towards the water and then we did the same. Next thing I know we were just getting out breath, from being underwater. "Guess it is a little deep." I said. "Told you we shoulda stuck to the tracks." Vern said with such a serious face it was scary. "Verno it's summer if we were back home we would be jumping in lakes." Gordie said. "I hate this shortcut." Vern complained. "Well maybe this will make it better." Gordie said.

He began to dunk Vern into the water, multiple times. "Gordie don't drown him." I said. "Come on act your age man." Chris told him. Gordie stopped dunking Vern and had crazy wet hair. "This is my age! I'm in the prime of my youth. I'll only be young once!" Gordie said to Chris. "Yeah but you'll be stupid for the rest of your life." "Alright you too Chambers!" Yelled Gordie. He dunked Chris twice and then we were out of the water.

"Eww Vern you have something on your neck." I said. "What is it?" "I don't know." "It's a leech!" Chris said. "Ahhhh leeches!" Gordie screamed. All of us threw off our shirts in a second. We rolled our jeans down to our ankles. "Hey Verno turned around. Give Em some privacy. You too Chris." Gordie said. All three of the guys turned around for me. "There's some in your back Gordie." I said. "Get em off me." Vern got them off of Gordie. Chris got them off of Vern. I got them off of Chris and Gordie it them off of me. "I feel light headed." I said dizzily.

"You should probably sit down." Chris said as he turned around so he was facing me. The sight of Chris shirtless was overwhelming. I began to see everything start to spin. The next thing I knew all I saw was black.

Before I knew it five minutes passed. I felt someone holding my hand and then I felt a hand grazing my hair and down my cheek. That's when I woke up, and saw that Gordie was the one holding my hand. Chris was the one with his hand on my cheek. When I opened my eyes Chris threw his hand off me. "I though you were dead." said Vern. "Isn't that thoughtful. Good one Vern." Gordie said sarcastically. "I'm fine." I announced. "Lets get you off the ground." Chris said and reached out his hand to help me up. I took it and was soon standing on my own.

Once our clothes dried we put out our fire and began walking. Soon we saw the beginnings of a town.
