Chapter 10

Mia's POV

Lenny rented a wagon for us to ride in. No, not the kiddie wagon but more of a big wooden wagon with real horses and haystacks in it.

I was actually pretty excited about this ride, so was the rest of the gang cause they were screaming and cheering on the way to the park. Becky was probably the happiest kid right now as we rode in the wagon, I know how much of a nature lover she is. I was between Greg and Keithie again, and I leaned my head on Greg's shoulders as he wrapped his arms around me. I shivered from coldness which made Greg hold me tighter.

Today would be our official last day and night together. Tomorrow would be all about packing and saying goodbyes. I have no doubt that a few tears would be shed tomorrow...

We arrived at the park, it was packed with people again like the water park, we were the only one who had the idea of a wagon for a ride. We found a spot underneath the heat of the sun, though the cool breeze lessened the heat a bit. We set up the picnic baskets, some lawn chairs and blankets. Once everything was set, I removed my shorts and shirt and settled on my mint blue bathing suit, we (Donna, Andre, Greg and I) got out the inflated mattress and dragged it to the lake.

"Okay, it's on position." Greg said below me. I was already on the diving board or lifeguard chair or whatever.

"I don't know, man. This looks crazy.." Andre hesitated.

"It'll be fine. C'mon, I spent all morning blowing this thing up." Greg persuaded.

"You should be alright." Donna said while fixing the mattress.

"Should be?" Andre screamed as he padded across the mattress to sit on the edge.

"Yeah." I answered giddily as Greg and Donna ascended.

The three of us lined up, held hands and jumped to the mattress. We hit the mattress at the same time that Andre flies up into the air, flipping so that his back was the one towards the water and hits the water. Seconds ticked by and then Andre's head popped up the water screaming, "Let's do that again!"

"I'm next!" I yelled.

"You sure about this, babe? I don't you to get hurt.." Greg hesitated.

"I'll be fine. C'mon, line it up." I ordered as Donna just shrugged and began to fix it again.

I was by the edge of the mattress waiting for Greg to yell his cue. Andre joined the two on jumping, they got ready and jumped. I soared through the air what felt like hours and then dove into the water with a perfect form. I gasped for air as my head popped out of the water.

A few minutes later, we retired from all the swimming and went back to the picnic spot. I dried myself and then put my clothes back on. I started to towel dry my hair and did the same with Greg's, he just smiled at me in thanks. We settled down and started eating chips and fruits.

A few old guys approached us. "You sure you wanna do this, Bailey?" Lenny asked.

"My five against your five." Dickie Bailey said.

"Oh, boy.. Look at this. I see the boys stayed in shape, huh." Lenny chuckled as someone from the fat guys in front of us burped.

"Robideaux, good to see ya." Lenny referred to the crossed-eyed guy.

"Lenny." Robideaux acknowledged.

"If you're looking at me, I don't know." Lenny chuckled. "Look, fellas. We just want to eat some watermelons and relax, if you're alright with that."
