"I can't get back up!" I tell Talia and Sam. I struggled to get my feet back up on the bridge, I felt free but at the same time frightened of falling. Sam and Talia both grabbed my ankles jand helped me up. Once I was finally on the bridge I shouted, "That was amazing! I felt so alive and free!" The fear gave me a rush of adrenaline that made me happy. I walk over to the street, stand in front of an oncoming car, and I feel so alive. Talia pushed me out of the way, even though I was going to jump out of the way, but it showed that she really cared. We all walked around the city for the entire day, we stopped at a school playground, I chased after a squirrel until it climbed up a tree, I ran back over to Talia and Sam, and tried to climb up a slide with rollers on it but I couldn't make it up. Sam was sitting in the slide so I decide to go down it and kick him, I walked up to the top, slid down, and kicked him right in the nuts! I laugh hysterically, and so does Talia. We walked down to BigLots where I found A ball of dirt, I said to Sam "Hey stupid! Think fast!" and threw it at him, we all laughed. While walking towards the back of the store, I saw a bottle of baby powder, I grabbed it off the shelf, and sprayed it all over Talia and Sam making it look like someone had dumped cocaine on them, I laughed so hard I peed my pants! Talia dared me to put on a kids tutu so I did, but right when I had just barely got it on, an old lady worker walks by and says, "I think it's time all of you bought something and get on with what you got to do, and you're going to rip that!" as she looked at me with an ugly, disgusted look I had to try to prevent myself from laughing. Once it was off we walked out laughing so hard!
I lived the best day of my life today. Being free, careless, and daring is living. I stood in front of an oncoming car to see who would push me out of the way, I hung from a bridge to see who would pull me back up, I ran on a busy street to see who would run with me. The fear of being hit or falling was always there until I found the people that wouldn't let me fall.
