Lake

My family had come from Mexico, so we decided to go to a lake near by. I took my bike and my football. Once we got there, we helped prepare everything for lunch. My mom told me to keep an eye on my little cousins. I asked them if they wanted to play football. We started playing and my older brother and his asshole friends wanted to play. I said it was fine since my mom said I had to learn to have patience. Long story short, they threw the football into the lake on purpose.  I made them go get it and one of my brother's friends falls into the lake. i laugh and he pulls me in with him. I stuck my tongue at him and splashed him. I then see a freaking water snake. I scream and try to swim back to the ground. Everybody just laughs until they see the snake.
