             One day Hallie decided to make all of our group to meet up at the bridge. It was me, Hallie, Rose, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Lee, Michael, John, and Eva. Elizabeth chose that it would be a great idea to jump from the railing of the bridge down to the creek below. We all agreed to jump into the creek except for John, Eva, and Michael. Hallie and Elizabeth were the first two to jump in but Elizabeth ended up shoving Hallie under the bridge, holding onto the railing. Michael told me to push back Hallie's glasses so they wouldn't fall into the creek. I climbed up beside Hallie and we jumped into the creek, leaving everyone on the bridge. The water felt good because it was 'bout 87 degrees but dang was the water a little chilly.

        Elizabeth jumped back in then followed by Cassandra and Rose. No one else would necessary jump in. I whispered to Hallie that we should push Lee and Michael into the creek. She agreed to it and we swam to land then walked back up onto the bridge. I walked over to John and tried to give him a hug but he ran away from me. I watched Hallie and Michael hugging then kissing. John came up to me then pushed me once I was already on the bridge. I screamed at him as I fell down to the water then splashed into it. John laughed and Elizabeth smacked him then made him jump off the bridge for payback. He refused but her and Michael got him to stand on the railing, then Michael pushed him off. John flipped out and it made me laugh. I swam to him and we held each other close as we moved out of the way for everyone else to jump into the water. It was a great day to spend time with friends and the boyfriend. We were at the creek for three hours until we decided to go home.
