Only One

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Splash. I felt water surround me. The only problem was I don't remember jumping in, or getting up. I popped up and wiped the water from my eyes. Ryan, Deven, Pete, Danny, and Patrick were laughing from a distance. The question is: where are Ash and Parker? That's when I felt more water splash against my back. Along with something hard. I whipped around and there the two were. Ash had his head thrown back with laughter and Parker stood there with folded arms and a sly smirk on his face. I stepped closer and splashed him. I felt another thing hit my chest. I looked down. There was something green oozing down my body.

"Jerk," I cried. "What is this stuff?" I ask. It was like slime and it wasn't coming off.

"Your at a lake. You can't expect to not get splashed," Parker reasoned.

"Well you didn't have to throw a balloon full of goop at me," I say.

"Where would the fun be if we didn't?" He asked. I was quiet.

"It wasn't fun for me Parker," I snap.

"But it was for us." Ash wiggles his eyebrows at me which only make me frown.

"You guys are unbelievable," I roll my eyes and turn around. I start wading my way over to the others, but feel arms wrap around my waist. It was Parker. I started to thrash around, but then I felt something get slapped onto my head. Great more chalky stuff with color. I'm going to look like a clown by the end pf the day. I scream.

"Parker!" I shriek, twisting out of his arms. I look up at everyone who was still on the boat. "Are you going to give me balloons are not?" I ask. Immediately they all toss balloons down at me. Well most of them toss them. Pete thought he would be funny and chuck a few at me. It kind of hurt. Once I had a balloon in hand I instantly chucked it at Parker. It his him square in the neck.

"You guys weren't suppossed to give them to her," Parker groans.

"Men do anything a woman wants them to. Haven't you learned that by now?" I ask, pelting another balloon at him. Before you know it everyone was chucking balloons at each other. Everyone left Parker and I alone though. I think they were all watching us. It was really a sight to see. I was on his back squeezing a balloon into his hair. He was trying to get me off his back, but I wouldn't let go. Finally, his footing slipped and we both plummeted under the water. I tried to reach the surface, but Parker weighted me down. He was totally doing it on purpose. Finally he allowed me to pop out of the water. I gasped for breath.

"You little fu-" I felt arms wrap around my waist. And before I knew it we were back under the water. That's how it was. It was just Parker and I wrestling at the sand bar. Just like we used to. Except then it was all for fun. Now, now I think it was to prove who was better and stronger than the other. It wasn't fun and games anymore. Not to him. Not to me. Not to anyone.
