Chapter 4: Pool

Chapter 4: POOL

I take off my shoes and put on my goggles. Before I jump in I notice the water going back and forth as the boat moves. The kids in the pool are stuck washing up and down with the current in the pool. Letting out any worries I jump in. The pool is cold at first but warms up after being in for 30 seconds. 

I swim around for a bit and just relax. After 1-2 hours of swimming, I decide to try out the slide that goes around the ship. So I hop out of the pool and go over by my stuff to dry off. Once I feel warm enough, I head towards the slide.

The line isn't as long as I thought it would be. After about 5 minutes of waiting, it's my turn. 

"Hi. What you're going to do is sit in the floaty holding onto the handles. Don't let go until the ride is over. Ready?" The slide conductor tells me.

"Ok," I sit in the floaty holding in tightly. Immediately the raft shoots off. In the clear tube I see everyone under neath me. At a point the slide curves off the ship where you're over the ocean...scary. Suddenly I'm at the bottom and the ride has stopped. That was quick. A worker at the bottom helps me off the yellow ramp where the ride ends.

"Thank you for riding the Aquaduck," he says as I walk off. I give him a friendly wave goodbye.

As I approach my seat I notice my phone is ringing.

"Hello," I say.

"Erin, we're having lunch if you'd like to join us," I hear my mom's voice on the other end.

"Um, maybe later. I think I'm gonna go back to the room and rest some. I'm a bit tired," I stretch out my arms ready for a nap.

"Ok, but I want us to have dinner together. Well, I'll see you at maybe 8:00 for dinner. We're meeting at Priscilla's, ok?"

"Ok," I respond. "See ya later," and I hang up.

I quickly grab all of my things and head to my room. Without taking a shower, I throw on some pajamas and hop in bed. I'll just take a shower when I wake up. I look at the clock:

'11:00'

Well, I've got about nine hours. I turn off my lamp and shut my eyes. I'm out immediately. I guess after having to wake up at like 4:00 am, I didn't get a real nights sleep.
