My enthusiasm rushed through me as I ran into our cozy summer house beating my sister in a race.
"No fair!!!" She screamed "you have longer legs!!!"
She pouted as my mom locked the door.
"How about you go choose your rooms?" My mom demanded.
"I call the big one!" Anna (my little sister) yelled.
"Fine, I get the one with the big window." I said, knowing what was going to happen.
"I want that one Cassie!! No fair!" Anna screamed, deafening our ears. I smiled
"Fine!" I said with a smirk.

As I rushed into my room and bounced on the purple cover, I decided to change into my swimsuit.
Securing the back strap, I rushed through the grass, still wet from last night's rain. The smell of the strong chlorine reminded me of last summer. It was the first summer I knew how to swim and so did Anna (we are late bloomers), and I was enjoying the sun. I decided to stay in the safe, warm sun for a little as I pounded my feet against the cement outline of the pool. I plopped down on a lounge chair, making the sound of the air whoosh. Anna came in running after me, her tiny legs splashing into the pool.
"Can you please come in the water?" begged Anna.
"Why?" I asked "learn to play alone, your gonna need it "
A smile formed across her face, one of those evil ones, like in the freakin creepy doll movies, the kind where the doll/murderer gets when their about to kill the one person you actually like in the movie. But in my life that means she was going to tell mom. Damn dolls.
I stretch my legs across the lounge chair and see what Teen Beat (a magazine) has in it.
"Woah!" Says Anna,
I peer out of the magizine, and see Anna just popping up and down in the pool. I laughed at her, not because it was funny, it was just cute. Soon she was on a running record, up and down, up and...
"HELP!!!!!" She screamed,
I jumped, knocking down everything in my way. "HELP!!!" I screamed with her, sounding as if were in harmony.
I jumped in, splashing-everything cold, stinging wet. I didn't think. I did. My eyes opened to the pain of chlorine, my vision blurred. My hands reached and moved and looked. Using my hands as eyes, my ears hearing only the swooshing, I feel some swift movement. "Anna!!" I think. Moving closer and closer I find a hand, and pull. I pull and pull, my arms aching every second.
