Finding The Real Me

Chapter 24

Arena

"Man this is really hard to do." I said looking at the water. "I told you it isn't easy." I heard David say and I looked over at him and saw him sitting at the edge of the river watching me.

"Yeah I know but I didn't think it would be this hard." I looked back at the water and watched the fish swim by me. After a while of watching them I decided to give it another try.

I picked a pry "I got you now!" I went to catch it but my foot slipped on the mood at the bottom of the river. But before I fell all the way into the water something grabbed my arm and help me regain my balance.

"I swear your the biggest klutz I have ever meet." I looked back and saw David there. "Thanks..." "I'll catch the fish you start getting ready to cook them." "No! I want to catch the fish."

"If we do that we will be eating in three days." "Yeah your right..." I looked back down at the water, but still I would like to catch at least one. I heard David sighed behind me.

"Okay fine I'll help you out." "Huh?" "Okay first thing you should do is hold still as much as possible." I did what he told me. "Then watch the fish and see how there movement works."

"Okay..." I watched the fishes movement. "Now when you go to catch one don't aim right at it, aim where it's going to be." "Okay..." I watch the fish but I couldn't figure out where I should grab at.

"Here I'll help you." He grabbed my wrist and leaned in close to me. My heart started to pound all of a sudden. What's getting into me, it's just David. "Okay you ready?" "Y-yeah."

"Okay now!" With David's help I stuck my hand in the water and caught a fish. "Yea I did it!" I looked at David "look I got a fish!" He smiled "your such a child." "I am not!"

"Whatever you say. Now that you've caught a fish will you let me do the rest?" "Yeah, Ill go find firewood." I started to head out of the water. "Arena you know I don't like you going on your own."

"You worry to much, I'll be fine." Before he could argue anymore I went into the woods.
