crazy day at the pool

i am not a pool (swimming kind) junkie by any means. i do enjoy going though every once in a while. we had an activity in my church where they rented out this pool that had a couple of slides, an adult area, diving boards, a little lazy river, and a kid area. even though my roommates did not want to stay and play, i did. i brought my swim trunks, excited to have a legitimate reason to take off my shirt in public. due to the fact that my rude roommates left me i was there by hanging out by myself for a little bit. i will be the first to admit that i looked like somewhat of a creep just roaming around the pool all by myself. i had to do something. the slides were calling my name, so i made the journey up the stairs. when i got to the top i noticed that i had some belly button lint lingering in my belly button. i quickly and discretely picked it out and flicked it. as i watched it fly away, i noticed the wind caught it and strategically placed it on a random girl. i turned my head and pretended nothing happened. one little piece of lint isn't going to hurt anybody. after this belly button lint adventure i saw some friends and joined them. we had a blast. we went down the slides and then went to the water-dropping buckets. the buckets were high in the air and were different colors. they would randomly drop water down and what we did was try and be the one under the bucket when the water fell. it was entertaining. next came the umbrella, where a continuous stream of water came down. as we were enjoying ourselves, a little monster (girl) came and tried to tag us or get us. she was probably eight or so. we entertained her for a while and had some fun. as i was taking a breather, i felt this hard punch on my leg, as if a jellyfish had stung me. i looked down and low and behold this little devil child was laughing. that was it. i had had enough. i started splashing her with water and took no regard for human life. we grew sick of this little girl so we decided it was time to join the big people pool and go diving. this girl was like velcro, she followed us there. i was in the pool and this kid pushed in my friend erin. the demon child then spoke, "that kid is stupid, and kinda cute." after she pronounced those words i saw it is my opportunity to get rid of her. i started chanting "someones got a crush" over and over again. she strapped on her goggles and informed us that her dad is the bishop over all these people. as she left i felt terrified and come to find out they came looking for me but i had gone to ride the slides one last time. if he had caught me that night, i might not have been alive to write this piece. after that all went down, it was time to go home. i got a ride home from melissa, erin, and ashley. this girl had asked them if she could get a ride home too because the people she had gone with had already ditched her. melissa, being the nice girl that she is politely said she could. this new girl sat in the back, in the middle, right next to me. as we pulled out of the parking lot, some boys waved and of course all the girls i was riding with started to comment about how cute they were. this girl next to me opened her mouth and started to casually speak; "i couldn't get a guy to talk to me here even if i flashed him." i was shocked and felt a little uncomfortable. i scooted away from her slightly and was speechless. that was the weirdest car trip home i had ever experienced and was grateful that it quickly came to an end. i had one memorable evening at the pool.
