The twins howled at that like two morons. And then they ran towards the little trail between the trees to get to the Creek.

I looked over at Alex, both of our eyes going all "We're so racing this" and then next thing I knew I slid out of my shoes and ran towards the trail like a maniac.

Alex, who had been a little further away than me, easily caught up and now, we were racing side by side, pushing each other towards the trees, slapping branches in our faces, and trying to make the other trip with our feet.

I could hear other people running behind us but I didn't care. What I did care about was getting to the deck before Alex.

And then we reached the end of the trail and I could see Trevor and Cameron jumping in the water with all their clothes on.

I had been smart enough to put my bikini under mine, so as I ran toward the deck, I took my shirt off and then pushed Alex again in the trees as hard as I could, and skipped to get out of my jeans.

And then I ran on the wooden deck, and without knowing if the water was warm or freezing I dove into the Creek.

The second my skin touched the water, I wanted to gasp.

It was simply freezing. I mean, I knew I would get use to it, still the shock was there.

But I ignored the cold and stayed under water, swimming away from the deck, trying to hold my breath as long as I could. And then I pushed myself up with my legs, only now aware that I was deeper than I had thought and then my head finally emerge from the water and I took a big breath.

I pushed my hair away from my face and looked around, seeing the twins trying to push each other under water, and then I saw Alex's head coming out.

"I WON!!!" I yelled, swimming towards him, splashing water in his face.

Alex laughed and then splashed water back at me.

I let myself sink deep into the water, trying to reach the bottom, kicking the water with my legs and arm, but it was too deep so I glided back up.

I got spattered by water the second my head reached out, from Davis canon ball into the Creek.

Catherine was screaming in Mark's arm as he walked to the end of the deck holding her up to the water. And then he jumped with her.

Seconds later, Peter and Justin race on the deck and both dove in the water, followed by Jimmy.

Blake ran on the deck and front-flipped into the water, every guy cheering for him.

Show off...

Connor dove after him and after that Dwayne walked up, like Mark, with a screaming Janna in his arm.

"I swear Dwayne, if you drop me in the water I'm going to strangle you!! I don't want my hair to get all wet!!! Put me down!!!" she was yelling.

Dwayne made puppy eyes, but listened to her and set her on her feet on the deck.

"There's a thin line between being compassionate and being whipped Dwayne!" Blake yelled to him in the water.

"I'M COMING FOR YOU EATON!" Dwayne screamed back and then jumped, but of course he was a bad swimmer and Blake was already racing away from him.

"Someone get the middle line backer out of the water before we have to replace him!" Connor yelled.

"I'M FINE!" Dwayne screamed back, slowly swimming like a dog, his head sinking now and then.

I started to laugh at the scene but then something caught my ankle and sank me deep into the water, so fast, I barely had the time to take a good breathe.

My arms were struggling to get back to the surface, but whatever or more precisely whoever was pulling my ankle, wasn't letting go. I opened my eyes, and when the bubbles cleared out a bit I could see Blake swimming deeper, and really clearly smirking, which was kind of odd considering we were underwater...

Nevertheless I was pretty pissed... like what is he thinking trying to kill me or something?

I kept giving kicks, trying to release my leg, but Blake's hold just got stronger, and now, he was grabbing my hand too and pushing me deeper.

That's when I thought of a way to wipe that smug look off his face.

I knew I still had a good minute of air supply -I can hold my breath for ever- so then I stopped struggling completely, let out a few bubbles and stopped moving.

It took Blake about five seconds to realize what was happening, start to kind of freak out and then swim back up faster than I could have thought possible, towing me in the process.

Ha ha ha!

Take that, you bastard!

"LEXI!" was the first thing I heard when my head was out of the water.

Blake was holding my head out, holding my body like it was going to sink and when I opened my eyes he honestly looked frightened.

And I simply couldn't resist, so I started to laugh. That seemed to surprise him cause he kinda lost his grip on me and I sank a little, swallowing water in the process.

Everyone had swum towards us at this point, alarmed by Blake scream and my coughing water seemed to alert them even more but I ignore everyone screams.

"Oh my god! You should see your face!" I cough, still laughing.

"OH MY GOD LEXI! Are you alright?" Alex yelled swimming towards me "What the hell did you do?" he added, to Blake.

"I was just joking! How was I supposed to know she'd drown!" Blake yelled, still holding me in his arms, keeping my head out of the water.

"What's wrong with you?" Alex yelled back.

"God, you morons! I was just joking! I'm FINE, thank you!" I said and pushed Blake away and then swam towards the deck.

I hate it when people have a conversation about you but just freaking ignore you even though you're right there!!

Bunch of idiots!

I wanted to get out of the water but then I heard two high pitch voices coming from the trail.

"Oh my gawd! Is this some kind of swamp or something?" Stacey was saying.

"And what kind of deck is that? No sun chairs? This is ridiculous..." Miriam added.

Alright seriously what the hell were they doing here? I mean come on it's the freaking wood!!! What were they expecting?

"Come on girls show us your bikinis!" I heard Clark say and that obviously was the answer to my question... stupid hormonal jerks!!

And then I looked back at everyone and for a second it seemed we were all on the same page.

"First to reach the other side!" Davis yelled and the next second we were all racing away.

"Hey guys wait up!" Shawn yelled but no one turned their back.

Janna had even gotten in the water, her hairs tied into a tight bun on top of her head, and was swimming beside Dwayne, laughing at him actually but it was kinda cute.

I didn't wait any second and started to front crawl as far away from the deck as I could.

I concentrated on the movement of my arms and leg only, taking a breath every time my head got out of the water, and then I dove under and pushed myself faster. I loved the feeling you get when you swim under water, almost like your flying. The peace you feel when you're completely surrounded by it, like time has stop...

My lungs were almost empty of air and I slid back to the surface, and kept swimming but I heard someone call my name so I stopped.

"Lexi!!" Blake yelled again, and then he was beside me.

"Look, I didn't mean to drown you or anything, I'm sorry"

I frowned for a few seconds... alright... that's weird... Blake, actually apologizing...

"Well you really hurt my feelings alright!!" I said in an on-the-edge-of-crying tone, one I had so much practice with, you know to put the fault on Ty when we knock decoration thingy in the house while fighting. And of course I added the little quivering of the lips, like a little three year old getting his lollipop stolen.

Blake eyes widen, in fright I think.

Ha ha ha!

"Look, I'm really sorry..." he pleaded.

"Ha ha! SUCKER!" I yelled and then pushed the top of his head under water and swam away as fast as I could, laughing.

Blake didn't lose one second and raced after me. I tried to go faster but he was pretty fast. And then he caught my ankle again and pulled me back, not underwater though, so I kicked the water with my other leg, splashing his face.

"You dim-wit, didn't you learn your lesson!" I yelled at him and kicked water again.

"Ya well I won't fall for your fake drowning stunt again! Or poor acting skills!"

"Poor? Come on! You sooo believed it!" I answered, pushed his head again and swam away.

A few minutes later, we had all reached the other side of the Dump Creek, where there was a rocky hill, you know the kind you climb on top and jump down from, into the water. The only problem with this one was that it wasn't deep enough beside it, and if you jumped from it, you'd hurt yourself real bad. But the guys had found somewhere else to jump from; a hyper-high tree that had sort of a curve that reached further away from the rocky bank.

"Keep dog paddling Dwayne!" Justin suddenly yelled and I looked back and saw Dwayne obviously struggling to get to us.

You'd think after all these summers, swimming here, he'd know how to swim properly...

"When you'll be able to do your job and stop ONE wide receiver we'll talk about it!" Dwayne yelled back, and he had a hard time keeping his head out of the water.

All the guys laughed at that.

Ya, it was a common fact that Justin wasn't the best corner back there was...

Suddenly, I looked around me, thinking that Blake was going to do something, HAD to do something to get back at me but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Hey, so you're not coughing water anymore?" Connor asked, coming beside me.

"I was just trying to get that son of a bitch to stop, I wasn't actually drowning" I answered him, rolling my eyes.

"Well, you scared me!" Alex said, swimming towards me too.

"Ooooh I'm sorry papa bear!" I crooned, and then rolled my eyes again.

"DUDE!! YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" Cameron yelled, and when we all looked back, Blake was climbing in the high tree, but he was like really really high, like stupiditly high!

"Man! When you fall and break your neck, do I get your car?" Trevor yelled beside his brother.

"I want your spot in the team!" Peter yelled.

"You're going to have to run a whole lot faster to get my spot Petey-boy!" Blake screamed back at him and then his hands reached for a branch over his head, and he pulled himself higher.

What the hell was he thinking! That stupid jackass!

"I want your beer!" Cameron yelled.

Bunch of morons...

"You idiot! Are you trying to kill yourself?" I screamed at him.

Someone had to say the right thing!

He was going to kill himself!! That tree was high! And that Creek had a rocky bottom!

Why wasn't Mark saying something? Usually he was the reasonable one!

I looked around, but understood immediately; he wasn't paying attention to us, he was holding Catherine in his arm.

"YES! Goodbye cruel world!! I have no reason to live!" Blake said in a fake dramatic voice and then he jumped.

The guys all cheered.

I gasped.

Blake's feet touched the water first and all his body followed.

We all waited for his head to peek out of the creek but we just kept waiting and there was no Blake.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, still no Blake.

"I think I'm getting a lot of beer tonight..." Cameron whispered and then we all started to freak out...
