Riley and I managed to find a really nice spot that was almost all the way up the hill to have our picnic and go looking for the stuff we needed for class. And the spot we picked had the most amazing view of the city. It was awesome. Riley's dad sent us to the right place. I smiled at him and looked around, "Your dad was right. This place is beautiful." I walked to the edge of the hill, or tiny mountain, and looked down. We were up higher than I thought. I swallowed and took a few steps back. Wouldn't want to tumble to my death, would I...
I looked around the clearing and saw a break in the trees. I squinted my eyes and pointed, "Is that a pond down there?" That would be so nice if it was. It was kind of hot and I'd brought my swim suit with me in case we decided to take a dip. I didn't let Mama and Daddy know that I might go swimming with a boy, alone, but at least I was prepared and wasn't going to go skinny dipping with him. Unless he asked. But Riley was a nice guy and I doubted he would do that. At least, I didn't think he would.
I grabbed my backpack and smiled at Riley as he grabbed his, "Maybe we could eat down there, too?" He nodded and grabbed the basket as we headed down the hill. I was a little ahead of Riley so when I realized that it was a pond, I turned and smiled, "It is a pond! Maybe we can go swimm-" But nothing else managed to get out of my mouth, because I wasn't looking where I was going and I lost my footing. I felt myself fall down and land with a hard thud on the ground, but I didn't stop. I began rolling down the hill. I tried to shield my face with my arms as best I could.
When I finally came to a stop, it was so sudden that it jarred my teeth. I'd smacked into a large rock by the side of the pond and my whole body ached because of it. I just stayed where I was for a few minutes and taking deep breaths. I didn't think anything was broken, at least I hoped it wasn't. It wasn't much longer before Riley was right beside me, panting and asking if I was alright. I gave him a nod and said, "I think so....just really embarrassed."
