You Just Can't Give up

It was the first day of summer vacation after 8th grade and only one thing was on Katies mind. That day she was supposed to meet Chris and Gordie at the lake to swim for the day. Katie quickly got her bathsuit on and put clothes over top, brushed her short curly brown hair and put it in a pony tail. She ran down stair to get something to eat real quick since she was running a bit late, and there was nothing really to eat, she grabbed an apple off the counter and headed out the door.

She walked passed Chris' house, 'maybe he already left' Katie thought. she started walking a little bit faster

"BOO!" Katie screamed at the top of her lungs and jumped back, tripping and falling over. "hah- I got you!" Chris said while helping her up.

"That wasn't funny!!" she yelled back.

"oh, yes. It was." Chris said back, still laughing.

"fuck you." was all she said back. They walked the rest of the way to the lake together in silence.

Chris, Gordie, and Katie have been great friends for about four years, right after Katie had moved in down the street from Chris with her parents and two siblings. Since they had moved in, one of her siblings had been sent to jail. It hadn't bothered Katie or her sister, Sarah, alot since they really didn't like their brother anyway. Sarah, on the other hand, was the prettier one in the family. She was about 2 years older than katie, had hazel eyes with straight brown hair and perfect skin. Unlike Katie who had kind of frizzy curly brown hair, brown eyes, and not so perfect skin. Often times, Katie wish she looked, no, WAS her sister. In Katies eyes, her sister was perfect.

"GORDIE!!" Katie yelled. She has adhd and gets overly excited over WAY tomany things, which was another flaw she had that Sarah didn't have. She started running towards Gordie but tripped, again. But as she was falling she was doing some kind of fish dance?? I dont know what you would call it, but she finally landed on the ground and started rolling around in the dirt laughing. Chris and Gordie couldn't help but laugh. Their friend was crazy, and they could care less.

"wow,,your such a freak," Chris said teasingly "I bet I can beat you to the lake." Katie got up in the prairie dog stance while narrowing her eyes on the lake. Chris and Gordie had already started running towards the lake and Katie started running too, almost like a lizard. If that makes sence. It made perfect sence to her. She finally reached the lake, and the boys had almost made it to the middle by now.

"I MADE IT!! well huzzah, huzzah...what the fu- they beat me?! huh, stick a tube up my butt and feed me crack..." The two boys were trying to swim back out of the deep water, it was getting tad bit hard for them to stay above the water when they were laughing so hard. The whole time they could hear Katie talking. This was something normal for her, the whole talking to herself about stuff that makes no sence part.

They swam until the sun started to go down, then they decided to start heading home. About half way to Gordies house Katie started dancing for no reason. This is the normal Katie, mind you.

"your so stupid" Gordie said.

"shu'p, mother idiots...you just dont know how to have funnnn" and awkward silence came upon them. They got to Gordies house and they waved good bye.

"well, today was fun" Chris said. He must have been tired or something, he could barely walk straight and was talking really slowwwww, but it was only 7..hmm..anyhoo..

"yeah..except for the fact that you guys kept laughing AT me"

"we were laughing WITH you, not at you"

"I dont remember laughing, dumbass" She said in a joking kind of way. Katie didn't curse alot, well..she kind of did. She will randomly say something sometimes just to say it. It was quiet for a little bit. Katie loved it when she was with Chris. They could tell eachother everything, except one thing. She loved him.
