Chapter 5 : Saved by the boys
Tyson, Kenny, Max and Ray tore across the bridge and leaned over the railing, where the girls fell."Would now be a good time to tell you guys I can't swim?" Tyson asked, as Ray lifted himself over the railing.Max was about to jump over as well, when they heard another splash.They saw Kai swimming over to where the girls went under, and then dive under as well."Hopefully we won't drown with them!" Ray said, before diving into the river."I hope they'll be all right..." Kenny said quietly, watching Tyson chase the gang of boys around."C'mon, it's Ray and Kai! Everyone will be fine!" Max reassured.Pointing down to the side of the river, he said, "C'mon we can go pull them out!""Lets hurry!" Kenny agreed, as they ran across the bridge.
Rika hit the water with a splash, the freezing cold water swirling around her. Opening her eyes she saw Sasha ahead of her, floundering around. 'I can swim! I'm not gonna drown! Don't panic!' Rika yelled in her head. Flipping around, she saw the surface above them. Kicking against the current, she noticed Sasha begin to drop downwards, clawing frantically at the water. 'She does know how to swim, right?' Rika thought, feeling panic begin to surge through her.Suddenly, someone came into her field of vision, swimming down toward Sasha. Before Rika could remember to start kicking again, arms slipped around her and someone began doing the kicking for her. Rising toward the surface, they broke through it, Rika coughing and spluttering. Sasha and her saviour came up right beside them, gasping for air.Rika nearly went under again as she saw it was Kai.The person behind her began pulling her toward shore and Rika numbly began kicking again. Reaching the side, a blonde boy grabbed her arms."Hi, I'm Max!" he called, pulling her up."Why are you talking to me?" Rika half cried, half coughed, collapsing on the grass."I heard you're supposed to talk to people when they're drowning!" he said, helping his friend up.Rika turned over, watching a small boy tug Sasha up onto the grass. Kai quickly pulled himself out after her.Turning again, Rika looked at who had saved her. She rolled her eyes at the black haired boy as he plopped down next to her."Well, you seem fine for someone who was drowning a few seconds ago." He panted. "Whatever..." Rika muttered brushing away a piece of hair stuck to her forehead.Sasha gave a goofy grin, as she lay sprawled out on the grass. "She couldn't be nice even if you had just saved her from the apocalypse!" she gasped."HEY, IS EVERYONE OK?" a voice cried.Tilting her head, Rika saw the boy with the hat come charging towards them."Just peachy..." Kai grumbled."Everyone's fine!" Max said."That's good..." Kenny said, sitting down."Hey, I haven't thanked you yet!" Sasha cried, sitting bolt upright, "Hi, I'm Sasha, nice to meet you!" she said, sticking out a hand to Kai.Kai stared at her face then her hand. "Kai." He said simply, turning away.Rika glanced at the boy beside her. "Thanks." She said."I'm Ray." The boy replied, holding out a hand. "Rika." She said, shaking his hand."And I'm Tyson!" the boy with the hat said, jerking a thumb at himself."My name's Kenny or you can call me the Chief." The small boy said."I'm Max!" the blonde boy said."Hi Ray, Hi Tyson, Hi Kenny, Hi Max! Nice to meet you!" Sasha cried.Rika rolled her eyes. Sasha could be so perky and cheerful at the best of times."I'm going back to the hotel." Rika said simply, standing up.Sasha blinked then stood up as well. "Yeah, I need to change. I feel like a drowned rat or something!""We'll accompany you! Who knows how many more punks will try to push you into a river!" Max said, sounding like the police."Lets go." Sasha said, pointing toward the hotel. "I'm freezing and I have to use the bathroom!" she yelled
