WALKING WATER
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, 6:30 am. I threw pillows at my dad until he got up and got dressed. I got dressed too, then i grabbed my 3 gallon jug. My dad and I drove up to Rocky Nook Park and were welcomed by Emma Millar. "You ready Lily?" "No, you ready Emma?" i said putting my jug on the picnic table. "Bye dad!" he waved bake to me and drove away. At least 20 minutes passed by until everyone was there and we were ready to go, then we did a puja and took off. Anya, Bella, and I decided that should stay together the whole time and If one of us stopped we all did. We weren't out of the parking lot yet and are shoulders aced from carrying the water on our heads. Dia, Oli, Me, Bella, and Anya took a break when we got out of the parking lot. "Jeez, that was hard" i said already sweating. "Ya, we are not even half of a quarter there!" Anya said resting her water down and panting. " Lets keep going guys!!" Bella said. For a most of the walk i but the water on my head, with a jacket under the jug. Bella would hold the jacket mean while Anya and I lifting up the bucket on too my head. Anya lifted her bucket up all by her self and the towel she had on her head, only fell once. "Bella, Bella, Bella!!' i screamed to her as my jug slipped on the ground with a big boom. " Oh my god, Lily, are you ok??!!" Bella put her bucket down and rushed to me. This was at the beginning of the walk and i dropped so many more times. When Anya and I saw a down hill we decided to role our jugs down the hill. Anya made sure that her jug stayed on the same beat as her walking, and made sure it did not go to far a head of her. On the other hand mine was way ahead of me. "No, no stop!!" i cried "Anya watch out!!" Anya stopped, forgetting that her water jug was a head of her, she stopped with my jug on her foot. Her jug flew up over a rock and hitting a bush violently. "Sorry" I said feeling really bad. Bella had lost half her water by the middle of the walk. When we finally saw school we all rushed across the street and put our jugs down in the parking lot "We did it!!" We all said as if we planned it. "Lily, Anya are you going to roll the water down the hill?" Bella asked. "No way" Anya said. I thought about it for a while then said "No, I think that it will get ahead of me, and beak." "Ya". I tired to put the water down for just a second to get my balance when it rolled down the hill fast i could not keep up. "CRAP!!" I yelled as it smashed against a bush bouncing around, the cap almost flying off. I finally cought up to the jug and stopped. Anya and Bella started to laugh and almost falling on the ground they were laughing so hard. When we got to school i open the half open cap and drank a lot of water. That was one of the hardest things i have ever done, how do they do this everyday twice as much more water and twice as much longer!
