The Water Slide at Great Wolf Lodge By Natalie Aggarwal 2L

I slowly climbed up the stairs. I was nervous but excited too. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Rebecca said. “Yes!!”

As I walked up I heard kids counting 1, 2, 3 and then they disappear. My hands were shaking. My legs were shaking. “Do you want to do it?” I asked. “No!!” Rebecca screamed. My mom decided that she would go first. 1,2,3 and she’s gone. Can I really do this? I thought. I stepped closer and closer to the door. “Don’t do it!” yelled Rebecca. But I was already on my way. 1, 2, 3, slip “Ah!!”Water was in splashing on my face. I opened my eye and saw the pink and purple slide around me. I swung around the slide, woosh, woosh, woosh! I felt happy and proud. The water all around me felt good.

It was all over fast. “Yay!” said my mom. “Good job!” said Rebecca. I got up and felt dizzy. “Don’t do that again!” I did not.

“Are we there yet?” I asked for the hundredth time.

“Not yet.”

Ugh. My mom was taking me shopping for school supplies and I couldn’t wait because it was my first time. I was so busy thinking I didn’t realize we were there. I opened the car door leaped out. As I walked inside, I was met by a cold blast of air from the air conditioner. Where should I start with so many things to choose from? Let’s start with notebooks. The search was on. I flipped around and found a nice patterned, turquoise one. I brushed my fingers across the smooth cover. Great. Next I skipped to where the binders were and started searching, to come across a patterned white one. Yes. Now for markers and pencils. I picked my favourite coloured Sharpies, some blue pencils, and a few glittery erasers. Last of all, I selected a white pencil case that had turquoise flowers on it with silver writing. I heard my tummy growl. Lunch time! School supply shopping is hard work.
