“Hurry up Ethan!” I roll my eyes and jog towards my friend. When I reach him he hits me and yells “You’re it!” Suddenly he is gone, running towards the playground. I chase after him, swerving around the trampoline. Today is not the day to try and run on a trampoline. My friend Jonathan criss-crosses between the picnic tables heading for the balance boards. I go the opposite direction and climb into the green tube at the very back of the area. The green tube is so cool, you can look through the holes and see the whole field. I spot Johnathan sitting on one of the color checkers. Perfect! I crawl to the end of the tube and go down the ladder, dodging a bucket of sand going up the pulley. I sneak around the sandbox getting closer to the checkers. …show more content…
You’re it now!” I yell before sprinting to the monkey bars. I climb up on top of the monkey bars but Jonathan is right on my tail. I slip between the bars and fall onto the trampoline under me. My heart is racing when I stand up. That was incredibly fun. Before I can start running Jonathan tackles me to the ground. “Ha! I win! I am the champion!” I look up to see him doing a victory dance. “Okay, okay you won. Geese.” I stand up and rub the shoulder I fell on. “C’mon let’s go jump on the trampoline. Race ya!” Jonathan sprints to the other side of the park. How can he have so much energy? Dusting off my pant I turn around to go sit on a bench. I wish these seats had cousins. Just image how comfy those would be. “Are you coming or not!” Johnathan voice carries of, going up and down from the jumps. “No I want to rest.” I scream back. Ouch, my knee is scraped from when I got tackled. I stand up to walk over to the trampoline, I don’t want Jonathan to be mad at me. Before I get there my mom honks the horn one her car, time to go
They'd gotten lunch from the local takeaway, a burger and chips each, and had headed to their usual spot, the top of the Jumping Rock, at Dead Man's Pool. The Lagoon had received its infamous naming due to to many deaths that had occurred there over the years, where many teens, usually high or drunk, dared each other to jump from the cliff face to the icy water between the large, jagged stones. After the deaths of over 10 teens over the span of two decades, the cliff had been fenced off by the Sheriff, with large WARNING and DO NOT ENTER signs plastered everywhere. The teens, however, just like they always had done, ignored the signs and crawled through the large gap in the corner of the fence and walked the familiar path up to the top of the Jumping
Mayor Wilson just waved his hand and went back into his house. “Luci! Lets go frolic in the Rainbow field!” I yelled. Luci and I ran as fast as we could to the field.
“We easily got this” Dylan shouted at me over from first base “I know we just gotta get three outs” I hollered back The first pitch was a strike right up the middle no chance for me or derek to get to, on the very next pitch the runner stole second base. “Lets bounce back boys” Coach yelled from the bench.
He nods and we army crawl until we get to the rocky road, then we sprint to behind the chapel. We are out of breath but then we saw a dark shape moving towards us. We just thought it was another smuggler, so I say, “Find Jonathan yet?” Then he turns on a red light and our expressions change from casual to
I mean, we haven’t won a single game! And I’m kind of getting tired of it!” “Yeah, I know what you mean.” He replies There is a slight pause. then a grin breaks out on his face.
I was going to my friend Aidan's house because we wanted to hang out So, when I got there old him something stupid. “I want to do the death jump” He cowered in fear “what” he said in a raspy voice “Dude don't do it last time a.j did it he broke his leg and had to get stitches on his head. I was scared, but I knew I had to do it, I sighed and said, “I’m nobody unless i'm somebody.”
I assure you, the torture will soon be over!’ He laughed, but before he could utter another word, the fallen and battered body leapt to its
“Honestly I’ve never been big into sports but maybe…baseball?” “Baseball it is!” We ended up at the baseball stadium and sat as close to the top as we could. “So this is what you do to pass time?”
I can see the hot, watery sweat dripping down Lexi’s face. Sprinting down and up the field causes Lexi’s face to turn bright red like a tomato. Lexi and I push through the heat and persevere to try and win the final game, but with three minutes left we might not have enough time. As the other team starts with the ball Lexi and I give each other a look and at the top of her lungs Lexi screams ‘GOOO” and sprints down the field rushing to the ball.
Moments later, our chutes were riddled in bulletholes and we began crashing towards the ground below. “I’m fine it just hurts a ton!” He yelled with intermissions of pain induced grunts. I start to rip my sleeve off and wrap it around his leg. “You had a pretty rough landing and knocked yourself out like a dumbass.
They unknowingly play on the fence of the bull run track. Dasher scoffed at the idea, and said “I hate bulls. The only way I like them is boil them, mash them or put them in a stew like potatoes.” Frank used the fence as a tightrope and said “Why man? You mad.”
I had just hit a homerun! My dad said as I passed by him, “Nice hit. ”I didn’t stop running though it didn’t faze me until I had got in the dugout. Everyone had congratulated me on my
My passion for track and field began with a Nike advertisement. At age ten, I opened the newspaper to a two-page spread of the hometown distance running legend Steve Prefontaine overlaid by a paragraph of inspirational copy. It concluded asking, “Where is the Next Pre?” The story of his small town Oregon roots, gutsy racing style, and ambition to be the best resonated with me like nothing ever had before. I told myself I was the next Pre, and then tore off for my first run through the streets of Eugene, Oregon – “Tracktown USA”.
"Up here," I yelled, getting her attention. She notices me and climbs the tree across from the tree I was sitting against. " Holy crap, Destiny! You-" "Look like shit? Yeah, I feel it too," I say.
