It was the first day of summer and I was already bored so I called my friends: Kermit, Melody, Tina and Ari, on a group all and when they finally answered I asked them “ Hey guys do you want to meet at the water park” they all agreed, so we hung up, asked our parents for permission and then got ready. I wore a purple t-shirt with a flower design and some comfortable white shorts that were a little baggy. I went downstairs to get my shoes and get in the car but before I could my mom asked “ aren’t you going to a water park, why are you wearing a t-shirt and shorts instead of a swim suit” I responded with the answer of “ I don’t like wearing swim suits” my mom just shook her head and said pointed towards the car to signal to get in it. We got in the car and put on some music, we ran into some traffic but within 15 minutes we were there. My mom kept obnoxiously pressing the lock button on her keyless entry remote. I saw the others and waved and said “hey” they said the same and something caught my eye in the background, it was the most beautiful thing, they were: Water Guns. I said “guys look behind Melody” they all did, and they gasped, and then challenged to race to the water guns. Tina said “last one there is a rotten egg” we all ran like we were being chased by Slender man. I wasn’t surprised that Tina won because she was tiny and fast, right after Melody came in second, after her I came in third, after me Ari came after, and in last place the “rotten egg” was Kermit. Ari “said Kermit is the rotten egg”. We all started chanting “Kermit is a rotten egg”, Kermit looked at us in a scolding way and said “whatever”. After about 1 minute she grabbed a water gun and started spraying us. We all gasped and grabbed water guns then ambushed Kermit. I guess Tina wanted to make things interesting but she’s a traitor because she started spraying us to. We all eventually “betrayed” each other and split up, since I was tall my hiding spot was trash but I was hiding in a slide (it hurt my back) but when I heard loud, fast running I stopped breathing praying to god that whoever it was didn’t go on the slide. I peeped my head out of the slide and saw Tina. She was saying “come out come out wherever you are” my stomach literally dropped because I can’t out run her she’s really fast, so I was kind of dying. She climbed up the slide, and without thinking I hit her with a water gun but she dodged it so I just started ambushing her as if she was my worst enemy. She eventually just ran away and tried to find someone else. After a few minutes I got bored so I called them to meet up we met up at the area where it’s just a pool. I said “I’m bored and I have an idea, what if we do a challenge”. Melody said “what kind of challenge”? I said “what if it’s like a survival thing, and if you get sprayed with a water gun by anyone you’re out of the challenge”. Kermit said “ I like the idea but we need a prize if we win”. Tina is insane so she said “the prize should be 1000$ dollars”. We all of course wanted that 1000$ so we acted like we were in the hunger games, or a survival show. I counted down and said” 3… 2…1…” “GO”. We all ran to hiding spots and I hid in a slide again but a different slide. I saw Kermit trying to find a hiding spot, so I took the chance to spray her with water. She saw my water gun stick out the slide, she tried to spray me but she was to slow. I immediately turned on my super speed mode and made sure my aim was so good I could make a bullseye on a target. I got a headshot on her, she said “ curse you Mia” and then fell really dramatically, she acted like she got hit with a bullet. I found a new hiding spot just incase she decided to be a little cheater and tell them where I was. While I was doing that on the other side of the water park a situation was happening. Melody was hiding in the lazy river of course holding her water gun because we’re serious about the prize that you get if you win, but anyways, Tina was running around and saw Leia she pulled out her water gun, but little did she know Melody had already saw her so she had her water gun pointing at Tina to. They did this awkward thing of just staring at each other, but after a while Melody just sprayed her because that’s the smart thing to do. Tina got mad then screamed and then also fell over dramatically like Kermit did and the stopped breathing. She eventually got up and met up with Kermit and they talked, I just don’t know what they were talking about. Now it’s just down to me, Melody, and Ari. I find another hiding spot in the pool but it was a crowded pool. I saw Melody so I quickly refilled my water gun and took a deep breath, then went under water. She didn’t see me so when she was walking, so I rose out of the water quickly and tried to spray her but she dodged it. I was so shocked, I thought to myself “I never saw anyone dodge a water gun spray”. She quickly tried to spray me back but then I thought fast and dodged it to. Little did we know we forgot about Ari so she sneaked up on us and sprayed Melody. She literally was shocked that she just froze and turned around slowly, then just fell to the ground not dramatically, just screaming in silence. So now it’s just me and Ari looking at each other as if we are about to go to war. We grab our water guns in sync and then stare at each other for a good 40 seconds. Then one of us makes a move that could win us 1000$ she sprayed me but I quickly dodged it. She used her last bit of water so she was out of water. I saw a chance so I took it, she was looking at her water gun seeing if she had just a little bit of water left, but I sprayed her. Before she could do anything the water hit her. She had a facial expression of somebody who just lost 1000$, oh wait she did. She fell very dramatically and then screamed “ HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME”. I laughed victoriously and then did a little dance of happiness. Then sang “ I won 1000$, I won 1000$, I’m a winner” . All of my friend clapped except for Ari because she was super mad, but I didn’t really care. Ari got so mad and she tried to push me in the pool, but before I fell I grabbed her hand and she went in with me. She climbed out of the pool whining “MY HAIR”. I did another victory dance because I won 1000$.
And that’s the story of how I won 1000$ from a water gun challenge.
