Reservoir
The next morning, Priyan and I went to Lake Emma to go swimming like we had planned yesterday. We had brought Rex with us since he had nothing to do because Jesse was called into work that morning. I felt a little worried, since an otter kid drowned in the same lake not too long ago.
I took off my shirt and stepped into the shallows of the water. It was cold, but refreshing. I started swimming in a circular motion. I had almost made a full revolution when I heard a splash beside me. I turned around and saw a figure in the water. The figure splashed right up, covering me in water.
"Nothing like the wet and wild feeling of swimming around!" Rex laughed
I looked over to see Priyan, floating on his back with his arms splayed to his sides. He seemed to be floating perfectly. I swam over to him. I looked over at his body, his chest was all puffed out.
"You're good at that." I tell him
"What? Floating?"
"Yea."
"Thanks. It's just something I can do." Priyan says "Want me to teach you?"
