100WC-Week #23 Sink OR Swim by Yoanna

This week's prompt: RED LADDER SINKING COINS PAVEMENT

Sink or Swim

By Yoanna

I gasped at the seemingly bottomless freezing water below. When I had spent my COINS on an afternoon at the pool to escape the boiling summer heat, I did not plan to be SINKING, flailing, and making a complete fool of myself in the deep end! I planned to relax in the shallow end, with my toes always skimming the smooth as PAVEMENT pool bottom. Then my friends completely ruined my plans! Maya and Emilia dragged me up the LADDER to the RED water slide. “I demand my COINS back!” I protested. Too late! Lucia grinned...and pushed me down.
