FISH
FRIEND
chapter
three
"Where the flipping heck
did you get a waterproof camera?" I asked Jessie shocked. In
our town the only shops we have are a small corner shop and a
seaside rent shop (sells surfboards and all that stuff) quite
near the seaside. It doesn't really sell that sort of
'high tech stuff'.
"Haven't you ever heard of EBay?" Jessie said as if
I was stupid.
"Well obviously I have! We should get going to take these
pictures if we see anything. I'm so excited!" I really
was was excited, like if the 'mermaid', was actually mum,
it would make no sense.
We walked to the seaside about half a mile away from Jessie's
house. We reached the seaside and suddenly, I just remembered
something.
"Oh no! I just forgot something.."
"And what would that be" said Jessie rolling her eyes
and sighing.
"I can't swim. You can't swim. How are we supposed
to swim all the way down there, with just a swimming costume and
no swimming experience (apart from my experience the other
day)."
"Okay so we obviously can't go. How about we walk to the
leisure Centre and see about a swimming lesson?"
"Yea sure! I really do regret not taking the offer school
gave me of going to swimming lessons. We wouldn't have to do
all of this if I could swim!" I said, once again, easily
annoyed.
"We have this whole summer to go to swimming lessons, so we
should be great at it before school is back. But we should only
need a few lessons until we can go to the sea, right?"
"Yep!"
We walked to the leisure Centre to see about swimming lessons. We
walked in the leisure Centre rushing over to the reception,
"Hi, we would like to apply for swimming lessons." I
said eagerly.
"Okay you will need to fill in this consent form and a
parent's signature, is your parent here?" said the lady
behind the counter, with enormous spectacles on. She looked like
a fish with them on. No joke. Especially her nose, it was fish
shaped. Weird. I think I'm getting slightly obsessed with
this fish thing.
"No our parents aren't here." I said disappointed.
I looked at her with my best puppy dog eyes.
"Aw, honey. Don't worry, how about you take your consent
forms (the both of you), bring them here tomorrow, and I will see
what I can do!" Said the fish-faced lady with googol
specs.
We ran out while shouting "Thanks!" with are consent
forms in out hands.
We ran home keen to get our consent forms signed and what not, by
our parents. My dad wasn't too sure about me taking swimming
lessons.
"Annie darling, I don't think you could go to this
swimming lessons thing, I know your really enthusiastic and all
to go, but we can't afford that sort of thing." Dad said
trying to disappoint me.
"Aw no dad PLEASE. i really have to, it will really come in
handy it is very useful. What if I nearly drown again? If I go to
swimming lessons then maybe I won't drown!"
"Look, I don't want you going near water."
At that moment I felt so frustrated. How in the world was I going
to see the 'mermaid' again if I can't swim.
I'll sleep on it.
