"So I have not become the perfect personification of everything that is scared" I say looking at him and he waves his hand, he waves the matter aside as he shoots me a decidedly deadly stare.
"I am not going to engage in this argument with you, I'm not going to engage in this argument at all, it is either you jump down or you let me go down the slide first"
"Be scared!!!" I say almost pleading with him but he shakes his head.
"I am not scared. Now will you move aside".
I actually have to move aside, i have to move aside because I am scared of my younger brother, he could do something eratic, he could do something eratic like jumping over my head and I am sure that he will break his neck if he tries that.
He is wearing a goofy grin on his face, he is wearing a goofy grin on his face as he practically jumps down and you can hear his excited laugh as it slides down the waterslide.
There's water running down this thing, there's water running down this thing, it is a light trickle, well not so light but still you can get what I mean, there will naturally be water running down a water slide, that is the whole essence of putting the water before the slide but yet to me it looks almost like a river is rushing past me.
It looks like a river is raging down and I have to tell myself that this is not a river, this is not a river, there no rocks down there, there are no fishes down there, there's only the water, and the slide, and the fear that has asserted itself firmly in my heart.
The only thing that I need to overcome is the fear and I will.
"Go down, or I will seriously push you in the next five minutes if you do not make up your mind".
Oakley whispers this into my ears and she pats me on my back.
I'm guessing this is revenge, this is the revenge I get for making her feel embarrassed before as it is my turn to feel embarrassed now.
A five-year-old can go down the slide, I'm sure that everyone else behind me is grumbling in frustration right now, a three-year-old can go down the slide, okay I highly doubt that because three-year-olds aren't even allowed on the slide but still, I'm being a child.
I'm being a little child here, a literal child who does not want to go down the slide but will not let anyone else to go down.
"You guys should go down before me" I say and I look back to my friends.
Clay is looking conflicted. I know that he enjoys this, he enjoys this sort of activity but yet whenever it is without me, he looks sad.
Eras has a smiling look on his face, he has a smiling look on his face and I know that he will not go down.
Oakley jumps without hesitation.
