CHAPTER 7

SOMETHING NEW

Sputtering for air, Riley came up to the water’s surface. All the other guys crowded around him, laughing. “Blake had to push him in,” one of them said.

Riley felt his face turn hot. He swam toward the edge of the lake.

Blake jumped off the cliff and landed in the water nearby. When he popped his head out of the water, he was laughing.

“Where are you going, Riley?” Blake asked. “I know you’re not jumping again, since you needed a push to jump in the first place.” He swam toward Riley, smiling.

“Don’t talk to me,” Riley said angrily. “I’m going home.”

Blake looked surprised. “Why?” he asked. “I was just having a little fun.”

“Well, it wasn’t fun,” Riley said. “Seriously. I could have been hurt, or worse. You can’t just push people in like that!” he yelled.

Riley looked over Blake’s shoulder. The older guys were watching them, laughing.

“Come on, Blake,” one of them yelled. “We’re going up to the cliff again. Let your little friend go home and cry to his mommy.”
