Splashy Summers at Crestwood High

It was a steaming hot day with extra daylight. The sun appeared as if it was planning to roast everyone up just like dumplings in a steamer. In the scorching solar conditions, the flowers were growing quite nicely and were giving a mesmerizing look to the landscape. Pink, orange, and yellow cape daisies were the only flowers blooming brightly. The vibrantly colored Lantana flowers gave a breathtaking sight to the blazing hot day.  They were puffy, pastel-colored Hydrangeas growing in a bushy shrub. The brilliant blue Pansies were very droopy as they grow better in cool weather.

Right next to the puffy, pastel-colored Hydrangeas was the massive building of Crestwood High where two teens named Ava Max and Taylor Allison Swift learned. Ava was an American girl who had straight long blonde hair and liked wearing jet black and tight-fitted t-shirts and ripped jeans. Taylor was an American girl as well had baby brown curly hair and liked to wear white t-shirts with black shorts. “I love to sing but this weather is killing me!’’ moaned Ava. “You took the words right out of my mouth!” exclaimed Taylor. “Hey want to play a game where we describe each other’s personality? Asked Ava. “Sure, I think you are ambitious” Taylor replied with full confidence. “I am pretty sure you are a very kind and generous person” replied Ava with a blast of energy. “But most importantly we are cool! Declared the two friends in unison.

Both the friends wanted to beat the heat because of the extreme conditions. Suddenly a brilliant idea struck Ava “You know we both are pretty good swimmers”. “So???” asked Taylor in utter confusion. Ava gave her a ‘you know what’ look. “Oh! I get it you’re saying we can swim the heat off!” announced Taylor with a knowing look. “Exactly now you are talking sense”. Said Ava delighted. “So, what are you waiting for let’s have some fun in the sun” screamed Taylor.

The two girls rushed home to grab their swimsuits when they realized their swimsuits didn’t fit them anymore! “Oh no” wailed Taylor “What will we do now?” “Oh, calm down Taylor we can’t handle anything until we are calm and not stressed or worried” scolded Ava. “Fine! Tell me this brilliant plan of yours” yelled Taylor disapprovingly. Though Taylor was simply trying to express that she was angry at the way her friend tried to take control of the situation. “Please just listen I have an idea” Ava requested. I guess I should give her a second chance thought Taylor. “Okay what’s the plan?” asked Taylor.

Ava revealed her brilliant plan to Taylor which included her credit card, the store Zara, and a bunch of gift cards. Quicker than a tiger the two teens sped to Zara and shopped for some swimming costumes which they got an extra discount on because of the gift card. Ava bought an aqua blue swimsuit with glitter and Taylor bought a plain pink swimsuit.

Now that they had their costumes they got a giant splash into the pool. They talked and splashed for what seemed like 1,00,00,000 years.
