“He stands behind me and gives me little pushes. We sit there in silence watching the guys goof off and Heath take pictures of them. I yelp when Stark grabs the chains of the swing making me stop. He laughs because I jumped. I look back at him trying to look mean. Not working. He just smiles and I feel butterflies. I poke his stomach and he lunges for me. I sqeal and run from the swing set. I run for the jungle gym but Stark is faster. He grabs me from behind and picks me up. He puts me back down and I turn around to face him. Then, thats when I hear the clicks of the camera. Heath has been taking pictures. Me and Stark step away from eachother at the same time. We left the park after a couple more hours of goofing off. We went to this beach next. I didnt bring my bathing suit so I sat on the sand that had been put here because this is Missouri. I had Heath and I's camera. I watched as the boys were dunking each other. The they started flipping eachother and it looked so cool. I got in”
