Alone in the house, I waited for my parents to get home from work. It was a warm spring day, and we were going to go to the pool when they got home. My sister and I played games and watched TV. My parents came home around 2:30, and we got dressed and left for the pool. When we got to the “Greendrool Pool” it was very crowded. It turned out that today was their annual halloween party, and the whole town was there. By the time we got in, it was dark outside, and the pool was lit up with lights in the water. I could tell this was going to be a fun night. The pool as I jumped in was pretty cold, and packed. There was barely any room to jump in, but I somehow managed to jump into a gap. I stuck around and had a lot of fun with my friends Jimmy and Jeff. We messed around and kept chasing each other, like normal 10 year olds would do.”Bhrrttttt,” the whistle of the lifeguards sounded, signaling an adult swim only. I went to go to the bathroom, since I really needed to go, and I came out to the police around the pool and water turned red. I thought it was a pretty cool effect by the pool, but the cops were surveying a body floating in the pool. The body was Jimmy’s and I thought he just jumped in and started floating but I overheard my parents say that someone has pushed Jimmy into the pool, and was stabbed. The cops were around the pool for the next couple hours, and we all were forced to leave, since Halloween night was cancelled. My family brought me back home, and by the time we got home it was 6:30 at night. When we got home, Jeff and his parents were wating for us, and I did not know why. Jeff wanted to come up to my room and hang out, and my parents allowed us to hang out. We went up to my room and played with my toy football players, and then we decided to go downstairs and grab some food. We went downstairs and while I made us Sandwiches, Jeff went to the bathroom. I did not ask why, but once he got out, I clearly understood why. Jeff came out with a gun aimed right at me, and I understood what was going to happen. Jeff told me that he had killed Jimmy, and it felt good to him. I was reallly freaked out, so I ran for the door but I felt a bullet hit me in the leg, even though I did not hear the shot. I fell down and could not get back up. Jeff hovered over me, and that was the last thing I saw before I felt something hit my head, and I blacked out forever.
