Chapter 23
The lazy river was relaxing. Until Slick and I made it into a race. We pushed each other into the weaker currents, as well a the mini waterfall things that sprayed water everywhere. The LR was a big loop, starts and ends in the same place. When we came closer to the end, I was paddling with my hands, making a little splash. Strangers gave me dirty looks but I ignored them. I started to rotate my hands, fast, really fast.
"Cheater." Slick said behind me.
"No." There was no rule about not using powers. I beat him and threw the tube in the pile, and waited for Slick to finish up. He was wadding up the shore.
"That... Was cheating." He huffed.
"We didn't distinguish any rules." I pointed out. I sighed. "That wasn't as relaxing as I wanted it to be."
"Who needs to be relaxed when you have our lives." Slick said sarcastically.
"Let's go see what time it is." I said. We walked beside each other, and besides what was happening, I was happy that he was there with me. Our hand grazed, and he took the opportunity to slip his fingers between mine. My heart did like four somersaults. Glancing his way, I noted that he didn't glance my way. Possibly he did when I had butterflies with machine-guns fluttering in my stomach.
We arrived at the lockers where a clock hung on one of the walls.
"2:12. We have like twenty minutes, what now?" He asked. "We can try the wave pool."
"Okay." We wadded in the pool, the only waves that were there were the ones made by obnoxious men on the deeper end. We were waist deep.
"Now we wait." He said.
"Wait. Now this boring." I bent down where most of myself was in the water. "Cold..." I whispered under my breath.
"The great Cold Flame, getting cold?" Slick mocked.
"Shut up." I muttered. Horn sounded, meaning the waves were starting. They started up small, but began growing in size. Soon, I was moving backward with each wave. We could only stay in for a bit before someone called my name. I turned around and Cole was on the shore. He changed into swim trunks. He motioned, waving in the air, belonging us to shore.
"Come on, let's go." I said. "Looks like our time is up." Riding the waves we got the shore. When we got close enough, you could see two guys behind him. Who are those people? Okay, I haven't seen the guy in forever. do I'll give him some credit.
"Hey, we should talk." Cole said.
"Whose this?" I asked.
"These are my guys, Mike," He motioned his arm to the right. "And Dan," The other guy on the left.
"What are we talking about?" Slick asked.
"Nothing." Cole said. "That you need to worry about." Sass.
"Whoa, Mr. Sassy Pants." He said. The good mode was making him less snappy.
"Seriously. Can I talk to you, please?"

So I was thinking that we cut this book a little shorter, so I can edit Cold Flame. After maybe a chapter or two, I might start the next book. Can you let me know of some grammar stuff in my last book?
