Once Harlow was sure she wasn't going to fall in and her heart rate had slowed she stood up and looked around for the next landing pad. With the other students jumping the water was rippling and the lily pads were swaying.

Good thing she wasn't that tall.

Harlow looked at the pad she wanted to jump on making sure it was right in her crosshairs. She bounced on her pad a few times and launched herself through the air and landed on number 10 and promptly fell over onto her butt. She was glad the pad was soft. If it had been the ground she would have tears in her eyes.

She pushed herself up and off the pad the readied for the next jump. Her pad was riding the gentle waves created by the other students jumping. "Now or never," she muttered to herself and got a small running jump onto the pad. Numer 15. Her momentum carried her right over the edge of the pad and headfirst into the freezing lake water.

The tiniest splashed followed her little display. Harlow splashed and thrashed in the water till her head broke the surface. "COLD!" she shouted scrambling out of the water and back onto the pad. She hadn't been prepared to go into the lake and the temperature scared her. Rivets of water ran down her small frame and she was on her hands and knees on the pad sputtering water. "Lake water!" she squealed making sure she got all of the water out of her system.

After her little water hissy fit she calmed down long enough to shake herself off and stand up. Harlow was not keen on landing in the lake again. She stood and took a few deep breaths. She didn't want to end up back in the water, but Harlow squared her shoulders and jumped again landing on 19.
