Kendra walked around a while before spotting the shuffle board. Awesome! She strolled over to it and watched some others have a go with interest. Sure, she was awful at it. But it was real fun! And it wasn't as if she was going to loose anything if she was rubbish. Apart from her dignity of course.
Stepping up to the base of the triangle, marked out on the ground with something that looked a little like chalk, she picked up the paddle, weighing it in her small hands. Trying to guess how much she would have to hit it to get it in that small triangle at the top. As if playing golf, she shielded her eyes from the sun, gazing over her field of play.
'Let's do this.'
Kendra smiled to herself as she spoke. Swinging the broom back hard, she hit it with force. Too much force.
'Come on come on come on come on.' She repeated the words as she watched it zoom down the triangle, it had begun to slow when it reached the second section, but still had a good lot of momentum. It stopped when it reached the third, but, alas, there was still a good third over the edge, meaning it counted, just. She had, hopefully, won herself seven points. But she needed to remember next time not too put so much effort in, or it would definatley mean that she was in the -10 zone.
One down. Two to go.
