Swimming.

Ugh. Why was he listening to her again?

And he wasn't going to go swimming in the middle of October. No thank you.

The boy scowled as he picked up a couple of rocks and pebbles near the edge of the water. The girl had even suggested reading. READING. That was mind-numbingly BORING, that was. Especially if he didn't have the right book, which he doubted this library had. He didn't want to be spending his free time from homework only to be reading some more. Not that he had done any of that but whatever.

So. New passtime. Grayson headed over towards the dock, holding as many rocks and pebbles as he could. He sat down near the edge, setting the items down next to him. Skipping stones it was. Picking up a shiny pebble, he gave it a quick glance over before chucking it as far across the water as he could.

And............................... SPLASH!
Marigold had the idea of going to dip her feet in the water, and that was exactly what she was going to do. She took her shoes and socks off, then slowly dipped a toe in. Merlin it was cold! This was not a good decision... She dipped another toe in, then her whole foot. She. Shivered, then put the other foot in. She kicked a little, admiring the ripples caused by her feet.

Then a rock landed next to her and splashed onto her torso. She shirked and jumped up. Looking for the source of the frigid splash, she wasn't altogether surprised to see Gray as the culprit. She raised her eyebrow at him. That wasn't nice.
