Coralville Public Library's Teen Zine
Diving by Kelsey
I walk along the hot, bumpy sidewalk, on my way to the diving board.
The chlorine from the pool welcomes me,
and the sight of the deep blue waves is frightening.
But as I jump off the diving board, I feel the wind pull me down, into the cold,
icy water.
The sound of yelling and laughing before, now sound like a million bubbles.
And the taste of chlorine in my mouth makes me want to get out!!!
