“Successful Skipper”
It was fairly easy going at first, and my mind drifted off quickly. I found myself thinking about how my mom had always told me to never let my friends convince me to skip or thinking about being caught by the authorities I had been led to believe were supposed to be catching me. When my friends talked about their adventures, going to the mall, the park, the pool or even a friend’s house.

Perusing the large round pool, I couldn’t help but keep staring at the waterfall, because it was like I was looking at a waterfall from the woods.
