Fred goes to every high school party there is, and I hate people calling me a coward. Having the video of me, Fred will show it to everyone, and I have gone too far to stop. This video can change my reputation for the better, if I can make it. I thought I could show Fred up a few minutes ago, but now my nerve is gone.
“Am I gonna have to go over there and throw you off?”
“I’m going!”
I get the best running start and leap over to the Robinson house. My foot slips on the landing, and the peak of the roof nails me in the chest. I begin to slide down, and the black shingles scrape my skin off. I look around for anything to stop my descent. Fred cackles, while I meet the edge of the roof. I kick my legs frantically. Finally, my white sneakers ram into the dirt ridden gutter, and I am safe. I rise slowly as not to lose my balance and glance at Fred.
“Dude, you look so stupid!”
Ignoring him, I traverse over to the ladder that we set up, and I climb down. Tears well in Fred’s eyes, and I stare at my feet as I climb down.
