_Gulp_. There was no going back now.

Olivia look down at her feet. She was at least twenty feet off the ground standing at the edge of a run down tree house.

A few days ago she and Della made a bet on who would win the Football game— Olivia lost. But because she didn’t have any money, Della said that she would then have to do and dare that Della told her to do. The new bet was five small dares or one big one. Della went with one big one.

Now, Olivia had to jump off the tall tree house that hovers over a small river and land in a small round float. _Welp, _Olivia thought as she took a deep breath, _it’s now or never. _

“JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!” The other ten-year-olds chanted from the safe ground below.

“Don’t tell me your going to chicken out.” Della teased. Olivia could feel her blood boil.

She ran back a few paces and….

…JUMPED!…

She could feel the wind flash her hair in every direction as she closed her eyes in fright. _Plop! _

She fell into the water with a tiny splash.

Olivia opened her eyes. She was fine. She looked up from where she had jumped, now looking up, it looked about two feet off the ground.

“I guess it wasn’t as height as it looked.” Olivia said to herself before she splashed some water in the direction of Della, soaking her.
