(lol

and yeah! Perry is slow and possibly autistic [my instructors words], Lucy is terrified of the world due to a harsh past and has cancer so i feel for her, i love Red and he hates me, and theres a few more i like.)

she nodded.

(Sounds like you have a lot of fun with them!)

Cody sighed, stepping out of the car. "C'mon, let's get to those canoes. Pretty sure those things can't swim."

(yeah, its great!)

she nodded and hopped out.

(Anything else new?)

Cody set out. "They should be over this way..."

(i take culinary at school and made cinnimon-sugar pretzels recently!)

they were.

(Sounds delicious.)

Cody dragged one of them to the edge of the water, tossing Emily an oar. "You know how to use that, right?"

(it is. or rather, was.

what about you?)

she caught it and nodded.

(Summer's almost over and every job I had an interview at decided to hire somebody else. ^^; They will be opening up a Hobby Lobby here soon though, and I'm gonna be one of their first applicants. I'll be a legal adult and driving in a couple months, so hopefully I can get a job there or at the book exchange.)

"Great. You get in front then."

(good luck!)

she nodded and did so.

(Thanks!)

Cody shoved the canoe out and climbed in back, putting his own oar into the water and setting to paddling, in a hurry to get away from the shore.
