Julian Falls Into The Water: A Narrative Fiction

Splash! A huge wave erupted from Lake Washington as Julian fell into the water. This happened during the summer of 2017 on the 18th of July. I was hanging out with my friends I had met at summer camp, Elijah, Radley, Kate, Julian, and Kayla. That day the group had decided that we should go down to my grandmother’s dock. Julian falling into Lake Washington was a shocking, but hilarious experience that my friends and I still make fun of to this day.

I was just waking up and was gazing at my phone in my bed. Suddenly, out of nowhere my phone buzzed. It was a text from Elijah. Elijah was asking the group if we wanted to hang out at Lake Washington for the day. Immediately, I replied with a “Yes”.

After about an hour everybody had finally

responded and they all said they wanted to go. My thumbs thudded on the screen as I typed, “My grandma has a dock on the lake, should we meet up there?” Everyone agreed to meet up there at 12:30pm.
I arrived at my grandma’s house at noon.

The fog clouded my field of vision as to where I couldn’t see my grandmother’s door. I lumbered over to my grandma’s door. “Ding dong.” I rang the doorbell, my grandma answered.

“Hey sweetie, it is so nice to see you!” my grandma exclaimed.

“Hey Nana, I was wondering if my friends and I could head down to the dock and just hang out.” I asked.

“Of course, Camden, have fun dear.” said my grandma.

“I will, bye Nana. Love you, thank you very much.” I said.

I headed to the end of my grandma’s driveway to wait for my friends. No less than 20 minutes later Radley showed up, then Elijah and Kayla, then Julian, and finally Kate. We said our greetings and decided to head down to the dock. To get down to the dock you must follow a narrow path through the forest to the bottom of the hill. We set out on our way to the dock. On the way there, we asked each other how everyone was doing and soon we reached the bottom of the dock.

At the dock we decided to place all our belongings on a wooden table next to the shore. We swiftly opened the bags of chips we had brought because we were all starving. A half hour passed by of munching on chips and talking, until Julian decided he was going to the dock to feel the water. At the time, we didn’t really think much of it as it wasn’t really important that he felt the

water.
Splash! A huge wave erupted from Lake Washington as Julian tumbled into the water. Everyone’s faces were filled with shock at what had just happened. Then Elijah burst out laughing with his infectious laugh. Which led to us all exploding with laughter. We all sprinted down the dock to help Julian out of the water.
We dragged Julian out of the water and handed him a towel we had found in the boathouse. As Julian was drying himself off we all made fun of him for falling into the water. Then, we retreated back to the shore where we kept on munching on chips and talking about Julian’s fall into the water.
After we had hung out at the shore for about two hours we decided it would be best to head back home. We lumbered up the hill and talked about how we should meet up again to do something fun. When we finally got to my grandma’s driveway, we all said our goodbyes and promised each other we would keep in touch for more exciting adventures to come.
Every time me and my friends head down to Lake Washington we tell Julian not to fall in. Even to this day we still make fun of Julian and has become a joke between me and my friends. When Julian fell into Lake Washington, it was one of the most shocking, but amusing experiences of my life.
