The Lake - Michaela comes up with a wonderful idea for a plot: Her character discovers that she can breathe under water

 It was spring 2014 when I first realised I could breathe underwater. It all started when me and my family went on holiday to the lake. We weren’t rich, but we weren’t poor. We were just in the middle. At the lake we had the best lodge because my parents wanted to spoil my big sister and I. 


I really liked swimming. When we got there, I unpacked, then I changed into my togs and bombed into the lake with a big splash. There were two kids swimming, so I went under water and swam to them and said “hi” they said hi too. Soon we became friends. Their names were Clare and Isla. Isla was sporty, competitive, and she was fourteen, just like my sister and Clare she was just like me. 


When I hopped out of the lake, I introduced Isla to my sister called Nelita and later I played with Clare. After that I invited their family over for dinner they said yes. Nelita and Isla played hockey and me and Clare played.


The next day we went to the lake together me and Clare went looking for treasure and Nelita and Isla went swimming. Then when we  got  so deep, I didn’t even need a breath. But Clare had to get a breath. Then I tried to open my mouth and inhale. Because we were really deep, I didn't think that I could breathe underwater then I gasped and I could really breathe underwater. Luckily no water got in my mouth, I was scared at first, then I wasn't  I went up to the surface then I quickly ran to Clare and said “I can  draw in air! Come check!" We quickly ran in the lake and I breathed underwater. She was shocked. Then I showed everybody at the lake, one person actually told the news reporter and I got on the news right after the weather. It was absolutely amazing when we got home. My Dad got a promotion so we got more money and the first thing we bought was a pool!
