“HE CANT SWIM!” Amy shouted jumping in

“Shit” Alan said jumping in.

Amy reached Nathan and held him up.

“It’s fine I’ve got you” Amy said

Nathan was coughing, He was fine he had his life jacket on but still didn’t defeat the fear of falling in deep water. Mathew was in hysterics as were some of the other kids.

“Alan help him into a the canoe” Amy said “Everyone paddle back to the main dock!”

They got back to the dock Mathew was still laughing. The minute Nathan’s feet touched the ground he launched himself and Mathew punching him in the face.

Jacqui and Jess quickly separated them.

“ENOUGH!” Amy shouted

“NO WONDER!” Nathan screamed

His heart was still racing and he was coughing.

Amy got his inhaler out the medical bag and handed it too him. He took it then gave her it back.

The drive back to the centre was in silence as the staff made it clear what happened wouldn’t be mentioned. Nathan and Mathew were at opposite ends of the bus. They arrived back at the centre and hour early.

“Nathan, Mathew my office now” Amy said

Nathan and Mathew walked into Amy’s office; Jess walked in too and closed the door behind them.

“What happened out there?” Amy asked calmly

“You seen it why do you need to ask” Nathan snapped

“Why did you end up swimming with the fishes” Jess stated

“Mathew tried to kill me” Nathan stated

“Without the exaggeration” Amy said

“Do I look like im exaggerating he launched me in the river knowing I couldn’t swim” Nathan snapped

“I didn’t know you couldn’t swim, I mean all ten year olds I know can” Mathew answered

“Why did you do it in the first place?” Amy asked

“A few of us thought what he did with you this morning was unfair” Mathew answered

“OH MY GOD! She was strapped to a harness and safe I wasn’t exactly strapped to a life boat you idiot” Nathan snapped

“Stop being a big fairy Nate” Mathew laughed

Nathan pushed him knocking him back a little
