The Dolphins by Olivia

The wind blows in my face making my half-wet hair swift up, as I’m clutching gently on a dolphin. It was slimy but smooth and very fun to ride on. “click click” I hear a dolphin coming from under the water. The instructor told us that the dolphins like to impress other dolphins by doing tricks. There jumping in and out of the water like they’re trying  to grab something, but really they’re not. It was a bright, and sunny day. The water was shining like someone smeared lip gloss all over it. I was going to ride a dolphin.

The water passes by me fast.  I was in an area blocked by rocks so the dolphins couldn’t swim away, but they seem very happy, and I don’t think they would. Suddenly, two dolphins come up and push me up and above the water. They push me up so high I feel like I am doing a stunt, and the dolphins are holding me up. It’s startling because I didn’t know it would be this fun. I see the pretty blue sky above me. There’s also a bright yellow sun that’s making the water shiny. It’s as if someone smeared lip gloss all over it. I look down, and get ready to go back into the chilly water. The dolphins act as if they’ve done this a million times, and I bet they have. We come to a stop, and I’m now slowly drifting through the water. It’s as if someone flipped a switch on the dolphin forcing it to slow motion. Now, we were dancing. I glance into the dolphin’s black eyes, they’re glancing back into mine. I take hold of his rubbery and big fins. All we do is just move our arms around. I look at the dolphin. It looks like it’s smiling, so I smile too. The dolphin gives me a kiss on the cheek, and someone takes a picture. Really, the dolphin just places its snout on my cheek. It felt like wet plastic.

I just treaded there, smiling with my lifejacket on, and my half-wet hair.
