Sweat dripped down my back, as I anxiously awaited "flying"for the first time.
My legs still felt heavy,
throbbing from being over in the blazing sun,
but I was more than prepared to go.
I looked up at the illuminated blue sky, now no sun in sight.
The voice behind me yelled, "ready!"
I carefully placed my hands on my bases' sweaty shoulders.
I stood on my toes in the damp grass, ready to jump.
I took a deep breath and prepared for my flight.
"Five," yelled the voice assertively.
Pumped with adrenaline, I jumped into my bases' hands tucking my feet under me.
They drove their hands and arms toward the sky,
and I stood up, high above the ground.
I kept my balance, raising my arms in the shape of the V.
A light breeze blew as I stood looking towards the sky with a smile on my face.
The trees and clouds seem to move in slow motion;
I felt weightless, like I could actually fly.
