The queue snaked back and forth around the railings and then continued on for several metres. Cooper went to the end of the line and waited. It was a swelteringly hot day and the local pool was full to capacity. Kids were waiting until the lifeguards weren’t looking to run on the concrete or to do a forbidden dive bomb into the pool. The blues of the water and the shade sails were made brighter by the harsh white light from the hot sun, while the cloudless sky looked washed out. Teenagers in their bathers were playing with flying discs or kicking a football on the grass. The centre smelt of chlorine, wet concrete and sausages with onions cooked on barbeques. Cooper stood there taking it all in as the line crept slowly forward. He glanced back to the other side of the complex to where he had been sitting under the tree but he couldn’t see his friends. Perhaps they had gone back into the pool. Little by little, he moved forward.
R: Where is cooper waiting?
I: What tells you Cooper is a good friend?
C: What words describe the weather on that day?
