I Could Splash Harder 🌊 — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I was at the water park when the biggest
2. 0:01kid from my physics class grabbed my
3. 0:03shoulder. Yo, Einstein, I want you to
4. 0:05give me your school lunch this whole
5. 0:06year. I instantly shook my head. Are you
6. 0:08sure you need more lunch, dude? You look
7. 0:10like you've had plenty. Declan went red
8. 0:12and squeezed my shoulder so hard it
9. 0:14bruised. Listen, nerd, I'm feeling nice
10. 0:16today, so I'll give you a choice. Either
11. 0:17I make your life miserable or we play a
12. 0:19game for your lunch. He pointed at the
13. 0:21giant water slide behind us. Me and you
14. 0:23go down that slide. Biggest splash in
15. 0:25the water wins. I win and your lunch is
16. 0:27mine. You win, I leave you alone. I knew
17. 0:30he'd only pick this game because he was
18. 0:31much bigger [music] and would splash
19. 0:33like a bomb. But saying no meant all
20. 0:35year of getting shoved into lockers. So
21. 0:37I shook his hand. At [music] the top,
22. 0:38Declan slapped his stomach and grinned
23. 0:40as it jiggled. The bigger you are, the
24. 0:42bigger the splash. It's physics,
25. 0:43Einstein. [music] Half our class had
26. 0:45lined up at the bottom to watch. Declan
27. 0:47jumped in so hard the slide creaked and
28. 0:49splashed me [music] with water. He shot
29. 0:50out of the end, belly flopping in as
30. 0:52half the pool flew into the air, soaking
31. 0:54everyone, lifeguards, our class, even me
32. 0:57at the very top. Declan stood with his
33. 0:59stomach bright red. Your turn, Einstein.
34. 1:01Start packing my lunches. My legs were
35. 1:03shaking as the class cheered for him
36. 1:04because I was half his size [music] and
37. 1:06there was no way I could splash more.
38. 1:08But then I remembered physics, so I
39. 1:09threw myself on the wet floor and
40. 1:11flopped around until my whole body was
41. 1:13[music] wet. Less friction meant I'd go
42. 1:15faster and the faster I hit the water,
43. 1:17the bigger the splash. Declan burst out
44. 1:19laughing from the bottom. What is that?
45. 1:21A fish impression? The whole class
46. 1:23laughed at me and I realized now I had
47. 1:25to win or I'd lose my lunches and be
48. 1:27labeled fish boy for the whole year. I
49. 1:29gulped and climbed in head first on my
50. 1:30stomach. My arms pinned like a torpedo
51. 1:33while Declan gripped the bottom of the
52. 1:34railing to shake it. I started sliding,
53. 1:36but not [music] fast enough. So I tucked
54. 1:38my head and suddenly I was going so
55. 1:40fast. The turns blurred. I couldn't stop
56. 1:42screaming and I flew out of the slide
57. 1:44higher than Declan, so high he looked
58. 1:45like a dot and was afraid of how fast I
59. 1:47was going. I hit the water so hard the
60. 1:49whole pool exploded over the edges, the
61. 1:51wave knocking Declan backwards onto a
62. 1:53pink floaty in the kiddie pool. The same
63. 1:55class that laughed at me went crazy. I
64. 1:57climbed out of a nearly empty pool and
65. 1:59walked over Declan who was still
66. 2:00delirious. Faster beats bigger. It's
67. 2:02physics, big guy. Enjoy packing your own
68. 2:04lunch.
