Bagatelle

Many years ago - when I was a young school'un. I went on a school trip to France.

Part of the trip was a trip to Bagatelle. Full of fun rides and attractions.

We had been on a couple of rides by the time we arrived at the log flume. There was about 5 lads, me being one. and there was a group 5 girls with us aswell. Queuing up for the log flume, we realised ( a bit too late) it was 4 to a boat. Well, me being slow, ended up being person number 5 of our lads group Meaning I had to get on a boat on my own. There was also a geeky skinny girl in the group of girls in front that had already jumped on a LogBoat - leaving her. So to save time, and to avoid a confused argument with the ride attendant, i ended up getting in a boat with her. She went in the front. I went in the back... as far away from the uncool girl as possible. There was about a 1.5 - 2 metre space between us.

As she was the uncool one, we didnt speak, and what followed was 5 minutes of excruciating silence. boat goes up, boat comes down, splash, silence.... I could hear the logs in front and behind, screams and yelps as they hit the water.. they were enjoying themselves, laughing... I was stuck with her. In silence.

Then the big flume came up. For some reason, having seen pictures of the flume all over the park with people in freefall with the arms in the air - i decided to do the same...

Log goes up, my arms go up - log goes down - splash... forgetting that my arms were needed to hold on instead of feel the breeze between my fingers, I was thrown full speed into the back of this girl.. my head - still with plenty of momentum, then proceeded to slide down her side, my nose now in excruciating pain, I find my self soaking wet, and in the footwell next to the uncool girls feet.

She didnt say a word, I got off, and tried to explain to my mates why my eyes were streaming and bloodshot, and why I had scratches down my arms and back.
