It all started as soon as I came home from school. I am in my room, and I plan to study for two hours. It was about five o’clock. To my surprise, Samantha decided to drop by. She dashes into the house, slams the door behind her, and yells for me. She will want a fishing companion. She had thought about going fishing all last week. Getting my gear together, I become excited and can almost see the fish fighting over which one will be my first catch. On our way out to the lake, we see clouds begin to form and we knew we are in for trouble. It rains for the whole evening. Once again, the fish are lucky.
