It was hot. Blistering hot. It must have been 110 degrees. All the normal people were all nice and holed up in their central air conditioned houses. Not Kimberly. The cheering national's were in 3 days, and she, being the captain could not beat to lose. She just HAD to call practice today, and if anyone wanted to stay on the squad, of course they had to show up. Everyone was dying on the feild, they were dropping like flied. The heat actually made some of the cherrleaders pass out. Of course, they had to get revenge somehow. While each of the members of the squad had their liberal supply of expensive bottled imported water, they took all of Kimberly's away. She was far too popular and stuck up to drink water from the fountain. Hopefully she would just cancel the practice. Her best friend Mary orchestrated it all.
"Come on Kim we need a break" Mary said her uniform dressed in sweat.
"No way...this heat is nothing" Kim said, herself ready to pass out. "Besides we have enough water to keep us going" she looks in her bag for her water and finds nothing
"Looks like you forgot yours" mary said "Can we please go home now"
Kim was horribly hot but the nationals meant a lot to her "No...we need to get better. I don't care how hot it is" she looks to the fountain and cringed a bit "water is water...and desperate times call for desperate measures"
Kim, the most popular valley girl in school, went to take a drink from the fountain...she drank for a very long time, just to feel a bit of relief. Littledid she know, that the water was contaminated.
