The teenagers began throwing their eaten packets of crisps into the river shortly after packing away

their picnic blanket. They looked incredibly proud and smug for some kids that littered in a river. As
they made their way back to the bench, the elderly couple sitting beside them did not look
impressed in the slightest, wiping off the smile on some of their faces, whilst a few remained
pleased.

The teenagers began packing away their picnic blanket. This was shortly followed with them
throwing their litter into the river. They made their way back to their spot, picked up their blanket
and went back to their bikes.

‘’ Oi, go and throw our litter away. You should put the picnic blanket away and I don’t really care
about what you two do.’’

‘’ Why must I fold the blanket away’’

‘’ I didn’t say to fold it away, I said put it away’’

‘’Well then isn’t it nice of me to do so’’

‘’Sure’’

‘’Where do I throw away the rubbish?’’

‘’ Where do you think, dimwit’’

‘’ Rude, since you didn’t specify, I’ll just throw it anywhere I want ‘’

‘’Ok, I don’t care, just get rid of it.. please?’’

‘’ Wait, why are you throwing it into the river!? ‘’

‘’ He never specified where to throw it’’

‘’ It should be logical if you asked me’’

‘’ Let the kid throw it anywhere, its not like we should care much’’

‘’ Well, we should!’’

I really didn’t want to do it, but they, no, he would call me a nerdy wimp. How does not throwing
litter into a river make you a nerdy wimp though. To simply throw it in the bin, it’s normal if you
asked me. He thinks it’s cool to do the stupidest of things, including throwing litter into the river. If I
didn’t do as he said though, he would probably shove me into a locker and call me a nerdy wimp for
the rest of my life. I just had to go against my will and throw rubbish into the river. Besides, it was
just this once. It is not like it would affect the river that majorly.

I managed to make the kid throw rubbish into the river today. He would never say no to me. I think
he may fear me. I just simply find it amusing when people fish the litter back out. I just want to make
my friends laugh. Although, they never do. I don’t think they really count as my friends. I try hard to
make them laugh anyways. I would still do the silliest of things, as long it continued to keep me
popular. The best way of making good friends is to make them laugh. I don’t think I am doing very
well at that.
