part 1: let's go fishing
this story takes place when i had recently turned 19. i was done with school for good and had no intention of getting an higher education. i was all sick of school and got myself a job at a hotel kitchen in a different town.
right before i moved away from my parents i decided to join another scout camp before i moved away.
i would still be a part of the scouts and join every trip i could, but i would not be able to show up on any scout meeting and i had to make sure the trip didn't collide with work.
during these days it was one evening when all the other scouts at my age had gone somewhere without telling me. i didn't really bother mutch as i was a little tired and just wanted relax the rest of the day.
i threw away my jacket and layed down in the grass and stared in to the sky with a straw in my mouth listening to my MP3 player. suddenly a couple of shadows came above me...
i looked up and saw to young girls standing above me. i took out my earplugs and said "may i help you?"
one of them had red shoulder lenght hair and was wearing a red jacket and dark green shorts that went to her knees while the other one had light brown hair that was a little longer and had a green singlet and jeans.
"we want to go fishing, but we are to young to be alone by the lake so we need a scout leader or another adult to watch over us" the young redhead said "are you able to?"
the truth is i don't know what they'r name where. so i just call them kate (redhead) and riley (brunette).
i had a look around to see if there was anyone else around... it wasn't.
i got up and brushed the grass of my black pants and kiss t-shirt "go get your fishing gear".
"so you are coming" riley said a little excited.
"sure, i was just laying around anyway so i might as well just lay around near the water instead and do something usefull".
i went to my tent and got my self a bottle with soda and noticed my roll of duct tape laying there.
i was considering it but figured we are just going to fish anyway and i don't even know these girls. if i do something like that i might scare them and that wont be such a good idea.
i just grabbed my soda and walked out... of course it turned out i could have needed the duct tape after all.
the girl's took about 5 minutes to get they'r fishing equipments and i made sure the other leaders knew about where we went so they would'nt panic because they didn't know where we went.
while walking down to the lake it appeared the girls knew little about fishing. they was wondering if they could catch a Cod or perhaps a coalfish.
"not to disapoint you, but those are salt water fishes. that lake over there is freshwater" i said to them.
Riley looked up at me and asked "then what kind of fish can we find there?"
i looked over to the water as we got closer and answered "most likely trout, if we'd been closer to a river we could find some salmon too but not around here"
we arrived the edge of the water and found a nice place to stand while fishing and also a great place for me to just be lazy.
"now i'm just gonna sit here and do absolutly nothing. let me know if anyone falls into the water so i can pull ya back up" i said as i sat back on my lazy ass.
"okey... but do you know how to use the fishing rod?"
i got back up again right away "you want to fish but don't even know how to use the rod?"
they both nodded.
"fine, i'll show you" i got the rod and saw that it was already prepared, i supposed somebody had helped them with that before we walked all the way down here.
"you see this thin line here, you have to hold on to it with your finger and loosen this little circle here. then you just wave the rod in the direction you want and loosen your finger from the line. the lure will fly away and when it hits the water you wait for a few seconds and start reeling it in again"
once again i sat down. kate was first to try, she did like i said and the lure flew straight up in to the sky and felled down about 3 meters away, but at least in the water...
"can you try?" she said with a big grin on her face.
once again i got up and grabbed the rod "sure, i guess i could give it a try" i grabbed the rod and reeled in the lure. i made sure it hanged a little loose and started to wave the rod.
i realesed the line and surprised even myself.
"wow..." the girls where standing there with mouths wide open as the lure flew away and from perhaps a 100 meters distance we saw i tiny splash in the water.
"your really good at this" came from Riley.
"yeah... maybe i just got lucky, usually i don't get it that far." i said as i started to reel in.
i let the girls try again a couple of times but they ended up wanting me to do they'r throws and just reel it back in.
it worked for a while until suddenly the fishing line tangled up when they reeled it back.
of course i had to fix it, so i got a knife and started cutting some around.
"aren't you ruining it?" one of them asked me
"nope" i managed to get the knot out and tied the 2 loose ends back together.
"what if that knot releases itself?" Kate said skeptical.
"it wont" i finnished it and said "there, ready to go"
once again we started fishing... still didn't catch anything.
suddenly after 5 or 6 times the lure flyed away for an even longer distance than usual and i noticed the line floating on top of the water...
"dammit, the lure loosened from the line." i didn't know what to say, i just convinced them my knot would hold.
"hah, i told you that knot wouldn't be enough!" kate said while pointing at me.
"great, i just got burned by myself and a 10 year old is making it even worse by pointing it out" i said with a slightly annoyed voice.
i started to reel in the line, it was still enough to fish some more if we had any more lure's. suddenly i saw my very same knot still on the line and the line kept going.
"HAHAH! MY KNOT DID HOLD AFTER ALL!!!" i yelled with a big teasing smile.
appearantly the knot holding the lure was the one that opened.
"let's have a look at your spare lure's" i said with my eyes attached to the little orange box with anything needed for fishing.
"nothing breaks trough my knots" i started to brag
"i bet i could" kate suddenly said.
i looked down at her and started to look around for anything that could be used to tie her up with.
