"Go on doofus! Do it, or are you too scared?" Bill said to Tim; Tim was scared. Where is the Boy Scouts leader? Couldn't he stop all of this? He was nowhere to be seen. Bill, Fredrick, and Allen had him cornered on the dock. The dare was too much. Allen handed Tim the torch and pushed him forward. The dock was incredibly high, and the water was so shallow. But they promised to leave him alone if he did it. So, without a second thought, he took off his shoes, and jumped in, torch above his head. He swam out to the center of the lake, and tried to ignore the tauntings of the three bullies.
