While little Patricia was longingly looking at the swimming pool, a boy of her age appeared out of nowhere.

He patted her on the shoulder and looked down at her.

With the sun shining directly behind him, his face was veiled by a shadow.

"Hello.My name is Jack White.What's your name?"

Patricia raised her head and squinted at the boy next to her.

Once she could make out his features, she gave him a bright smile and said, "My name is Patricia Sampson.Can you be my friend?"

She had never had friends.

She didn't know how to approach the other kids, and none of them talked to her voluntarily.

Jack was the first one who had come up to her and talked to her.

"Of course.We are good friends from now on."

Jack pulled Patricia up and led her towards the swimming pool.

"Let's go swimming.It's okay if you don't have a swimsuit.I'm not wearing one either."

Patricia held Jack Bai's hand in surprise and said, "You are so kind to me.How did you know that I'm not playing in the water because I don't have a swimsuit?"

Jack rolled his big beautiful eyes and beamed at her.

"I guessed it, since you're not wearing one!"

Without saying anything more, Patricia followed Jack to the swimming pool with a smile.

But as soon as she stepped near the edge of the swimming pool, she was pushed into it.

Patricia was immediately submerged in water.

As she tried to waddle up to the surface, she opened her mouth to breathe and ended up swallowing a few mouthfuls of water.

Soon, she was choking desperately.

She could barely keep her eyes open, let alone see the people at the edges of the pool.

A group of children had surrounded the pool and were laughing loudly.

Out of them, Jack looked the proudest.
