Two Voices - Diving Board

In a creative writing class I took we had to write a conversation going on inside someones head with them self. So here it is...


Oh! I'm so nervous! Legs, please stop shaking, I might fall!
  Cut it out you'll be fine.
Yeah, I guess your right.
  Come on honey, you haven't gone past the first step yet, and there's a line behind you.
Oh, heh heh. Okay, here's one step, now two...oh!  I don't know if I can do this!
  Don't worry, look it's only three more steps to the platform. come on, don't let your little  brother show you up! 
Great okay, I'm up.
  Don't grip the railing so tight, your knuckles are turning white. Just relax now, and walk the   plank.
Walk the plank!?
  No, wait, that's not what I meant. Just , step out onto the board. 
Oh, it's kind of cold and wet.
  Well yeah, you're five feet above water!
Five feet? that's it?
  Um, yeah.
Well that doesn't sounds so bad.
  You're right, it isn't. Okay, we're at the end now. Just put your toes on the edge and jump in. 
Okay, here I go, one...two...two and a half...two and three quarters...
  Oh for crying out loud, here we go!
NO, WAIT, AHHHHHHH!
