Me and Reece are playing soccer in my backyard and I hate it.

He just wants to show off his amazing skills by kicking the ball at me several times.

We finished dinner a while ago and it's very dark outside, the sky is pitch black with the stars shining. Outside is also a bit cold and my hoodie isn't really doing much to keep me warm.

"Lexi get up and kick the ball!" I hear Reece yell from the other side of the yard, a soccer ball slowly rolls over towards.

"No! I'm done. I'm tired. I'm cold." I groan from my position on the floor.

"Stop being bitchy"

My jaw drops when he says that. Me. The bitchy one. I don't fucking think so. I huff and then the up and pull the ball with my foot closer to me. I kick the ball as hard as I can and it goes flying over to reece "Fuck!" He shouts bending over at his waist.

"You good?" I shout.

"You kicked the ball right into my dick!" He shouts back from the floor and I let out a loud laugh. I look over at Reece who's now lying on the grass in the fetal position.

"Stop being such a big baby!"

He slowly stands up and then runs over to me and I scream as he tackles me to the ground. I land on my back on the grass and Reece moves off of me and next to me. Loki runs over us and lies next to Reece.

Traitor.

I love stars.

Even though they are just floating balls of burning gas millions of miles away. I would love to be an astronaut and go in a spaceship.

When I was younger I used to love space and everything about it. I found it fascinating learning about the other planets and hoping that there were people on those planets that lived lives like us on earth.

Neptune is my favourite planet.

I had many books about planets and space. My grandpa even bought me a telescope and I loved it.

When I was eight years old in elementary school there was a science fair and I worked all by myself to make a super cool project. I didn't let anyone help me and I even saved up all the money to buy everything for it.

I eventually won it and my parents and grandparents were really proud of me and I was really happy and then this boy called Mickey came second and he didn't like come second especially to a girl.

I quickly left to go get my backpack and then when I came back my science project was on the floor and he was stomping on it.

He ruined the project that I spent so long by myself making.

I didn't even stop him, I stayed stood where I was. There were tears falling down my face when I saw all my hard work that I had out in for weeks being ruined but this stuck up kid.

When the teachers and his parents found out he was in a lot of trouble and his parents apologised millions of times.

Mickey said sorry but I knew he didn't mean it.

He ruined one of the best days for me and I still haven't forgiven him and I don't think I ever will.

When we got home I went up to my bedroom and cried until I couldn't anymore. My parents even stayed up with me all night whilst I cried and my dad watched movies with me until I fell asleep.

I hope Mickey is miserable in life.
