*Abdul's POV*

It was the day of the match, I woke up at 5am to get ready. I did some quick passes in my backyard and ate a full American breakfast.

My parents were both working so I had to be at the game by myself. I wasn't sad about it as it was common in my family. They were both doctors and unfortunately, had unusual working hours.

I had to walk to the pitch which made me a bit dissappointed as I didn't want to waste my energy on getting there.

When I got there, my coach made us do some exercises so that we could be ready. We were playing against Cracker Barrel High School who were our rival school.

My position was the attacker, as the game started, I was getting annoyed at my team mates. I get that we were just a school soccer team but it still annoyed me how they played.

I then ran towards the ball and struck it towards the goal. I got it in and the whole team started cheering.

Unfortunately, one of my team mates had fallen to the ground which made the game harder to win. As the game moved on, we were tied with only a minute left to go. BAM! The other team had scored a goal, we had lost.

After the game, I walked home feeling dirty and being all muddy from it. People were throwing me dirty looks however, it didn't bother me.

I was looking around the neighbourhood to see if there was anything interesting around when I spotted a deflated ball in the bin. I couldn't believe that someone would throw out a ball like that when it was just deflated.

I decided to take it home to see if I could fix it with the tools I had. As I was walking, I spotted an address and I made up my mind to give the ball back if I fixed it.
