I have been excited all night and barely got any sleep as today Grandma is taking me somewhere. Ugh it is so annoying not knowing where I'm going but I'm sure it will be great. I wonder why I have to wear sports clothes, maybe I'm going to trampoline world or maybe even hiking. Steadily I walk downstairs and go into the kitchen to et my breakfast but before I get there grandma stops me and says go sit in the dining room. I wonder why she isn't letting me into the kitchen is there a secret she is hiding.
I walk into the dining room and couldn't believe my eyes, there was a full banquet of food sitting there as if it was there all along. When did she make this?
When did she have the time?
My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I dug in to the food. I feel so sick! I ate bacon, eggs, sausage, a baguette, croissants, fruit, yogurts and I even had chocolate cake. I shouldn't have ate so much! I ask gran when we are going and she says
"We are going in a few hours, by first we will pick up Sop......"
"Were you about to say we are going to pick up Sophia!"
"Noooo....."
"Are you sure?!"
"Ok you got me we, yes we are going to pick up Sophia."
"Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaayyy!!!!!!!!"
"Ok calm down!"
"Ok, ok I'll just be in my room playing netball"
I go to my room with so much excitement and play with my netball net. I still think about where we are going?
                                ~3 hours later~
     It was time to go, yet I still don't know where I'm going but I'm sure it will be great!!!! I scream in excitement and my gran thinks I'm going crazy but I just apologise to her and say that I am really excited. We hop into my gran's flamboyant, fancy, red deluxe Lamborghini and drive off to pick up Sophia. I ask gran how she knew Sophia and how she and where she lived? Mary responded in a very suspicious manner and replied saying,
"Well I went to to ehh..... school with her parents! Duh"
          When gran said 'Duh' I just wanted to scrunch  up in a ball but I didn't because I was still way to hype for this surprise. We picked up Sophia and she was wearing fetching, vibrant sports leggings with a plain top. I was amazed at the colour of those leggings.
         I greeted Sophia in a hyperactive way and she was so shocked at how excited I was. She replied with her soft voice. It was taking a long time to get to this place so I was starting to think maybe we are going hiking after all as it was really far away. I started asking questions to see if gran would give me any clues to where we were going, but she never gave any clues.
          This journey was beginning to make me feel tired so I put on some banging music and started singing,
"The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like!"
My gran started laughing at me but I ignored her. It came to the chorus and I was surprised that no-one started singing until....... Sophia started singing too
"I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you"
      We were absolutely killing it, in a good way though. I never knew Sophia had such a pleasing voice, I loved it. Together it was like a harmony I sang low and she sang high.
      We arrived at the place and it definitely wasn't hiking or a trampoline world, it just so happened to look like a SPORTS CENTRE! What were we doing here, why did she take me here, am I too fat, am I not fit enough, what was my gran thinking! I walk in anyway this time a lot more anxious. We get in and the janitor let us in. What is this place? I wondered.
          I looked around seeing a netball net, a coach, and loads of people I don't know. I start to think 💭
Am I joining a netball team?
I ask my gran in hesitation and she replies with a grin in her face
"SURPRISE!!"
"Why did Sophia come then because I thought people thought it was uncool?"
"Well I know Sophia's parents because we played netball together and Sophia absolutely loves netball!"
I was too excited and I passed out onto the floor. My gran wakes me up about 15 minutes later and I don't know where I am. I ask her and she explains everything again, I pass out again. I wake up about 2 minutes later this time although this time I knew where I was and why so I said goodbye to gran, and Sophia and I started playing some netball!
