The alarm was really loud I woke up in a fright! I ran to the closest mirror I could see in the darkness.

Oh no! Amelia!!!

Today was sports day, and of course, being Amelia, I had to go for the football match between our school and " Be free ", the most well known school in the field of sports!

" Quickly Amelia, take your shower and join us on breakfast! " said a voice from outside.

I took the shower and then realised I had to wear one of Amelia's clothes so I went and stood in front of the closet.

" Boxers?! ". This was the first thing I saw. Uggghhh great so things really CAN get worse; I'm stuck in another person's body AND I have to wear boxers!

I put on one of her jumpsuits and went for breakfast.

It was the first time for me to actually see Amelia's family but they seemed so friendly. Amelia's little sister reminded me of my own. Awww..... I really miss her now!

" Umm.. Why do I have to eat fruits for breakfast?! " I asked sitting down on the chair.

" Amelia, why do you ask this question everyday? We told you you have to get fitter! " said her mum.

" But I play a lot of sports at school! " I said.

" I think our daughter has Alzheimer! " said her mum.

" Look honey, we tell you this everyday! No matter how much sports you do, you don't burn anything, that's how you are, we can't change it! I know, you keep trying and trying but nothing will change, even though you don't eat much, this is how your body is, it won't change. That's why you don't eat anything except fruits or vegetables " said her dad " Now don't come and ask me the same question tomorrow! "

Oh...oh! I can't stop judging people without knowing them! So all this time I mad fun out of Amelia I didn't know the story behind all this?! Poor Amelia! She's so perseverant although she KNOWS she can't change.

I ate my breakfast quietly and walked to school.

Just before the game began, I felt my stomach expanding. I started drinking a lot of water.

" Don't drink too much water! You'll be so full you can't run in the game! " told me one of Amelia's friends. I put the bottle down.

The game began. I was the goal keeper.

Ok, I thought, so I made fun out of a perseverant girl like Amelia and I have to fix everything! I have to win this game for her!

In the last five minutes, we were 3:3, the other team had the ball.

It was coming towards me. I felt my heart beat faster than ever as everyone cheered

" Amelia, you can do it! " shouted her mum

" Go Amelia Go! " said one of her friends

" Stay still and catch the ball the way I taught you! " said the coach.

This was it! I was the one to decide wether Amelia would be happy or clumsy the next day. I had to do it!!!

I closed my eyes and stayed still

Then opened. Everyone was cheering for me! I looked and found the ball between my hands!

" Woooooow! " I celebrated with everyone as they all held me up.

Amelia deserved it after all, she really did!

I came back home and took another shower.

Before going to bed, I made sure I took one of the sweets first.
