Warning guys: this chapter might not be as interesting as the others but bare with me please. Also this is all true. Even those scenes that seem as if I am lying . Thanks for reading.
Great...summer is almost over and I will have to return to my role of the new kid in school. I woke up this morning like all the others but when I came back home from practice the house was totally deserted. I found a note on the gate that said "we had to leave in a hurry so do what you want until we come back. Keep safe. Love you." We'll that was nice just ditch me here with no keys. What am I supposed to do? I felt extra cool today so I decided to climb over the fence and leave the bike their. But another problem popped out of nowhere. With no keys how am I supposed to get in the house? Then I thought to myself."If I got this far on my own why stop trying.
I had no way of entering the house(by the way I am not that skinny). Then I got an idea. We have a huge mango tree in my backyard. So why don't I just climb the tree then jump up to the roof. After I'm in the roof I could check if the door that leads to a "secret" stair case which would take me inside the house. So now I started to climb(not the best tree climber either). After struggling for at least ten minutes I finally reached the top. After I was up there I started to see the danger of what would happen to me if I fall. If I fall I would get seriously hurt and I wouldn't be able to call for help because no one would hear me. Oh god now I'm nervous. While walking along one of the trees branches I could feel my shoes slipping with every step. After a while I got bored of slipping and sliding so I jumped to the top of the roof.
I finally made it. But my mission had failed. The door that lead to the stair case was closed... Now what. I can't believe I did all this for nothing. Plus now I'm stuck up here because there is no way I'm climbing through the tree again. Well looks like I'm going to be here for a while. Well what should I do now. We'll since I'm all alone up here why not just rest. So I lied down on a tile ledge of the house looking at the sunset. Despite the climate, the beautiful view and the time of day I suddenly got depressed...why. I wasn't sad and I didn't receive bad news in the past days but yet I felt like I wanted to cry. I then started asking myself questions about my life...which did not help with my current situation.
(I'm sorry guys but my eyes got watery writing this part.)(Not gonna cry though)
"What do I want to complete in life"?
"Do I really want to play baseball all my life"? I can't choose.
"Which is more important school or baseball"?If I choose one I would obviously stink at the other option.
"Do I even have a chance to complete my goals in life"?...wait what goals.
"Why can't I be like others?" They are all better than me. They are either stronger than me, cooler than me or have a girlfriend. And all this they like to rub in your face.
"This sucks. What am I going to do after I enter the cruel world of the teens?"
Forget this I'm going to take a nap. I need to stop thinking about this or I'm going to end up hurting myself. What I didn't know was that when I took my nap I fell asleep still on the ledge. That was stupid.
