Soccer gone wrong!

I slowly woke up, still drowsy eyed I got up and started walking of to the toilet. My legs were stiff from training last night and I really just wonted to go back to bed and fall into a deep sleep, but I knew I couldn’t because I had to go to school. Well I was on the short walk to the toilet I heard the door slam very loud all of a sudden, and my Dad running down the hallway with a envelop in his hand. “Brent you will never believe it!” My Dad dramatically yelled running to me. “What’s up Dad?” I said surprised. “You, you got a letter to open Brent!” Dad said excitedly “Oh yuppy its not like I have never had a letter before Dad” I sarcastically told him. “Brent cut it out this is very important.” As he handed me the letter I instantly recognized the logo that was on it. I couldn’t believe it, all these thoughts started to race through my mind about what might be in it. Dad handed the letter to me and I stood there and didn’t move I was stuck in excitement with what might be in it. “Well hurry up and open it!” My Dad said. This made me come back to earth and I dramatically ripped it open. I pulled the letter out of the envelop and stared at it. I had to calm down a bit because I couldn’t read the letter my hands were shaking so much with excitement. I finally got myself to calm down a bit and started reading.

//Dear Mr Brent.//

//I am delighted to tell you that you have the great opportunity to travel to Manchester and trial for England's joiner soccer world cup team. We have heard about you and your coach thinks that you and Jack would be perfect for this. You will be competing with 20 other kids from around England. We will have to kick quite a few from the team though so hopefully it’s not you! The first trial will be on the 7 August and altogether there will be four trials. I know that you live on the other side of England so in this envelop there is two plane tickets one for you and one from your Dad. I will be hoping to see you soon.//

//Yours sincerely// //Josh Mcdowel//

“OH MY GOD!!” I screamed when I finished reading the letter. Me and my Dad were so excited I couldn’t believe it I got to travel to Manchester for England’s world cup team! I would rather be supporting New Zealand because I was born there but me and my Dad came over here when my Mum died. I hadn’t seen my Dad so excited for ages. This was great. I looked at the tickets for the flight over there and they were registered for the 3rd of June which was tomorrow! “Dad!” I said so quickly that my Dad could barely understand me. “We are leaving for Manchester tomorrow!” “Wow we better start packing then. You can have the day of and get everything ready I will quickly ring then now.”

On the 18 of april the holidays finally came. On Monday we decided to go to taupo to go to our batch. It was around a 2 hour drive from Tauranga to Taupo but it didn’t feel anything like 2 hours. We didn’t really have a plan of what to do when we got there.

For the first day we didn’t really feel like doing much though so for the first day we just relaxed and played some Table Tennis, Volley Ball, Soccer and watched a DVD and mucked around. We were not that sure on what we were going to do well we were up there but we were just going to see how it goes.

The next day on Tuesday it was great cause I got to sleep in which was a change from getting up early and getting ready for school. In the end I got up but it was nearly 10 o’clock which is a massive sleep in for me. Most days I slept in which was great in stead of getting up early in the mourning. Nearly everyday we went to the dBrett’s hot pools cause we got a weekly pass for the hot pools and slide which was great because its relaxing just in the hot pools and the water slide is a lot of fun as well.

When we do go to Taupo we normally go to Action World which is good fun to. There is heaps to do there. There are two traipse’s one smaller one for practicing on and then one big one. Everything there is safe if you fall of say from the top of the high traipse because were you fall onto is the bouncy stuff that is on bouncy castles so it doesn’t hurt when you fall. Its cool going there because there is so much to do there. But this time we didn’t go there.
