KNOCKED OUT
“It’s five minutes before lunch and I’m freaking out because it’s the basketball grand final. I’m looking at my friends 24.7 and then I look at the clock 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ding, ding, ding YAY”.I run out side and everyone was trying to get a seat. I was looking around and I’m smiling with happiness. I hear the siren yay. The umpire calls us up to the court 3, 2, 1 the siren sounds again. Woo Hoo and Bulldogs ( my team ) score. “ Oh no what’s happened to Bonny? Ring the ambulance”!.

Day 1 in hospital -
“What happened?” I say.
“You suffered a bump to the head and guess what?”
“What?”
“Bulldogs won the grand final”
“Yay. So how long will I be in the hospital for?”
“The doctor said about week”
“Ok”

Day 2 in hospital -

“You’re going to have x-rays today just in case there’s anything broken”
(After x-rays)
“So how were they?”
“Good news actually nothing broken”
“Awesome”
“Look a present with your name on it from Nanna”
“Cool I wonder what it is?. AWESOME it’s the really big bag of lollies I’ve always wanted mum come here look.”
