Damn!!! The ball went through the window like a lion catching his prey. I glanced at the smashed window.

         Then I saw Hillary (Thomas's Mum) "WHO DID THIS" she screeched, Thomas (My Friend) Yelled "Jaiden!" I screamed "What no." But before I could say we were both sent inside. "INSIDE" I heard Hilary yell.

       Next I saw the brush. I gulped. I felt like a bad boy. "You blamed it on me you idiot." I said. "Well what else was I meant to do."  "Tell the truth!!!" I screeched. Oops, did I just say that out loud. "SSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!" I heard Shouted Hillary. I screamed like a baby getting a smack. I felt like I was getting"Oops sorry" I said. I got handed the brush. I started sweeping up while my tummy was gurgling. Mum heard what had happened. "GROUNDED" She said, Oh No. I felt bad for the rest of the week.😔
