"I know, I know" replied Robert "any-way what’s left."
"Hardly any coco pops, a few frosties, some sugar puffs and I think the corn flakes are in the cup board." said Roberts mum in a grumpy voice.
Robert look in the cupboard to see nothing, so he filled the only clean bowl on the table with the only cereal left in the boxes and finished off the milk. After finishing his cereal, Robert was about to go back up to his own room, when the unusually loud doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" shouted Amanda, Robert's youngest sister.
"NO YOU WILL NOT!" snapped Robert's mum.
While, for the first time ever, Robert's mum and Amanda were arguing, Robert answered the door, and no one was there. It was probably Danny, he was always playing tricks on Robert, so Robert closed the door and opened the door again, almost straight away, and there stood Danny, about to ring the door bell.
"All right Robert, want to play football out front?" asked Danny.
"Hang on a second," Robert cleared his thought, "can I play football with Danny Mum?"Called Robert.
"What ever." replied Robert's mum, still in the middle of the argument?
As that was the answer, Robert put his shoes on and stepped outside, closing the
door behind him. Outside, you could still hear the arguing, though now muffled. Hiding behind the wall were some more of Robert's friends; David, Josh and Daniel.
"Headers and volies, as usual, with Danny in goal." ordered David.
You could say that Danny was not the best of people in goal, and he knew it, but he still went in goal as it was his turn on the router. Unusually Josh started, he chipped the ball over David's head Robert volied the ball, just missing Daniel, Danny stuck his foot out for the ball, but missed and the ball went in the goal. No one was happy because the ball bounced into the back garden of one of the houses.
This wasn't the kind of house that you could knock and get your ball back. This was the kind of house that had over grown plants, no movement from inside the house for god knows how long, and no one went near. Most people would have left their ball but as it was their only ball, every one made Robert being the one that kicked the ball, had to go and get the ball. He had his doubts about going near the house but the others made him go and get it. As Robert didn't really want to start an argument he walked slowly towards the house. When he eventually got to the front gate, he waited, then untangled and opened the gate, then walked towards the house.
Danny, David, Daniel and Josh, all had their own thoughts about the house. Danny, the owner of the football, thought the house was abandoned and he wouldn't get his ball back. David thought that a monster would eat you alive as soon as you go in the house. Daniel thought it was a mad house and you spend then rest of your life trying to find a way out. Josh, the youngest, didn't know what to think. Ether way, they all thought that they would never see Robert again, and they were now all feeling guilty about making him get the ball.
Robert stood in front of the front door thinking of what would happen and how to get away after he knocks. He told himself that none of those things were real, then he knocked.
An old lady answered the door. "Hello sonny, is this yours?" the old lady asked.
Robert was scared, because he hadn't thought of this or any-thing like this, and hadn't prepared an escape route, so he snatched the ball of the old woman, ran out of the gate, threw the ball back to Danny and ran home like frightened dog. Robert stayed in his room for the rest of the day, too scared to come leave the safety of his room, because if he came out, he thought a monster acting like an old lady would catch him.
The next morning, Robert woke up and saw every-thing as a monster and was only put up with for a day, because he was taken to a mental hospital the next day, and is still in there to this day.
That is the story of the last time my dad played football with his best mate.
