Nothing ever goes right! I kicked the wall of the school as I walked out to the playground. I hurt my toe.

I limped down to the swings, but they were all taken. Jordy had claimed the clubhouse and he was my sworn enemy, so I couldn’t go up there.

Emily was mad I had chewed on her pen she let me borrow, so she wasn’t talking to me and had claimed the monkey bars with her other friends.

My toe hurt too much to play kickball with Sammy, and the nerds had the chess board out at the picnic table.

I stuck my hands in my pockets. I found a forgotten sucker wrapper inside, making my pocket all sticky. It stuck to my fingers. I wiped them off on my pants, but it made my fingers fuzzy.

Someone pointed and laughed. There was a note stuck to my back, it read ‘kick me’. When did that get there?

I took out the pen to write over it, but it snapped in two and spilt blood-ink all over the page and my shirt!

The ink stained like food coloring, and I remembered I forgot my science homework at home!

This was not my day!
