I am learning to add figurative language to my work and synonyms for said
:CAUTION GROSS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK:
Do you want to know how I got a bloody knee? Well, this is how started.
On a cold freezing Saturday morning there I was standing with Rangimarie, her mum,her dad, Huhanna, my mum, Kullen and some people from the team. We were at Kaikohe Netball court getting ready for our netball game. I whispered “Where are they?” “Umm I don't know” Rangimarie replied.
A few minutes into our warm up Aunty Mere told us who we were against. She happily sang out “We’re vs East we’re vs East”. We all shouted “ yeah!” It was a funny moment. A while later, there we were out on the netball court with Kaikohe East I was playing wing defence.
Nearly half way through the game Boom I fell to the ground on my knee it was this big--------. Ouchy! . It was bleeding. My graze stung like a bee-sting. Lucky it wasn't night and vampires aren't real i thought to myself. I was scared. I was almost about to cry but, I didn't. I keep going and never gave up. Later it was half time Aunty Mere nicely asked me “are you ok?” I replied “yeah, just fine. Thats what happens when you play sports aye?”
A few steals later it was the second half. I was on the court with my cousin Alexis she was wing attack and I was wing defence. The whistle blew wewewe! I ran to defence so that East couldn’t get the ball .Out came the big girl blocking me, I couldn’t get through. It was hot the sun was punching me down.Drip drop drip drop do you know what that was???(It was my sweat slipping down my body as I played). I was breathless trying to steal the ball of them I mean totally puffing. I was like a steam train. A couple of missed shoots later and the game was over. East School didn’t have much to say. I asked “cat got your tongue?” They nodded their heads.
We were all sad but happy that we had participated.I will always remember that feeling when we lost to a good team.
