Silver Fern future.

I am learning to add figurative language to my work and synonyms for said to match my mood.

“Wake up wake up come on, it's Saturday it’s Netball today let's get ready” I growled to my mum and dad. “Yes yes” My mum and dad sluggishly replied. Just that second I went Swoosh! I was out of that room like lighting I could feel the wind picking up my speed, I had gone into my room and gotten my uniform on and put my shoes on. It was like I was ready in seconds. Broom! I flashed into my mum and dad’s room they were slugs just getting out of bed “come on we're going to be late” I angrily said. I went and got all the netball gear ready and then put it in the car. Slam! went the door. I ran all the way to my mum’s room. The bed was literally tidy and my dad was getting ready. My mum was just getting out of the shower, maybe I was the slug after all.  A few minutes later we were all set and ready to set off to the netball courts.

When we had arrived there the cold weather begun to numb my body, and the courts were as slippery as a snake. We walked to find our team and my eyes alarmed off at the sight of our bright yellow straps on our uniform. “Here they are!” I shouted to my mum and dad, we all ran over like cheetahs in a race. The whole team was there we were definitely late. We went over to court seven to warm up. We were warming up by running down the court and we also played a game where you had to skip and catch the ball. Kaya was the winner overall, she was like a soldier preparing for war she was focused and ready for action.

A few more minutes later we went to court five to get ready for our game, the T-Road Diamonds coach checked our nails a lot of the children had that were too long . The bell rang it was time for our game my mum was getting seven of us bibs, the position C was Laviniah, GD was me, GA was Charlie, WD was Tuishaly, WA was Sheyani, GS was Te hana and GK was Kohl-lee. I was like an engine extremely excited to drive for that ball. A few seconds after that the umpire whistle went off the game began. I went  Boom! I stretched as high as the sky tower and caught an intercept. I passed it back to my teammates and we scored a goal!.

“Go Go Go!!!”  all I could hear was “Go Go Go!!!” it was being cheered from the sidelines. It was now the fourth quarter the sun was smiling down on us. Even though we were losing, we were all having a blast. I was cheering them on saying “come on guys we can do it.” I could see a slight change in their attitude they were all trying so hard. I I wondered if I would still love Netball as much as I do now.Then at the final seconds Ring! Ring! the bell went off. I went on the court and told my teammates they had an awesome game. We all gave each other a high five then shook the other team’s hands. 1-6 to them, the score was average, it could've been better.

My favorite part of it all was when my  mum announced “the two (players of the day) are Heaven and Laviniah” I went up to them, “nice job guys you definitely deserved this” I would've of voted for them as well, Heaven achieved amazing intercepts and laviniah was incredible even though she was way shorter than West School.

I had an amazing Saturday and loved the good game that we all participated in. In the future I hope to be a Silver fern.
