The sun was shining brightly and the birds were chirping merrily. Little did I realize that would turn out to be such an unlucky day for me.

I reached school bright and early that day, for I had been chosen to play in the important football match against another school. I hopped excitedly from one foot to the other. I would hardly wait for the match to begin. Suddenly, I slipped and fell into the drain at the edge of the field. I was not hurt but I smelt awful. I was also terribly embarrassed, for I knew that the girls were watching me. I was even more horrified to see my elder sister running across the field towards me. She made a great fuss over me. My team-mates stood by, looking on with amused eyes. I was relieved when the match began then.

We ran to and fro on the field, running after the ball. Just before half-time, the other team managed to score a goal.

In the second half of the match, my team-mates put up a good show. Three of our players coordinated beautifully and scored a goal. The applause from our supporters was thunderous. I could see the girls waving wildly. I was determined to score a goal myself.

Five minutes before the end of the match, I saw my chance. I scored a goal! It was an easy goal. The goal-keeper was so stunned that he did not even attempt to save the goal. I was surprised at the silence of the spectators. Instead of receiving friendly thumps on my back from my team-mates, I got hostile glares. I thought the goal-keeper looked very familiar. It was then that I realized that I had scored a goal for the other team.

The game ended with the other team winning. I tried to hide myself in the changing room, but was surrounded by angry students before I could slip away. They gave me such a dressing-down that I almost cried.

What an extremely horrible and unlucky day it was!
