A really bad day

Today I am having a really bad day. It started early in the morning. First, when I was having

breakfast my milk spilled on my white shirt uniform so as a result I had to change uniform. Because of

my spill I was really late to school!

Once I got to school, my teacher was really upset because I missed a spelling quiz. I felt really sad

because my teacher was angry. At lunch time my friends made fun of me because my uniform shirt was

the wrong color for the day. I felt really angry at them because they were not kind. Later, at break two

boys playing with their ball hit me on my head and as a result my head hurt the rest of the day.

At the end of the day I had to walk home because my mom couldnt pick me up. A bad storm started

and it started raining heavily , so I got really wet while walking in the street .I got sick with the flu! I

really hope tomorrow I have a better day.
