Post things that have happened to you of mild interest here. (also me trying to get into the mood to finish my script)
I am awful at sports. Awful. Try my best, but I'm pretty awful. So in fifth grade we're playing this strange sort of volley ball- people would be sent into this jail section for some rule or another and the only way to get them released was to get your ball over the net and have it hit the ground without being intercepted. Our (male) teacher would go to one side or another, and it was an obvious advantage.
Kids would call out names, and if someone couldn't catch the ball before it hit the ground- that kid was out. If you wanted to clear out your jail, all you needed to do was call "Jailbreak!"
My solution? Stand in the corner pathetically hiding.
Well, this method isn't really the best, I realized as I and this other girl were the only two people left on our side. Kids sat boredly in the jail section. The other team was owning us, with more then half their people still in and the teacher. We get the ball. I stare at the other girl.
"Take it."
She refuses.
I pleade.
She won't.
The only thing left for me to do is serve it. This tall kid on the other side, excellent at this game, is staring at me with an amused look on his face.
Unable to do anything else, I serve the ball and yell "Jailbreak!"
And it hits the ground.
Cue screaming from tons of kids around me. I somehow manage to get my entire team that's out back into the game- winning it for us. Pure luck, dumb luck. However, that is the only time in my life I have won a sports game singehandly, so i regard it with fondness, dumb luck or not.
Go ahead and write your own story.
