When I first joined my secondary school, I actually had a social life. I would be out every weekend with friends. Off to see what's new in the shops, Play on the money-eating penny machines on the pier and just a chance to get away from my town.
Slowly my social life has been decreasing, until I only have a few weekends out shopping/getting away from the town every month. I know, "Loser" probably pops into your mind, it's also in mine too.
Today was one of the days I managed to get out, thankfully away from the stress of coursework, sixth form and college choices. Although it was raining all day we still didn't mind as we went to celebrate one of my friends birthdays by going bowling. I haven't been bowling in years, now that I was going. I did admittedly enjoy every bit of it.
One indecent did happen though. Not going to lie when I say I almost cried. I had thrown the ball down the lane and from out of nowhere I saw another ball fly down the same lane. Questioningly I turned to find my friend with a smug, sly look plastered over her face. Instantly, I felt a challenge coming on and the next time it was her turn I was going to do it back to her.
As she went to bowl the ball down the lane, I came running behind her throwing the ball down the lane. However, the ball had slipped out my hand too early. It smacked the safety net and bounced into her leg. This ball was a medium ball - quite light but rock solid. - She let out a cry as she fell to the floor. Seeing that she was okay by her moans and groans and slightly rude, insulting words I soon joined her on the floor. I couldn't stop laughing, along with some of the others. After my injured friend got dragged my her feet off the lane we carried on with the bowling. I lost quite badly. Twice. No surprise really.
Later that day we had got the bus back having stocked up on as much sweet food as we wanted. We soon arrived back in our town, thankfully the bus stopped right outside Costa. I love Costa. The aromas, the drinks, the pictures and the design all work so well together.
Sitting in Costa we chatted and tried on all the things we had purchased from Superdrug and Boots. After tragically putting on the lip tint wrong my phone had received a text. It was on loud and the ringtone was in my eyes a brilliant song. From the faces my friend pulled she completely disagreed. Maybe it's due to my horrible choice of ringtones that my social life is decreasing? Who knows.
