                                                       The Fight 

                                By: Julio

            Boom boom! I heard as the ball got hit from the bat. One day I was going to the park and I saw my friends Albert and Sting. I shouted “watts up to them” they both replied with, “Nothing much. Just going to play some baseball”. I responded “Can I play?” Then Albert said, “No, just joking. But you have to be on my team”. I knew what was coming up and I watched as my two best friends fought over whose team I was going to be on. I told them after a while of enjoyment “give it a rest how about me vs. both of you”. They took on the challenge. I was so called “the best kid” at baseball on my block but I didn’t rub it in any ones face. We started to play. I got to bat first in which this case the ball was hit so hard my friend couldn’t even catch it. We kept on playing and I knew I was going to win.

6pm

            We were so tired of playing that we all went to the store to  buy some vitamin water and Albert was short some change and the man wouldn’t let us go. Sting and I ran all the way home to get change. When we left, Albert was back at the park. At the park we continued to play the game and I forgot how many points I had. Albert thought he was slick and said that I had 2 points less than him but I remember I wrote the number on my hand. We were finally playing and I kept on getting doubles and no triples. I won the game. Know the kids finally believe that I was the best baseball player on the block.

            Sting went for a sip of water and a kid pushed him out of the way so he could skip him. Sting wasn’t having that and got up to push him back. I went to go and jump in the fight and Albert told me “let him fight” I watched and saw another kid came to jump Sting. I tried to hold it in but I could not. I screamed “that’s it!!!!!!!!” I ran and I joined into the fight. POW POW it happened all at once and way to fast. I smelled the sweat in the air. I felt the kid hit me in my head. The fight was over the person in the park stopped it. After that we were ok and I was going to stay over my friends. A crazy day, but a true experience about friendship.
