The boy next door

One morning there was a boy named Matt who had blond short hair, Matt woke up super excited, then he went to the kitchen to eat his delicious breakfast. There was a competition held at the skate park that he wished he could attend. His mum declined, as he got so frustrated he went to his bedroom. He was about to explode with anger inside of him so he stomped his feet out to the front door. He yelled to his mum that he was going for a walk so he let out his anger but some just thought he was crazy.

The next day Matt woke up and felt pain in his legs his mum says, “ it was probably yesterday after that long walk you took, he responded “ it probably is.
