Have you ever been left behind by your wrestling team just after practice or any other sport, or by your family? Just before you head off to a game, event, or trip? Well I have and I can tell you it’s not pleasant. Especially when it’s the middle of December and there's snow on the ground and you lack a sweater or jacket. This is my story of how I got left behind and what happened to me during those two hours. Although this adventure could have stopped I decided to go no more.

I run after it for a few more blocks and get near a Subway restaurant.
This is where this little adventure could’ve ended but I thought it was a lost cause. When I got to the Subway the bus took a left at the end of the road. When they turned I thought, “ Wow, they actually forgot me.” I could’ve kept following them but I decided not to. They went went to go pick up another vehicle because the van was getting crowded. When I saw them turn I just gave up and went back to the school. On my way back I met a friend who used to go to
