Something Tapped Me Short Story

Improved Essays
Something tapped me. I woke up and I saw my dad. I knew what day it was and I got filled up with excitement. Today was the the USC vs UCLA game. It was a big game because we were rivals and we were going with my dad and my two cousins Evano and Matthew. Both of them were boys and they both play football. Evano was 15 and Matthew was 12. I put on all my clothes and we got ready to go. We grabbed the tickets and went to our car.
We drove all the way to a starbucks near where they lived and picked them up. We then left on the way to L.A. When we reached L.A. we parked and we walked towards the coliseum. On the way we saw a lot of USC fans tailgating as long as some UCLA fans booing us on the way to there. When we got to the coliseum it was

I told my dad, “Do you think we will catch up?” and he said, “Yea!” On the start of the 2nd quarter we got the ball and we scored to make it 10-7. Then the scored again. That tied the game up 17-17 after they scored a touchdown and a field goal. We stopped them then something happened. Our player named Adoree Jackson got the ball from a punt and ran past all the defenders scoring a touchdown! The crowd went crazy! I got up and started screaming with the rest of the crowd happily. The score was 24-17 and the 3rd quarter just started. They then scored again to make it 24-24. After that a fumble, 2 touchdowns passes by our player name Cody Kessler, and a safety won us the game 40-21. On the way back we all started chanting, “USC! USC!” in front of all the UCLA fans mocking them after they were mocking us at the beginning of the game.
But then the fun didn’t end there we went to this really good place called Benihana where they cook food in front of you and do knife tricks in the middle of cooking the food. They kept giving us food and I stuffed myself so much when it came to the main dish I was almost full. I ate half of the main dish. After that we got ice cream sundaes and then went home.
On the way home I thought to myself if you win or lose the game will still be fun if you have nice, outgoing people around you watching the game with you such as my dad and my

I think it almost brought us closer as a family because we spent the whole day together.…

    It was well-documented what took place in the next three minutes. After our offense stalled and went three and out, Big Red proceeded to score a touchdown on a 97-yard drive (courtesy of a fake punt), score another touchdown following an onside to make it 14-7, and finally take a 14-point lead after they scored once again following a Creek turnover. Just like that, a 21-point swing knocked all the wind out of our sails. We responded with a two-yard score to make it 21-13, but it was all Big Red from there.…
