Chapter 3

I made up a game called blitzball. I convinced all of my friends to play the game. I invented this game because I didn't like all of the other sports games that we played because I didn't like their rules. I found a medicine ball lying around, and we decided to use that as our ball. When the person has the ball, they are the target, and when they have the ball they can get tackled. As the game went on, I was making more rules as the game went on. I also like blitzball a lot because in the end, There really is no winner. One day Gene and I decided to go to the swimming pool, and I decided that I wanted to do the 100 yards freestyle and see if I could beat A. Hopkins Parker. After I finished the race, I beat his time by .7 seconds. Gene was so proud of me and wanted to tell everyone, but I didn't want him to tell anyone. I decided to go to the beach with Gene. When we were at the beach, I talked to Gene about how great a friend he is, and that he is really happy that he is his best friend.
