Short Story: The Football Club

My name is David. I am ten years old. My parents are May and Michael. We live in Hong Kong in a small flat above a seafood resturant. I go to school everyday and study Science, Math, English, and History. Those are boring, but I like playing football and swimming. My school is next to a big football field where after school I go with my friends to play. My friend Peter has a football that he brings to school with him so that we can play. I wish I had one. Dad says we don’t have enough money for one, but one day maybe I will be a really good boy and I'll get one.
