Billy the Kid
Billy the Kid, how his teachers and fellow students call him, is 13 years old, and is going to be 14 in less than a month. He attends the local school and plays football whenever he can. For Billy, football is his true love and even though he is not a big guy he is small and fast weighing only 120 pounds, but once hes in a sprint there is not a single soul fast enough to catch him. Football is the only thing he gives his best in, trying hard to achieve what his coach is asks. Billy always has school in the morning, which suits him because then he has time for homework and later football practice. Sometimes he thinks about how his life is kind of monotonous because all he does is: goes to school in the morning, comes back home at four, does his homework till six and then he has a bus to catch at six thirty so he can get to practice at seven, after practice he is anyway too tired to watch tv so he just goes to bed. However, there was one day that shook him up, and made him remember it for the rest of his life. It was a monday, and Billy just finished his homework so he dressed up, took his bag for practice, and went on the bus. After only a couple of stops he saw a tall woman, all dressed in blue, with curly red hair and purple thick-rimmed glasses. As she slowly staggered in her dark brown eyes glanced at him. Billy never saw something like that, and he was terrified. She literally looked like the devils' wife and he wouldnt be suprised if she just took the subway from hell and came to get him. He heard the beeping sound that goes off before the doors close, and in the last moment he jumped out and started running away from the bus. Two minutes later he stopped, took a deep breath and tried to relax. He realized what his stupid imagination just did. It started raining. Billy looked up and a tiny drop of rain fell on his warm cheek. He grinned. The next bus comes in 40 minutes and his training starts in...
