OK, this story is fact based on real life events which happened at my school a while back, it might be quite long, but i want to make sure you all understand.
It started with football. Our year group were happily playing a game of 'x versus y' when a member of a lower year group kicks the ball away. This sparks an outrage and members of our year group begin stealing the football of the younger year group. This goes on for some time before an individual was hurt. He was from the younger year group and sufferend minor injuries, bruises after being kicked and trampoled while on the floor.
A few weeks later, most people had forgot but the icident was far from over. The child who was injured told his mother, who contacted police and the school who together looked into a case of assault. The school was highly dissappointed in the actions of it's pupils and immediately announced a ban on football altogether, which as you can immagine, enfuriated pretty much all male members of the school. The decision to ban football, turned out to be a bad one.
The ban had been in place for about two weeks and our year group was really getting depressed about the situation, afterall there was nothing to do at break or dinner anymore. So, on a very wet day, a small crowd of friends gather and began discussing the ban and their view upon it. Before long the crowd grew and had begun chanting football songs and i must say, everyones spirits were really high, and the noise was immense. After around 10 minutes of chanting, dancing and shouting in the rain, a coach appeared on the school yard and one pupil shouted 'CHARGE!!'. Then, out of anger and to my disbelief, the whole crowd ran towards the coach like a herd of wild animals and begin banging on the sides screaming 'let us in' and 'open up'. The coach driver was terrified but managed to pluck up the courage to confront the mob. He clambered out and yelled 'go on get out of here'. By this time pretty much the whole school had joined the riot and various fruits including apples were thrown, one managing to place a dent in the side of the couches bodywork. The sight was a disgrace to the Church of England school and as one might expect, staff were soon on the scene.
The mob disbanded soonafter and everyone resumed their normal activity, rant over and point got across - banning football was a bad idead -everyone felt alot better, some were even pround of their actions. But of course, their was consiquences, the coach company refused further assistance to the school and the reputation of the pupils was slightly damaged, but if anything good did come from this, football was unbanned. :)
Now you all may think that this is all make believe, but i assure you it is not, for those of you who took the time to read it, thank you, and i'd just like to say, i made the story sound slightly better than it was but all the events are not fiction.
