That morning nothing was suggesting it will be the worst day in Emily's life. She as always woke up at 7 o'clock but with a small difference - it was her 17th birthday! She dressed up white elegant jeans, purple short-sleeved shirt and put make up on her face. 'Beautiful !' - Emily said and smiled to her reflection in the mirror.
While she was locking the door, she saw a bus around the corner. Emily was running and shouting to stop a driver, but the bus drove away.
Her cheeks were red with frustration and a pointless effort.
She had to going to school on foot. From nowhere, a car appeared and splashed her jeans with mud. 'Oh my God !' - she screamed.
On the first lesson Emily had a maths exam. 'Oh no! I don't know anything!' - she asked her best friend for help. When teacher turned to the board, Emily tried to copy answers from Amy. All of a sudden, Mr. Smith came to Emily and whipped her sheet. 'F ! You two stay after lesson.' - he said. Emily looked at her friend and murmured 'Sorry' to upset Amy.
While Emily was going home, her mum rang her and asked with anger: 'Where are you? I have been waiting for 50 minutes! If you don't come within 10 minutes, you will eat cold dinner!' and hung up.
Finally she arrived to home, ate a meal, took from muffin pan one cupcake baked by her mum. Emily decorated it with whipped cream, put a candle and lighted its. Then blew out the candle and wished herself: 'Happy birthday to me...'

Around 7 yrs ago I was casually going back to home from my favorite fossil spot. I had 2 buckets full of stones, fossils and minerals. I was very happy about that fact. When I was in half way to home me arms starts hurting me because the buckets weighed around 4 kilo each. But of course I was very dogged and I think I can bring it to the home. Unfortunately I was wrong. While looking for more minerals out of nowhere I stumbled on a root of a tree and twisted my ankle. I was hurting so much and I was in the middle of forest, without mobile phone and any help. What the worst I must leave my buckets because I will not came back to home with them in this situation. I decided to hide them behind the tree and crawl to home. After 2 hours of painful crawling I arrived to more civilized place then forest where I met my neighbor. She asked me why I'm crawling. When I told her the whole story, she drove me back to home where my worried mother took care of my ankle.

Yesterday was the worst day in my life! I’ve never felt so embarrassed in my whole life! That unlucky day I was in school, the weather was awful, it was windy, cloudy and rainy so my mood was awful too. But the worst part of that day was that I had a math test!
Everyone knows that I hate math and I pretty bad at it. When I saw my math test I thought I would start crying. The task was so difficult that I couldn’t do any of them. I was so upset and angry! When the time was up, I gave back a blank sheet. I walked out of the math classroom and went to the coffee machine and I saw my classmate there. We started talking about math test. I was so angry that I started talking how much I hate math and math teacher. While I was talking my friend’s face turned more and more white. Then I heard my math teacher voice. He showed up from nowhere! I was shocked and I turned sharply towards him. Because of my awkwardness I funnel my coffee out over his white shirt. I swear I’ve never been as scared as I was then! My teacher was so angry! He screamed because the coffee was very hot. I just stand there and didn’t know what to do. My teacher ran screaming to the bathroom and I ran away to my home.
After that situation I have to stay after school from a month and do math assignments. Even though I apologized to my math teacher I still feel really bad and embarrassed when I see him.

It was going to be the best day of my life, because my favorite basketball player was coming to school. In the morning, with a smile on my face, I got dressed, ate breakfast and ran out of the house very quickly. Halfway through, my smile faded from my face. It started to rain and I forgot my umbrella from the house. When I got to school, soaked and tired, it turned out that there was still an hour until the basketball player's arrival. I calmly went to the cafe for tea and yogurt, because I forgot to take my lunch from home. I went outside, sat on the bench and began to eat. At that time, three children were playing football next to me, but I didn't realize the consequences and sat down next to them, because all the benches were full. Suddenly I didn't notice that the ball was coming straight at me. The ball went straight into my breakfast, all over my t-shirt I had smashed blueberry yogurt and spilled tea. I've never felt so embarrassed and angry that I didn't talk to my favorite basketball player. It was supposed to be the best day at school but it turned out to be the worst.

That unlucky, cold day I woke up sleepy and tired. I had to do extra work for my boss to earn some more money by overtime. After I took a shower, dressed up and made breakfast, I walked out to my car. I was already late so I rushed into the car. Immediately a cold gust of wind hit me and I realized that I’m moving fastly on black ice. I slipped and hurt my back. I got into the car and drove to work.
My work is to call people and convince them to buy products of the company I work in. Another of my duties is boring, stupid, ungreateful and unfullfiling completing protocols. So you can already imagine how much I hate this job. I sit here 10 hours a day and get screamed at by my boss. A nice change in my life is getting screamed at by some old lady. After 6 painful hours I’m calling another potential client. Some young lady picked up her phone and straight up started screaming and insulting me. Something just broke inside me. After so many seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks of this exhausting job I started screaming back. I said some awful things but feel of relief was so rewarding.
At the end of the day I got kicked out of my job. Now I don’t have any job and I’m desperate to get one. I always ruin something and my unluckliness is unbelievable, but now I will think twice before picking up a job that is literally killing me and making me unhappy more and more.

A couple of days ago I had a terrible Wednesday morning. It was quite windy and cold and everyone knew that finally, it’s going to rain. That day I not only woke up too late, but I also had to go, or in fact, run to school on foot because my dad’s car was broken. I thought that anything else can spoil my day, but it was only a beginning.
As the weather forecast was saying, a huge storm started at the same time when I went out, so with a bag on my shoulder and a gloomy mood I went to school in rain. Threw road my clothes became soaked. When I was near the school building, without warning a big, fast-driving truck ran into a deep puddle. Then water splashed on me and made me wetter than I was before!
There was no time to go to the changing room and dry my stuff. For the first lesson, I come into the classroom irritated and my teacher looked at me very shocked. Without saying anything I sat in my place and started unpacking my bag. From everything was dripping water! “Today is the last date for your homework,” the teacher said which immediately caught my attention. At the same time, I looked at my destroyed notebook resignedly. I never had such an unlucky morning.
I had to apologize to my teacher and ask for an extension of a term. Finally, she reluctantly accepted it because of that special situation. It was a lesson for me to always take an umbrella at least.

one sunny day I decided to go to my cousin. I took a city bus and bought a single ticket. It was really hot so I decided to stay at her house because it will be cooler. I asked her to check the return bus for me and so it took another few hours.
around 10 PM I decided to go to the bus stop and suddenly I saw a bus departing!! Then, I started to run fast but I didn’t have time to stop him. It turned out that Natalia looked at the wrong timetable. additionally - it was the last bus!
However, I decided to stay overnight with my cousin and spend extra time with her watching movies on netflix.

It was the first day of the recent summer holidays. The sun was shining and the skies were clear. It was also very hot outside. Me and my group of best friends wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather so we decided to do a garden party.
“Let’s play volleyball together!” Zuzia said, and after a while we all were ready to start a match. I was just getting ready to hit the ball, when suddenly I put my foot wrong and falled down. After that everyone ran up to me and were asking if everything was ok. I told them that I fell a big pain in my ankle. My friends took care of me quickly. Some of them went to a house to look for a first aid kit and the rest of them, at the same time, stayed with me and called my mum. She picked me up after a few minutes and took me to the hospital.
In the end it turned out that my ankle was twisted. My friends told me that they were really scared and worried about me. I felt really upset, because I had to stay at home a whole month. Why did I have to twist the ankle on the first day of vacation? I have no idea why I am so unlucky.

Yesterday when I was walking the dog in park I saw my boyfriend kissing with girl I didn’t know. I wanted to come closer to them, hide in bushes and watch them. I put on the hood and get in bushes. Meanwhile I found a bag. I had opened it(it was full of money) and few cops ran out and handcuffed me. Unfortunately it was a ransom that they had left for kidnapper. They refused to believe me until real kidnapper phoned to them after few hours and told there were no money for him/her. They said sorry to me and set me free. I was a little shocked and after a while I gen up they did nothing with my dog and I didn’t know where he is. I wanted to take my phone and call to my mum but I had trembling hands and I dropped my phone on the ground. The screen broke. I picked up my phone and finally I could call my mum. When she arrived she told me the dog is safe in house. At the end one last case remains- boyfriend. I had to finish with him.

A few years ago, when I was on my holiday by the sea with my family, I had strange incident. Me and my family were on the beach so I thought that I go to the shop alone. I had thirty minutes on foot. Along the way I noticed weird man with black backpack but I ignore him. When I left the store, I saw the same man as before who arguing with young woman and I thought that was her husband or boyfriend but after 10 minutes he took out knife and began to threaten. I hid behind the tree and called at the police. Police have arrived within 5 minutes and they took him. After this of course this lady thanks me but that was traumatic day. I came back to my family and told everything. They were in shocked but they were proud of me because I knew how to behave and for relaxion they bought me an ice- cream. After this situation my parents didn’t want to let me go anywhere alone and I’m not surprised I would have done it if I were the parent.
