A really bad day

Yesterday was a really bad day. My friends and I had planned a trip to a theme park and I was really looking forward to it. But when packing my bag to go there, I realised that I had no pocket money left, so I needed to ask my parents for some extra money. They told me to clean the garage to get some extra money, so I started to do that. While cleaning the garage, I dropped a box of tools, so I had to clean up even more.

Finally, I could leave home with the money I needed and took the bus to the city centre. The bus was packed with passengers and the people were annoyed just trying to get in. Sitting on the bus, I remembered that I had left my phone at home, so I couldn't call my friends to tell them that I was late. My friends tried to call me, but they couldn't reach me, starting to worry and becoming angry at the same time.

I was so late that we all missed the train to the theme park. While walking back from the train station, nobody said a word.
