I was excited I couldn't get it  out of my mind. My grandma told me to please put the board outside. So I put on my fuzzy slippers and went into the bitter cold night. I set the skateboard on the cold cement. I went back inside where it was warm. We all went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and went straight outside to the backyard. I went straight to the resting place of my brand new skateboard. I looked for it and it wasn't there I started to panick. And I went inside to ask my grandma and aunt if they had seen it or moved it they said ¨ No¨. I went outside and looked again and it wasn't there I started bawling. I couldn't believe in less than twenty-four hours. I then went the whole day depressed. I later went out to the front yard and saw my white as vanilla neighbors skating outside. When they put down their boards I playing with my board. I went inside and told my aunt. She went to tell them and they said it was theirs. My aunt got into a arguI remember when I was a little kid I had nothing. I always wanted to buy things that others had. I have always remembered the one Christmas when I given a skateboard from Walmart. To me that was the best present ever at the time. I loved it it had a fierce looking bulldog with spit coming down it's mouth. I was so happy I couldn't wait to try to ride it the next morning. I ran to my aunt who bought me the skateboard and who was also living with my grandma and us at the time and gave her a bear hug. I couldn't believe at the time that was amazing now it is nothing if I ask my parents for a board at Walmart they would say no we could buy you a good quality one.
ment and at the end we did not get it back. A few months later we came home from Chuck E. Cheese. We saw one of the neighbors boards on our driveway and my aunt sped up and snapped it in half with the car. The neighbors saw and just looked in shock. I thought to myself Karma's a b****
