How I got Pulled Over

This is a story about how I was pulled over on the way to school. The story starts the night before, it was a Monday night and the wild card round of the NFL Playoffs. The Cleveland Browns, my favorite team, were facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was a huge deal for many reasons, first the Browns and the Steelers are bitter rivals and have been for many years. Also, it was the Browns first playoff game in 18 years! I was very excited to watch the game which started at 8:15pm, but I failed to remember that I had lifting with the football team at 5:45am the next morning. I didn’t care about going to bed early that night because the game was so important to me. Anyway, the Browns ended up winning the game and I was very happy. I didn’t get to bed until around 1am.

I woke up early the next day, still happy from the Browns win last night, but I didn’t wake up early enough to make it on time to the gym. I took the normal route to the school but when I reached the gate that leads into the parking lot, it was closed. I panicked, I looked at the clock and saw it read 5:42, I then turned my car around and drove towards the other entrance which was about five minutes away. As I was driving 40 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, I noticed a police car parked in the church parking lot to my left. I became nervous as I was obviously going past the speed limit.

The Police man eventually caught up to me right before I turned into the school. He took my license and registration back to his cruiser. While he was in his car all I could think about was how my mom would be mad at how expensive the ticket would be. I also couldn’t help but think how my coach would react to being late to a team lift. The cop came back to my window and luckily let me go with a warning. I was relieved because I survived not receiving a ticket but still haven’t survived my coach’s wrath.
