Day nine..

When everyone went to bed, i borrowed Yusuf's ball as i did not want to risk opening my rucksack and making noise getting my ball. i dribbled it down the street when i suddenly hear a whisper. It's Bibi! She said she saw me creeping out of the cellar. As i wonder how to get her back without waking the neighbours, she demands to know where mom and dad were. i tell her that they were in disguise and had gone to warn the parents of other students.
Out of the blue, she says she wants to play and snatches the ball. I stare at her amazed with her moves. A wonderful idea struck me; we can impress the government together! Bibi kicks the ball hard but misses one of Mr. Nasser's unbroken window and thumps into our house. Then, it explodes! Our House! A roar of wind smashes into us and flings us both to the ground. i roll onto Bibi and try to cover as much of her body with mine. People are screaming and running. Our house was gone!
Then, someone pulls us to our feet. It was dad.
