Starting Soon

"Why am I the last runner of all people?" Michael said with a little complaint in his tone while looking at his teammates.

"Because aside from Chad, you're the most athletic in the group. So I'm assuming that you can swim?" Lisa said with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course I can swim, I'm just not sure if it's enough to beat Elrand" Michael replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Hurhur, that's why I'm going halfway so that we can take a huge lead since I'm a better swimmer than the rest in the other team" Chad said with an arrogant tone, arms crossed.

"Just take your time during the race so you won't tire easily. The girls will go first, then followed by us guys" Michael said to the people in his team.

Before long, everyone was finally  done preparing themselves and their instructor immediately called for their attention.

"Are the two teams ready? First swimmers come forward!" the instructor shouted as he raised the starting pistol in the air.
