Races

"On your marks, set, goooo!!!"

We jump into the pool as the crowd cheers, we swim as fast as we can, with Dave leading and me in third place. It was taking everything I have to keep up with the third, after we reach the end of the pool, we dive underneath to turn and push ourselves forward. After reaching halfway of the pool, I could feel my breath getting thin, oxygen running out and my stamina low, everything was beginning to go dull, I feel like I want to faint which I did inside the pool. After thirty seconds or more of no movement from me, someone jumps in to rescue me, they apply pressure on my chest cause I wasn't breathing and finally I cough out water and breath heavily.

"He's aliveeee!!!" The hype man yelled

"Yaaaayyyhhhhh! Wwuuuoooooo!!!" The whole crowd responded.

"Nice race, you good?" A guy said to me as he offers me a hand.

"Yeah I'm fine, who won?" I asked as he pulls me up.

"Who do you think?"

"Right." I turn to look around for Brittney but she is gone. " Shit."

"Something on your mind? Who you looking for?"

"The blonde girl sitting next to that guy, seen her?"

"Who? Brittney? She took off, she don't hang around much."

"How'd you know her?"

He laughs. " she's my teammate."

"You an athlete too?"

"Andy Bostick, in the flesh." He said as he gives me a firm handshake.

" Woody. I thought I'd see more of Brittney at this party. " I sigh.

"You like her don't you? She ain't the party kind. If you wanna see more of her, you're going to have to be an athlete, she's always on the track. Most times, alone, just doing her thing." He said, taps my shoulder and leaves.

I immediately decide to be an athlete 😂. After all my football coach always adviced me to be an athlete cause of my speed, guess it's time I take his advice.

I take a few shots of alcohol and head home, I was walking on the road late in night, tipsy and exhausted untill I hear a car honk at me with a familiar voice. It was Sue's.

"Hey, get in. I'll drop you off"

"Thanks but no thanks." I said as I continue walking.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean for it to go sideways. I never got a chance to say thank you for not blowing me off when I kissed you, the least I can do is drive you home."

Truth be told I didn't really know where I was going and I knew I'd fall anytime soon so I took her offer and she drives me home.

"Thanks." I said to her before she drives away, I go straight to bed.

The next morning, I stretch and I feel the pillow was a little to soft and small to be a pillow. With my eyes still close I use my hand to touch the pillow and I could feel something soft and pointy in the middle, I press it in then I hear a moan, my eyes immediately open wide. I press it in again and I hear a moan, I jump out of bed hastily and trip on the floor .

"Ow..."

I raise my head up to check and it was Luna sleeping. "Oh my God..." I said quietly as I realize I spelt in the wrong bed but I am glad she is still asleep and I really hope nothing happened last night cause I have no memory of how I got naked. I quickly grab a pillow and run into the bathroom to take a shower, I come out twenty minutes later, I put on a short and a shirt and I head to Cambridge's sport center to apply for athleticism . After enrolling, I take a track gear from a locker and join coach Maxwell and the other athletes , Luke , Dave, Sidney, Dylan, Kevin, Adrian, Grant, Ben, Andy, Tom, Noah, Joseph, Brittney, Megan, Madison, Claudia, Cookie, Nina, Naya, Kylie, Emily, Gwen, Alice and Victoria on the track.

Brittney and the others are warming up when I get there.

"Give me five more laps!" Coach Maxwell yelled.

Coach Maxwell

"Excuse me sir."

"What is it!?" He asked.

"I'm here for tryouts sir."

"Do I look like a basket ball coach!? Go join the football club." He replied then ignores me.

"I'm... I'm fast sir."

"Is that so? Everyone! Take five, Luke! Get over here."

"Yes coach."

"Teach this pig how to run." Coach said to Luke.

"Have you had any warm ups?" Luke asked.

"I just got here." I replied.

"Take a lap then we race."

"Isn't that the dude who almost drowned yesterday?" Alice said.

"He is." Emily replied.

"What's he doing here?" Victoria added.

"What's the coach thinking? He obviously can't keep up with Luke." Emily said.

"Who knows, maybe the kid's got skill." Adrian said.

"What do you think Brit?" Sidney asked.

"I don't know, why you askin me?" she replied.

"Can we all just sit down and enjoy the bloody show😌" Noah said.

After taking a lap, I get on the track with Luke. Luke Star wasn't a freshman, it was his third year and he  has won the most trophies and medals Cambridge's ever had, he even represented his country and the only person who could keep up with him was Andy. This race was already decided.

Name : Luke Star

"Ready?" Luke asked.

"Yeah..." I said with a nervous voice.

The coach sits down on a high chair eating peanuts, waiting for Luke to totally leave me in dust so he'd say I wasn't good enough to make the team. Truth is i don't even care about making the team, I only decided to join so I'd get closer to Brittney.

"On your marks." Luke and I take our pose. "Get set." The race was about to start just when a miracle happen.

"Umn coach, mind if I join this race." Dave said with a smirk.
