Athletics Day

   Athletics Day...                    

Waiting. The most boring thing in existence. No really, it is. I was standing in lane 5 waiting. It was like a clock was in my head. Tick Tock. It was like I forgot everything around me. My friends, the crowd screaming and my compassion. Yeah you know the clock in my head? Well it was getting kinda annoying. Tick Tock. The lady holding the gun said something I didn't hear. Something about the finish line? Oh well. A pounding in my ears soon accompanied the annoying clock. Tick Tock. A girl beside me tensed. Then BANG! It was like a window shattering and all the noise rushed back to me in the second it took to register what had happened. We all bolted like rabbits. Some faster than others. I started to sprint and the finish line drew closer and closer. Then it was all over. My legs burned and an adrenaline rush overtook me. Suddenly it was like some weird thing had consumed my vision. Like I was looking at everything through a tunnel. For a second I forgot what I was doing and who was saying my name. “ Come on Leo, It's Georgia's race soon”. Kate said. “ Coming” I mumbled as she dragged me to the start line by my wrist. The gun went off again and I jumped. Kate giggled at my shock and tugged me along. The gun went off again and all you could see were 7 colourful blurs. Two red, one yellow, three blue and one green. We all started jumping and screaming for Georgia. At the end of the track we found her lying flat on the ground with a hand covering her face. “ It hurts. Help me up” she said from behind her hand. We laughed and dragged her up. Then we ran off giggling like crazy. “ HEY. not fair guys not fair!” she pouted “ You didn't just race, and i'm tired”. “ suck it up buttercup” we shouted and I grinned. Today was the best day of the year for sure
