Something that took place in school
Butterflies were fluttering madly in my stomach as i anxiously wait for my turn to run for my house,Kallang.It was the annual Track and Fields House games which sadly my house didn't get the top place for the previous years.
With hope gleaming in our eyes now,we are hoping our best if we could, to try and get secnd or third placing for this year's games.Even better sill,try to get the first placing for the annual Track and Fields games.
Even though it may seem impossible and trainings might be fruitless we might never know if we try.If we are determined and confident,with no doubt we might,we will grab the trophy,rightfully ours for the rest of the year.
"Yes!"i exclaimed excitedly in my head.We are now tied for first placing with Glam house with two hundred and twenty points each.And what's more,the last very last event,which is running,which will determine the winner of the overall games is now upon my shoulders.The sweat,blood and tears of the "torturous" trainings is upon this very 800m race: which i am suppose to run in.
As people walk past me,they gave words of encouragement and"good luck" for my race.As the emcee called the runners to fall out near the station for our numbers to be pasted on our backs, i waited nervously to the booth, nervous and excted.
"1,2,3... GO!" Bursting forward,i ran as fast as my legs could carry me.Huffing and puffing,i reach the 400m mark and managing a grin.I was second in the race,with a Glam competitor in the lead.Telling myself to give in a little extra,so as to catch up to the runner in front of me.
600m mark: I could almost grab him from where i am standing.Straining my legs to burst up more adrenlenine so as to gain speed.Using the last ounce of my energy,i tried to maintain my speed in order to cover the last 200m.
As i past the last white line,I practically lay on the track,completel exhausted from running.Even so, i managed to look at the scoreboard."Yes!!"I managed to shout jumping up in ecstasy.We had won!!I got took first placing by just a mere second.
As my house mates rushe around to congratulate me.some carrying me,i felt a great sense of achievement.As they walked back carrying me on thier shoulders,i gleamed and smiled,all the hard work paying off.
