2nd place!?
No!!! The other swimmer beat me by a second!
I clenched my teeth with frustration.
But then I saw girl who won first was an American swimmer.
The crowd chanted her name over and over.
At least least our team another gold.
I took my swimcap and my goggles off. The U.S.A. swimmer walked over to me.
"Nice swimming." she smiled.
"Thanks!" I smiled back.
She seemed nice enough.
Later at my metal ceremony, I got my silver medal. I felt different about things.
Maybe getting silver wasn't so bad...But I still needed to improve on how I swam.
Why not go sight-seeing to lift my mood after this! Great idea! I always wanted to see London at night.
Later...
It was really dark out. The only thing bright were shining street lights.
Big Ben was huge. I was gazing at while still walking.
Oof! I walked into someone. I looked in his face. He had short brown hair, a large, chin, and kind of crooked teeth. He looked really cute!
"Um, are you okay sir?" I said awkwardly.
