*Ciara's P.O.V*
Me and Caitlin are preparing ourselves for sports day. We've had to skip our PE lesson and run around the whole field. It's so hard but I'm glad to be athletic because otherwise, I'd be absolutely sh*t.

I'm not scared or embarrassed to run in front of the whole school. I've done it plenty of times so I'm used to it.

"Come on Caitlin!" I said, keeping her going.

She was breathing heavily.

"Shut up Ciara. This is hard!" She exclaimed.

"I know it is." I grinned and focused on my running.

"How do you do it?" She asked as she slowed down and stopped.

I stopped and looked at her. My response was a simple shrug.

"I suppose being called fat from the age of 8 till 15 has made me wanna loose weight and I guess I've become more athletic." I said remembering all them times I got called fat.

I wasn't the slimmest child but I wasn't the fattest. People were just really judgemental to me but when I lost weight, they had immediately stopped. I'm confident with my body now. There's nothing to hide. Yes I have a few stretch marks on my hips but they've faded. It's hardly noticeable. Curves are better than being skinny.

"You weren't even fat." Caitlin said frowning.

"It's over and done with now. That's the past and this is the present." I said wisely.

"Ciara. Should we go out to the racing track today?" Cam suggested.

"I suppose we can. I have no plans for tonight. Are the others joining us?" I asked.

"Yes. They all suggested it in the first place." He replied.

"I remembered the races we had. We haven't raced in a long time." He continued with a sad smile.

"Alright then. Lets go." I smiled.

"Hey! You cheated!" Carter whined.

"No I didn't. I'm just better at driving." I smirked, earning laughs from the guys that were watching.

We had driven the cars that Hugo got for us all. We all have sport cars. Me and Caitlin went for the Porsche whilst the others went for the Lamborghini's and Mercedes.

I was now racing Cam. I drove to the start line. I heard his car by the side of mine. I turned to see him already looking at me.

(Listen to something racy to get you in the mood. It works)

"May the best one win." He smirked.

"Good luck." I smirked back and looked towards the front.

We were waiting for the green light to flash. Seconds passed and the lights slowly started to change colour. I revved my engine and he soon did the same.

3....2....1

I pushed my foot down on the pedal and started to drive. I looked at my rear mirror to see the dirt from the ground forming mini, dusty tornados.

I increased my speed and swerved round the sharp bend which created more dust that hit onto Cam's windscreen.

I lightly chuckle to my self knowing how serious he's taking this. I noticed that he picked up his pace and drove aside me. He then drove ahead of me and was officially in lead.
