Chapter 2

When I finished my 800 I got my time (2:18) then go off the track.
"Excuse me Cora Thomson?" Someone said behind me.

"Um, yes?" I ask turning around.

"Hello, my name is Adam Weidmer, and I'm from Miami University. We are very impressed with your races especially your mile and 800, and the fact that you are only a freshman. We would like it if you would come check out our track team some time soon." He said smiling, holding out a brochure.

I smiled taking the brochure out of his hands. "Thank you, I would absolutely love to come check out your collage, it's actually only a couple miles from my house."

"Well just give us a call and we can have you anytime that is convenient for you!" He says smiling.

"This guy smiles way to much." I say to myself.

"Yes, thank you once again. I'll have to talk to my mom about this as soon as I step foot into my house!" I smile.

"Well, seriously think about it we would love to have you on our track team! Just keep on improving the time!" He said holding out his hand.

I take his hand to shake "Well thanks!"

I go and run off to the camp where all my stuff is at.

"Who was that ya were talkin' to over there?" My best friend Macy asked.

"Oh, just a scout from M.U." I say casually.

"O.M.G.! Cora do you know how lucky you are? This is insane! You are going to talk to your family about this right? Because if you don't you are totally insane!"

"Macy, why wouldn't I talk to my family about this?"

"I dunno." She shrugged.

I laugh.

Then someone comes up behind me and squeezes my sides.

"Shit!" I scream from being scared.
I turn around and see Caden on the ground laughing his ass off with the pleasure of scaring me.

"Why would you do that? You almost gave me an heat attack!" I yell
"Sorry!" He says still laughing.

"It's not funny!" I say while holding back a laugh.

"It kinda is."
"Okay,okay maybe it's just a little
funny." I start to laugh with him.

He smiles at me, then I smile back at him.

"What's that?" He ask pointing to the brochure in my hand.

"It's a collage brochure for Miami!"

"Oh my god Cora that's great!"

"I know I know!" I say flipping my hair.

He laughs "Thats such great news!"

I toss the brochure in my track bag, put on my Pink sweatshirt, and pull off my spikes.

"So what was your time for the 800?"

"2.16" I smirk. "What was yours?"

"2.13!" He says excitedly. Holding his arms up triumphantly.

I laugh "You may have gotten method time Akal, but you just wait for next time!"

"Oh is that a bet?"

"It wasn't but we can make it into one!" I smirk.

"Ok, whoever looses has to run the 100 yard sprint at the next small meet." He laughs.

"But...but I'm not a sprinter and neither are you, one of us could get hurt!"

"Is Cora scared?" He says putting on a pouty face.

"No!" I say jumping up and shaking his hand to seal the deal.

"Fine just so you know I'm going to win!" He smirks.

"Whatever." I smirk back
