AMANDA'S POV
(Amanda Aderinsola Akinde)

I blow a kiss at Nana when she meets my gaze, hoping to ease the tension she feels a little. The Nancy I know doesn't usually feel tensed before a race, that makes me a tad bit worried

Shaking off any negative thoughts from my mind, I set the two phones in position, ready to capture the entire race as planned. They stand in their respective lanes, Nana's stance the most regal and confident among the other runners despite the initial jitters she felt

SHOOT

All eight girls took off with unbelievable speeds, Nancy giving an obvious distance to those coming behind her. My lips twitch up in pride as I watch her, trying not to cheer to loud because I'd have to suffer the cringe that comes with listening to one's voice in a recording

My eyes involuntarily wander to where he is, his loud cheer voice making it impossible for me to ignore and focus only on the videos being captured. I watch his side profile as he sticks two of his fingers in his mouth, letting out a loud whistle- his competitive side is kinda cute

What? I'm not going to deny that he's a fine specimen

I tear my eyes off him the same moment the worst thing happens, she crashes into the ground- more like she dives actually- with her body thrown into a halt right before the finish line

Jesus Christ

Panic floods through my senses, pushing my limbs to run quicker than I have ever into the track, my mouth immediately running dry as beads of sweat cascade down my face.

"Idara"

The gruesome sight of her bloodied shin causes bile to rise in my throat as I move closer- a major reason I never considered anything in the medical profession

Her face is contorted in the worst way possible, giving out a combination of the emotions she felt all at the same time

"Oh my God" The words leave my lips when I notice the ankle she fell on, probably dislocated or worse

She lets out a gut-wrenching scream as we try to get her off the track, her cries getting even louder and unbearable to watch as she writhes in pain. It's not until I feel the salty taste of my own tears that I realize that I have also started crying

Eddy pushes past me slightly, offering assistance to carry her to the clinic while I just stand there feeling useless and weak

"Don't they have a fucking stretcher?" Erling yells to no one in particular, with a frantic Nana suspended in air by the two boys

The students around gather while some stand afar to watch, none really offering any real assistance asides students of our school running helter skelter in search for either the Teacher on duty or one of our coaches.
