My hands felt frozen stiff as sweat dripped down my face. The sun beat down on me as my mouth got dry. My legs moved in a swift motion, as I heard people scream my name. It was time to show the world the athlete I truly was. One more lap. 6:20. Last race, last chance. I had 40 seconds to run this lap, if I wanted to be champion of the girls track team. Piece of cake rite? No... Not really. I ran full speed and let my feet carry me to the finish line. Meg on my tail, Miley trailing behind us, and the rest of the girls a few feet behind Miley panting, and racing towards the clock. 10 seconds, 3 feet away, 6:50. RUN SELENA RUN. And that my friends is when the unexpected happened. I won. My body sliced through the red rope as i collapsed onto the ground. Charlie ran up to me with a bottle of ice cold water and a towel. I gulped it down, stood up and turned around to see a furious Meg behind me. But before I could say anything Miley ran up and hugged me screaming about how I had conquered the world, and how she really needed some food. Miley was my best friend, and she always needed food. She could crack me up, in the hardest times. And that's all I needed in a friend. Laughing I gave her a quick nod, pointed towards Charlie and motioned him to get his brother and the car. My throat felt dry and words felt to be stuck in my throat. I couldn't take another step, and held onto Miley for dear life. Running gives me a thrill don't get me wrong, but it's the feels I get after that, that I seem to have a problem with. I held out my hand, and Charlie rolled eyes. I smiled and climbed onto his back, piggy back rides are the best.
"Ew. Wtf Selena, your sticky and sweaty. This is disgusting."
******(And yes there are curse words in this story but I promise it's going to be limited) (continue shall we?)******
I rolled my eyes and slapped his back.
"Let's go!" I whispered as loud as I could. He nodded and ran towards the car. Charlie was the fastest runner in the school, boy and girls. So a one mile run for him was 5 mins of his time. When he put we down and told his brother Jeremy to keep an eye on me as he went to go her Miley, I noticed he didn't break one sweat. Crazy IKR.
***********5 minutes later ***********
"So Olive Garden? Or maybe Red Lobster? OR CHIPOTLE?" Miley screeched while we sat in the car.
"No Miley. I want uh how about we go to Taco Bell." Charlie piped in.
"Guys. Listen. I'm the senior here, and you guys are going to do as. I say. Why don't you let Selena choose, considering she is the winner this time around?"
"Thank you Jeremy. To Pizza Hut we go."
The car was filled groans and complaints but Jeremy kept driving, and I shut my eyes and thought back to my first day of high school. It's crazy right? How time flies. And before you know it, you're off to college. Making your mark on the world. I made my name in this high school. I showed them that I wasn't just a girl that had a great fashion sense, but a girl that can work. 2 more weeks till high school was over, and this race, this last chance, gave me my moment of glory. Showed me that maybe I can conquer high school and let me tell you something, that confidence is what got me through my first day of high school. And that my friends is how my journey began. It was my last before my new first. A fresh start. There were only two things on my mind this summer . College and grades. That was it. But seriously this is high school summer vacations can that honestly be it? I know I may be exaggerating but hey what can I do? I'm a 18 year old girl with mood swings and hormonal changes, and this is high school. I can do whatever the fuck I want.
"Out losers." Mike laughed as he pushed his brother out of the car.
"Love you too mike." I say as I roll my eyes and open the car door.
Charlie and Miley laugh but get out of the car nonetheless.
"Okay queen B you want some lemonade?" Charlie asks me as we are directed to our table.
"Do you even have to ask?" I respond tucking my hair behind my ear.
It was all going to be okay.
Or so I thought.
