Life is a race

Chapter 3

Guess what!

The next day-
Ring! Ring! The lunch bell rings. I go to sit down beside Heather and some other girls. Guess what! Heather whispers as I sit down. "I have a crush on this guy." "What guy?" I ask. She points to the table in the middle of the room. People call it the jockey table. It's where all the sports guys sit. "Which one?" I ask. "The one right there with the brown hair and blue eyes. His name is Cameron! " My stomach twisted and turned. I kinda felt jealous. I think I might like him! What do I say to Heather? " Wow, why DO you like him?" "He's HOT!" She answered. "Shouldn't you like him for his personality not his looks." I say. "Even though his is HOT." The bell rings to finish lunch. I rush off to science to get away from Heather. I wish she didn't like him because I kinda like him and I think he likes me. That will make her upset! I sit down in my chair. "All right class, show me your writing from yesterday." I take out my paper. "With your help I'll actually do good in science" I say to Cam. "It's no problemo" I giggle. Okay "I'll read and mark them tonight and hand them back tomorrow" says Miss Deterky. Cameron hands me a note saying " I really like you and I've liked you since you were in grade 6 and I was in grade 8. I know we are two years apart but that doesn't matter. I just wanted to know if you like me back" OMG I do like him back but what about Heather? I wrote a note saying "We'll talk after school" "Okay class dismissed!" Now it's gym. I walked to the gym. Cameron was walking behind me talking to his friends. "Okay class, today we will start our running unit. We will work on starts, stretching, passing, breath and etc." Riley come here" He says. I walk over nervously. "Show me two different starting positions." Okay I say. First I do a standing up one which I do perfectly then after I do a kneeling one. Coach claps afterward and I feel proud and confident. Cam winks at me. I don't get why he winks at me like that! It's weird. Coach tells everyone to practice those poses. Then we have a race with the whole class. We go outside. Line up. Put our toes in the line. "GO" coach yells. And we're off! Right at the start I'm ahead off everyone except Cam, Donald and Jake. I pass Jake then Cam. We are getting close to the end when Donald speeds up. I speed up and then right before the finish I pass him making him second place and as for me, first. The school bell rings and everyone pats me on the back.
