Right.

He chose right.

That was the right decision, right?

He asked himself as he sprinted his way past people of all kind through the park.

He passed by a kid his age playing the guitar on the bench. Passed another kid trying so hard to attempt to flirt with a girl, but clearly she wasn't interested.

He even sped past a group of university students gathered around the middle of the park for an event.

He kept running until he stopped in the middle of the woods where he was surrounded by nothing but trees. It was in this moment he knew that the inevitable had happened.

He got lost.

He sighed as he sat on the log that was right behind him as he took another deep breath and checked his watch.

Three minutes.

He had only three minutes left, but since he was lost he felt hopeless. He tirelessly rubbed his face with his hands as he felt anxious about going back to his parents telling them he couldn't make it in on time

He would never be able to hear the end of it.

He decided that he should still try to get to the tournament and hope that they'll let him compete despite being late. He'll beg if he had to, he thought.

As he was about to get up, he felt something hit his head.

"Ow!" He whispered, rubbing the side of his head that felt the impact.

He looked at the ground to see what hit him as he picked up the object.

”An apple?" He asked himself.

Soon afterwards another one fell on him and that was when he finally looked up, startled to see a girl about his age sitting on top of a tree.

The girl eventually looked down and smiled brightly when she saw him. She waved her hand to him as she held onto the branch while dangling her legs.

"Hey you!" She shouted and he shook his head, slightly taken back.

"I'm kind of stuck here! Do you mind helping me out?"
