His Answer

Chapter Nine

A/N: I will tone it down with POVs and just be direct. I'm sorry about the past chapters I hope you didn't mind. Anyways... Let's continue.

Kendal Persila

First day of October and I was excited about the clubs! I wondered if they will have a track n' field club cause' I would gladly join it! I went to school together with Elric and on the way, I asked him.

"So what club are you joining?"

"Well if there will be a swimming club then I'd join that." he replied.

Elric's answer made sense since he knows how to swim and with his body...

Upon daydreaming, we had arrived at school and it was busy. Students over and students over there, before checking out any clubs we went inside the classroom and we were informed by the class president that we were allowed to check out clubs that were run by students.

There was five clubs in total. First was the Brainiacs club, all geeks and nerds join that club. Second was Arts & crafts club, all artists and students that love to draw join that club. Third was The talented club, students that love to sing dance and many more joins that club. Fourth was Lively club, basically you save and care for mother nature and all living things. Fifth was the Sports club, where you can join any sports that you want which I plan on joining the track n' field club.

When I was done strolling around the school with Elric, both of us went to the Sports club which was in Room 3. I signed in and Elric also signed in. We were told to wait for further instructions from our assigned club adviser.

When we got instructions from our club adviser, me and Elric went our separate ways. After a meeting within the clubs, we were asked to go back to our designated classrooms for the class will resume.

After a long day of school, we were finally free to go.

NEXT DAY

The students already started to recruit other students to join their club and aslo the sports club started to recruit both boys and girls that were interested in joining. In the track n' field club, I was the only girl and was belittled by the boys for being a girl.

When Mr. Rico announced that we were allowed to start and train I was pumped. And when I was about to do some stretchings... a boy approached me. It was Daniel Emgrande, the one who belittled me earlier.

He approached me and said, "Hey shorty want to race?"

"Sure! Don't cry to mommy when you lose 'kay?" I retorted, wearing a smirk on my face.

"I would never." he replied.

"We'll see~"

Daniel's friend started the countdown and when we heard the go signal we raced. Daniel was off to a great start and was ahead of me, he glanced at his back and cackled. When I was finally getting serious, I caught up to him and we were neck in neck. I passed him and was ahead, when I was about to win he caught up and bumped into me.

I came flying out the track with my face flat. He then came up to me and said.

"See? I didn't lose." he cackled.

"..." I was silent.

I helped myself back up and saw a big scrape on my right knee. A male classmate noticed that I was injured, he hung my arm around his shoulder and when he was about to take me to the infirmary... A tall boy came running in the scene. It was Elric!

When he noticed that I was injured he told the boy who helped me that he will be the one to take me to the infirmary. And then he asked.

"Ken, what happened?" he was anxious.

"We were just racing." I chuckled nervously.

Because I knew that Elric will get mad if I told him the truth and I wouldn't want that. Cause' if he ever gets mad boi! Just run for your life.

When we finally arrived to the infirmary, he took the first aid kit and started to dress my wound. And when I thought he already forgot about what we talked about earlier before coming here... He asked me again.

"Ken, tell me what really happened." he was worried but also angry.

"Like I said, we were just racing..." I replied, averting my eyes from him.

"Fine if you don't want to tell me, then don't." he was discouraged.

I felt guilty and I told him what really happened.

"He did what!?" Elric exclaimed.

"Calm down Elric." I knew he'd snap.

"How can I calm down when he cheated during your silly race." he retorted.

"I know, I'm angry too but he's not worth it." I said

"Fine. If that's what you want." he finally calmed down.

"Thank you."

...

When the day was almost over... We had homeroom. Ms. Antonnette announced our second school event. Which was the Sports fest!

"Now students, have you settled down on your clubs?" she asked.

"Yes ma'am!" all of us nodded.

"Ok, good! For this month, our next school event is the Sports fest so all the students that are included in the sports club are going to spend most of their days and time to train and get ready for the upcoming Sports fest!" Ms. Antonnette said.

"That is all." she added.

We were all free to go home. And Elric helped me to my house.

FOLLOWING DAYS

These days were exhausting, we trained like crazy but we did still have fun. When it was our break time in the club, I would always ask my fellow clubmates to race with me. And of course, I would win. Boys started to praise me and even Daniel Emgrande started to warm up to me.

Daniel didn't underestimate me anymore. We even got along and started making up nicknames for each other. I call him Danny and he calls me Kenny.

And besides that, I was wondering how Elric is doing...

Elric Thanner

I finally joined the swimming club after Mr. Felix offered me to join. These days me and my clubmates were just practicing for a relay match. I was the one who is gonna swim the freestyle and three of my fellow clubmates knew how to swim the backstroke, breaststroke and the butterfly.

We just needed more practice but we still have plenty of time to get it right. The important thing is we're having fun. I wonder how Ken is doing...

TO BE CONTINUED.

A/N: Okay, for the following chapters it will be mostly Kendal's POV since I would be repeating everything all over again if I included Elric's POV and also the chapters are gonna be short. I hope you understand and thank you!
