His Runner

"Ready"

"Steady"

The whistle echoed through the yard, signalling for everyone to start running.

The wind blew west like the growling waves of the ocean hitting hard on the shore. I increased the pace of my running, fighting the breeze that was blowing hard on my face. I could barely keep my eyes open, due to the cold, damp air hitting off my eyes. The roaring sound of the thunderstorm could be heard through the lightening speed of my legs. I loved this moment. It was just perfect. There were no worries, no school... Absolutely nothing to take over this feeling. I knew it wouldn't last forever but it was enough to make my day.

I zoned out of the world that was around me and only focused on what was ahead of me. The happiness, feeling of satisfaction took over me when I saw that I was ahead of everyone else. I loved that feeling. A giant smile made its way on my face as I raced faster toward the finishing line. I was almost there... I closed my eyes to feel the wind take over my body.... Almost...

I felt someone's breathing level with mine, breathing faster as they made their way closer behind me. I shot my eyes open to see a shadow appearing closer and closer. My head turned to the side to see a medium height girl, with long brown hair tied up in a ponytail. Small, yet legible curls rested beyond her shoulder blades. I was met with light brown eyes, gazing back at me before they passed ahead to be in lead in the race.

I forced myself to run faster than I possibly could, dragging my feet closer and closer towards the finishing line. We were racing at the same pace, our shoulders in level with each other. I had to win this race... I just had to.
