“Urrgh”I groaned as I slumbered out of bed,waking up to an unpleasant idea”Cross Country.I thought I was going insane. When I had reached the school,I moaned”OhhNoo!!!!I FORGOT MY SICK NOTE””. I just have to man up and do it,but a feeling of pain came over me just thinking about cross country.
Fortunately I looked at the weather thinking it was about to rain. Suddenly a shock of suprise came when I saw everyone in lines dressed in 4 colours of blue,green,yellow and red. So I lined up in my team line Te Arawa and moaned even more when it was going from oldest to youngest.
I was really nervous and apprehended about this race:What if I collap....”before I could finish my sentence,a big clap of thunder from two blocks of wood started the race. I just jogged but seemed to to be coming fourth.Things started geting better until we passed the first tree,then I was dead last,behind everyone.This was a nightmare.I dont want to be known as a slow boy who never tries. That thought kept me motivated.
Out of nowhere I was halfway through the coarse,but out of the 50 competitors I was coming 25th.”Only 25 more competitors to go,until I come first”.I felt like I was Usain Bolt but even faster than him. By the time I passed the 3 quarter mark of the race,I was 4th.So proud of myself I caught up to the top 3 racers.
It was a sprint to the finish. I got past third and second,just one more to beat. Could I make it or not?Just five metres away.Come on you can do it. The crowd went as wild as zoo animals on the loose. Zoom!!.What a finish. Checking it on a slo mo replay,it shows that my foot reached the line before my competitor.
I was happy but also reluctant.By passing the finish line with so much pressure on me, I said”Ohh Noo I forgot I had asthma”.I was choking like a snake wrapped tight around a mans neck.But suddenly I realized I didnt have asthma.By that thought I awoke from my dreams.”Urrghhh!!!!Whats today”.”CROSS COUNTRY NOOOOO!!!!!!.
