Last place again…
I got last place again in today's race. Way below average again. The track seems to get longer and longer, how do they manage such speed for such a long time… I feel so tired, it's like I did a loop around the globe.
"Group 1, you all can rest now. Group 2 please get yourselves ready."
Picking the spot to sit down a little further from everyone, I continue to think on how.
How does the rest of the class maintain this speed, am I missing something? Is there something I don't know? I'm gonna pay attention to the next group, maybe I can learn something from them.
"Group 2, on your marks…"
Seems like everyone is preparing the same way. That girl with light pink hair on the back though, She doesn't seem very well. It feels like any little gust of wind would knock her over or send her flying.
"Get set…GO!"
Everyone jumps forward as soon as the go was released, from this start alone, it was possible to dictate the ones faster than the others. They would jump forward with such strength that it would create such a massive gap between them and the rest. They seem clear minded as well, nothing but maintaining their pace courses through their minds. It's truly a spectacle… Hm?
The pink girl, she's struggling a lot, if she keeps running like she will forsure tri-
THUMP
Aaaand she falls as expected. That looked like it hurt, a pretty bad fall, I hope she's alright. I was not the only one that thought that, seems the whole class is discussing that.
"Everyone, please stop the race!" The teacher says with desperation.
"Chie, is everything okay? Can you still get up?"
"I-I'm fine miss-"
"I'll Get someone to guide you to the nurses office, don't force yourself too much."
"Everything is oka-"
The teacher quickly and efficiently looked around, at all the students to pick one to bring her there.
"Seiko!"
As luck would have it, I was picked between all of them. I guess sitting away from everyone else wasn't good camouflage either.
"Seiko, can you help her get to the nurse's office?"
"Yes miss!"
