Run your heart out!

Candie was running, and running, and running. She had to work hard. She had to make it on the team. She kept going till her legs gave out. Then she rested on the grass. She drank some water and ate a energy bar. She had to keep practicing. If she didn't she couldn't be free. Her mom (Rapunzel) had told her that she was a strong lady, but she had to show it. She needed to show her mom that she was strong.

((I can bring Akilah?))

((totally, i need a friend))

Candie grabs her water bottle and her pink gym bag and starts walking into the school. She needed a break and she had to get back to class. She checked her watch: 12:48. She rushed to her locker and grabbed her math books and rushed to Mr. Bennett's class.

((Do you mind if I respond to your first post and not the second one? It would seem weird for Aklilah to show up now if classes are about to start))

(( I'll skip the classes and then go back to the track. Does that seem okay? ))

((Yeah that's fine))

((kay))

After School

Candie puts all her books in her floral print backpack and heads back to the track. She runs and runs again and again. She can't wait for try-outs. She is feeling more confident in her feet movement. She hoped she made it. Then she would definitely get into Harvard.

Akilah was running on the track she couldn't wait for tryouts and hoped she would make it on the team even though she mostly likely would she was one of the fastest runners at the school.

While Candie was running she saw Akilah. They were in SS together. Was she trying out to?? She was fast, I hope they would both make it, but looking at Akilah, her chance was slimmer. While she kept on running she thought. Straight A's: Yes, A sport: Yes; track, swim and tennis, Instruments: Yes, More than she could count, Good student: Definitely. She really hoped she would make it into Harvard, her mom did and she wanted her mom to be proud of her.

Akilah stopped when she saw Candie "Hey!" She said "Fancy meeting you here. I didn't know you were trying out for the track team." She said stretching out her legs some more "Do you run long distance or are you a sprinter?" She asked

"Both." Candie replies, then asks, "Are you trying out? Because you are really fast."

"Oh yeah m definitely trying out." She said "I'm personally a sprinter "thanks!" She said brightly "Hopefully we'll both get on the team." She said

"I hope so. So... Do you wanna race?" Candie asks.

((if you say yes, who do you wanna win?))

"Yeah sure how far are we runnin?" She asked


((Depend on the distance))

"How about a 250m run." Candie replies.

"Alright let's do it." She said jogging to the start of where they would usually begin the 200m dash.


((Akilah would probably win because she's two years older than Candie))

"Okay." Candie replies and starts to get ready.

((she's 17? but Candie has been running since 5 so...))

((gtgt sleep. ttyl as in tomorrow. Sound okay?))

((Yup she's 17 and it really wouldn't matter because Akilah's legs would be more developed and she's been training for a while now))

"Do you need starting blocks?" She asked as she grabbed hers and started to set them up.

"Um...Sure." Candie replies nervously.

((kay, cool))

"Alright." She said after she finished setting hers up "You've used starting blocks before right?" She asked

"Yea. Ready?" Candie asks

"Definitely." She said getting settled into her blocks "Do you want me to count down or should we do it together?" She asked

((what does that mean. Sorry))

((Autocorrect does it make more sense now?))

((yea, so what were you trying to say?))

((Can you update))

((Um countdown so they don't start at different times))

((kay))

"We can do it together." Candie says and gets into position.

"Alright then. On your mark, get set, Go!"" They said at the same time and Akilah was off running smoothly around the corner then down the straightaway and halfway around the second corner.

Candie was gliding through the track. She had done this a bunch of times and this was another practice for her.

((is it ok if I join u? ))

((have to ask Jess, but okay with me. I'll tell you when the right time is though. kay?))

((KK THANKS :D))

((Yup it's totally ok if you join))

((THANKS:D))

((welc))

Candie was head in head with Akilah. In the last 2m. She sprinted for the finish line but Akilah won by a mew inches. Candie's heart dropped, she would never make it in. Her practice was useless. She grabbed her water bottle and swung her bag over her shoulders. She wasn't a sore loser, she just was a disappointed loser. A LOSER. That word kept repeating in her head.

((Skye, you can join now.))

((kk thanks))

Kristal, like usual, was wandering. She saw Candie and Akilah racing, so she decided to watch.

She rushed back to her locker and dropped down her gym bag. She was not going to give up just yet though.

Kristal saw Candie leave, so she went to go talk to her

"Oh, hey Kristal." Candie says sadly.

"Hey Candie. You are very good at running. I bet you could make the team if you wanted." Kristal said

"Yea, whatever. I go to the pool. You can come along if you want." Candie says and dreadfully drags her swim bag to the pool.

"What's wrong?" Kristal asked. She had never seen Candie sad.

"Nothing." Candie snapped by accident. "I'm sorry. I'm just a little stressed."

"It's ok. We all get stressed. Come with me. I can calm you down." Kristal said

((Hey guys can you wait for me to post before you guys continue?))
