heather vs duckman, round I.
funny story. at least, i laughed.
so we have to run a lap in pe, manditory. today, schmitz decided to take us to the extreme, and make two laps the minimum. gasp! i wanted to run more than that, of course. because once i've started running--why bother to stop until you've actually covered some good distance? mica, once more, chickened out. whore! i vaguely remember exersizing being a new year's resolution for you mica... but you know what, whatever. this is not my first journey as a solo wolf.
as i began my third lap, i heard someone behind me. there were a lot of people around, seeing as i was now running with the freshman herd. but this someone seemed different. their steps were loud and flat-sounding. i realized, it was probably someone wearing vans. sucks for them. as the crowd thinned out, most of them falling behind, the duck-like smack of flat shoes on the track was still close behind. i figured it was some kid with a turned-up nose and too quick of legs for his own good, so i didn't bother to glance back. he wouldn't be bothering me anytime soon.
oh, how wrong i was!
coming up alongside me was someone who i was familiar with by sight. i danced with him once in the dance unit, he held my hand hard, but it was like he didn't even really grip. dancing with him was like dancing with some sort of stone, life-sized emo barbie doll. did i mention his flippy emo hair? well, yeah. that's what people know him for.
he was making to pass me. i'd seen him run before. it was hard not to, he was usually close to first if not first coming in on the freshman lap. no, something in me just wouldn't let that happen. he got ahead by an inch, momentarily, but then i pulled forward. yes! i win! he fell from beside me, and i truly thought i was okay.
sadly, at the last TEN METERS--it had to be less than that--he cheated and passed me real quick. freaking sprinting. i was like "loser, whatever, i'm finished with my lap anyways" in my head.
because, honestly. who would take something so serious like he did? i mean, jeez.. >_>
