Cross Country

In creep cautiously into my room and roll slowly onto my bed as I enhance the warm blankets towards me. My new teddy bear is all pleasant and ready… MY SICK BUCKET. Substantially my stomach is turning like a rollercoaster. I am as light as a balloon as that forces me to drift, I feel wavy… eerie, kooky… I have drifted off!!!

“Ahhh where am I!!” I awaken. The year 6 boys are revved up like a pack of wolves, I am just touching the fading starting line as we are last to race. ‘BOO EE!!” The hooter like a splinter in my ear. It is ridiculously noisy!! The pack was away like some vicious hounds chasing an innocent man. My arms are chugging back and forth madly. I am bulging past people as if I deserve to be!! The sludgy mud is almost eating every step I take which is gradually slowing me down. The sun is rising tall and strong what a great day for cross country. The mighty bold first hill has challenged me.

I am off to a firm start. As I was starting to pledge along the track I have realised I’m first with a victorious lead!! My numb feet are constantly been bitten by sneaky bugs one after another!! The rancid mud is making our track like a farmyard. Still I am apprehensive of the journey ahead.

Soon enough I was calming down as I am scooting my way along as I know I have space and time. I am going quickly towards the over dressed finishing shoot, for now casually for now. Looking back anxiously I am happy to see me with a lead, a small lead. “WOW!!” I yelp!! Daichi is just behind me. I am lumbering towards the finish line as now it seemed purposeful to do so!! The rank mud is like a brown slush on our school field it’s slowing my sprint down terribly. My lungs are gasping now as I feel the ripping apart. I just slide in front of Diachi as I am proud!! My leg is coated with few coats of brown mud after the tense journey. I have the strong smelling sturdy vivid on my head saying 1!! I feel strong and bold and especially undefeatable!!

I feel crotchety as I have crumbled up my eyes as they release gently and steadily. I am exhausted. I am able to see my silky blue bed, my blankets that feel chilly like a cold winter morning. I think for a sudden moment… I feel miserable in some way which I can’t explain. I feel terribly dizzy now. I have another thinking moment… “Ahhh, Did I win!!” I mumble “OH!! But, OH NO!!” Right at that moment I leap out of bed realising what I have miserably feared!!

Having sickness on the day of cross country!!
