I woke up thinking it was a
normal day. Mum called, “it’s breakfast time, Ella!” I stumbled out of bed.
Charlie was chatting away about his lego ship.
“It’s cross country!”
I shivered.
I shivered.
“It… it… it’s… cro…ss…
country?!”
I picked the last blueberry
out of my bowl.
“Yes,” said Mum as I put my
bowl up at the bench.
After I had gotten dressed,
brushed my hair and was getting my shoes on I had butterflies in my tummy. We
arrived at school, did the roll, and got our bags on. You can do it! I thought
to myself.
The bus pulled up. The closer
we got the more nervous I got.
3 hours later…
3…2…1… GO! Suddenly everyone
zoomed past leaving me behind. 7…8…6…5…4! 4th! I have never run this fast before!
“Here come the bushes!” I was in the forest now.
I stumbled over a big root and I hurt my ankle. I kept on going. The air smelt
musty. I felt a pain going down my back. Then I saw a clearing and heard people
clapping. Tenth now. In a few minutes I was over the fence and had crossed the
finish line! I waited for Sophia and clapped when I saw her.
