Chapter 2

The teacher left and everyone in class then begun discussing, what are the 10 competitions anyway. "Hey guys, are you intending to compete? Seems a lot more fun if all 3 of us joined! " Suggested Sophy. "I dont know.. what were the competitions again?" i replied. "Ok class, we should discuss this now since we have free time, the competitions are track running, long jump, archery, basketball, football (soccer), baseball, swimming, volleyball and tennis. Who should we choose to represent, and since we're discussing, raise your hand if you intend to join and select which one, if there are more than 1 who wants to compete in the same competition, then we'll do a selection, this is excluding track as it needs 1 girl and 1 boy, " spoke the class president. "Oh, I wanna join, I wanna choose baseball! " answered Sophy immediately. "Alright we have one, anyone else? " asked the class president. "Me too, I'll choose swimming" answered another classmate after Sophy. The class then started raising their hands and selecting which they want to compete in. "Alright, is that it, or is there anyone else? we still have no one in archery and track running, " asked the class president. "Hmm, Mandy, what will you choose?" i asked. "Im not quite sure, what will you pick? " she replied. "Probably archery? I'm quite precise" i answered. "Is there anyone else? " asked the class president again. "Oh, I'll join the archery competition" answered Mandy almost instantly. "Alright, now we need a boy and a girl for track running? who will it be guys? " replied the calss president. "Mandy? Why'd you choose archery so suddenly? " i asked confused. "What? I was planning on joining the archery competition in the first place" answered Mandy. Well, that was weird, if she had planned it first, why would she ask me on what i would choose? Strange but ok then. "Nobody? Really guys? If there are no volunteers then i will pick 2 random names, if i pick them, no complaints" suggested the class president. The class was still silent, nobody raised their hands or replied. "Alright then, i guess I'll choose randomly, let's see.. " said the class president while squinting his eyes. "Ah, the new girl, Luna! You're competing, " said the class president. Me?? I dont think i can run that fast to be able to compete in the competition, but the class president said no complaints.. deep breaths Luna, you must try, for our class, hopefully the other person that got picked is someone who's good and not Aster- "ASTER! WHY ARE YOU LATE? " shouted the class president, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Pssh, whatever, you guys aren't doing anything anyways, why should i care? " replied Aster mockingly. "Well, if that's the case, we got our last person to compete, Aster, you're competing in the track running competition, no complaints, " said the class president. "What? You're seriously making me compete? Fine, whatever" said Aster a bit pissed. "So that means it's final, we have ourselves the representative of the competitions" said the class president.

He then continued with the list of names who joined and who needs to be selected. "For volleyball, we have Sophy. For archery, we have Mandy. Finally for track running, we have Aster and Luna, it's all set" stated the class president. "What? It's bad enough you're forcing me to compete in track running, now you're making me get paired up with this shorty? " complained Aster, "Like seriously, out of EVERYONE, why'd you choose her? What in your right mind thought that it was a good idea for her to join, huh?". "Seriously? I'm not that bad, and besides, are you too chicken to be paired with someone like me? " I mocked him. "Chicken? Who are you calling chicken? Do you know who I am? " Answered Aster. "Uh no? Obviously, i just transferred here like almost a year ago? What's so special about you anyway that you had to pull the" do you know who I am? " Card, like what? You think you're so special" I answered. "Uhm actually, he is 'special', before your joined, he won first place in track running in the first year of middle school," said the class president. "Heh, the truth has came out, what? cat's got your tongue?" said Aster mockingly while leaning a bit closer to me. "You wish, like i said, how am i supposed to know? Actually, since you were the first place track runner, let's put it to the test at the competition, i bet i'll be much faster than you" i suggested. "Ohoho, you sure about that? What if i win?" he replied. "I'll do whatever you want from me as long as I can do it" I answered, "So, what if I win?". " The same as yours, I'll do whatever you want from me" said Aster.
