Chapter 4

(Chapter 2 and 3 were basically explaining the lives of the main characters. We saw bits of their lives, their families and more. From this chapter, the story will continue normally)

"Another morning that I am competing with time!" Willow thought as she was running as fast as she could to school. She finally reach school and went inside, no one paying attention to her. Today was the day she would meet with the gym teacher, to inform her about the competition but also watch their practice before joining them. "I am a bit excited..."Willow thought the whole time she was at school. Even though the time seem to stay still, it was another school day that came to an end. Emily went back home with their dad and Willow stayed back, using studying at the library as an excuse.

"Haha such a handy excuse" Willow said laughing.

She quickly made her way to the gym, anticipation in her eyes, she was feeling something Inside her that she couldn't describe and she liked it.

"Wills! You are here! " The teacher said and run up to her. "So let's talk about the competition!" He said as he guided her to the other students.

"In this competition you will be tested in your strength, running time, swimming, which was added this year and also some other small activities. There will be the first round, semi-finals and the finals. We will be training once a week but if it's needed we will train for two or even three times. This is an important event, since there will be people who own companies, such as ones regarding safety (Bodyguards), and they will choose students who look promising. This is a chance you shouldn't miss kids. " The teacher said, passion in his voice. He was happy he got to train kids and make their dreams come true.

"Oh, we can't forget Willow. She will be a new member. I am sure you know her for her tops grades both in my subject but also to the other ones. I hope you will get along!" He continued and clapped his hands.

After a while of talking he told her to sit down so she could see the training. Firstly they did some running, Willow knew she was natural in this. Then endurance and swimming. Only a few were in good shape, the others were falling behind.

"So if it's ok with you, would you like to try the training, while the others rest?" Alex, the gym teacher, asked Willow.

"Sure, i have a bit of time" Willow said and got up, she made some moves trying to warm up and got ready.

"Eh...A bit of time? We almost took two hours. I can already tell she is arrogant..." Some students said but Willow didn't mind them.

"Ok...Ready...Set...Go!!!" He yelled at Willow, who disappeared in a few seconds and she was back in one and a half minute. "Hahaha....Wills you got some good running time!" Alex said and laughed, proud of his student. She passed quickly the other activities and she was done pretty fast.

"Oh no...we are doomed" the other students whispered, indeed Willow was probably by far the best. No one could match her speed and strength.

"Every Monday we will training. You obviously don't need it, but at least for a while stick around for advice. The competition is in a month.Good job!" Alex said and patted lightly her back.

"It's weird to hear someone tell me those things...

But anyway, so it's in a month...." Willow thought to herself. She was thrilled even though she didn't let it show.
