Tina slowly breathed in and exhaled as she got into position. She stared forward stretching her right half back. Then BANG! and Tina took off running. She surged forward and took the lead. She turned back to the competition and saw a girl coming up to her side. Her lungs burned as she pushed herself to go faster. She turned again to see the girl pass her on the right. Tina began to breathe in big gulps of air sparaticly trying desperately to go faster. She slowed as aching pain shot through her legs. Out of the corner of her eye another girl passed, and then another. Tina fell behind as the rest of competitors rushed past her and across the finish line. Tina wheezed, stumbling over the line and onto a bench. She chugged water down still breathing heavy. She shook her head, at this rate she would never get the scholarship. She hung her head, swiping sweat off her brow. "I wish I was faster" "You're wish is granted" Tina looked up confused and saw no one was paying attention to her. Weird she thought as she took another swig of water.
