Prologue.
The bell rang. Class has ended for the day.
High school kids poured out of classrooms, either rushing to get home or to loiter around the school until one of the teachers yelled at them to leave or be met with after school clean up duty.
Those who were planning on joining the track team, however, were to meet up in Coach Lily's classroom after school, which is what Miku Hatsune was doing today for the first time in three years.
As a kid, she had a strong passion for running, going as far as to call her a prodigy. So, what did her parents do? They stuck her in a club track team, where she drove them to win many meets and come back with country championship title. Short as she was, Miku was known as a cheetah on the track.
Unfortunately, that didn't last. In the eighth grade, her parents divorced, with her mother winning custody over her (unfortunately the family pet went to dad, never to be seen again). Due to finances, moving, and switching schools, Miku was forced to let go of track. Lost in the notion of believing she was the reason her parents split, she fell into a depressive state that no amount of running could push away, so she stopped running altogether.
Standing outside of Lily-sensei's room, she figured that didn't last forever, either. It was almost unbelievable. She, Miku Hatsune, is actually going to come out and join the track team? Her last year of high school, where she has to focus on college entrance exams, her duty as concertmaster, and now this. If she was being honest with herself, she probably wasn't ready for this. The track team here, besides the small town, was notorious for giving rival track teams a run for their money. Last year they were titled country champions, fifth time in a row.
It's now or never, she told herself, and slowly started stepping towards the room.
Hello, if you know me already, which most don't, I've sprung inspiration again, and I've been wanting to work on my writing skill again. Here's to my edited prologue. Enjoy.
