This was just a random idea I had so… ya. Hope you enjoy it!

Emmett's POV
It was gym class on
Friday. I was celebrating internally, flouncing around in my glorious
Friday World, and crept up beside Edward. Of course he could hear me,
but he pretended not to and was probably trying to block my thoughts
out. Right as he was about to swing at the birdie he and Pixie-girl
were passing back and forth, I yelled right in his ear.
"TGIF!" I screamed, and several of the lame-o humans turned to
look but I didn't really notice all too much. Edward's head
snapped towards me in a split split second. Instead of hitting the
birdie with his racket, (which he could've done with his eyes
closed) he slammed it into my shoulder and the impact smashed its
netting and part of the frame. Its handle broke and most of the
racket ended up clattering around on the polished wood floor.
"PLASTIC!" Coach Clapp yelled at him, not bothering to look
over to see what happened, only hearing his precious racket fall to
the floor. I chuckled as Edward trudged back over to the racket rack
(ha ha I'm so funny) and get an "indestructible" plastic racket
with only the rubbery, black handle of his old racket in his hand. I
could feel the violent pangs of furry radiating from him that was
mixed in with a little bit of hidden humor.
Alice came
over and swept up the pieces of the broken racket before the humans
could really comprehend pretty much anything of what had happened.
After a couple minutes, Coach told us to put all the badminton stuff
away and that we were starting a new fitness unit! Yay! I was very
excited because, common, who doesn't LOVE fitness? I mean, besides
Bella, but she's a total clutz-o. (I've hereby decided that if
you but an o at the end of any word, it makes it cooler.)
We all
filed outside because for once, it wasn't raining. Coach led us to
the track and told us to just walk of jog around for a while. (Coach
isn't exactly the most organized man.) The whole family jogged
around together, picking the fastest kid in the gym class and keeping
a safe and steady distance behind him. It wasn't very fun,
especially since after around ten minutes; everybody started slowing
down because somehow they were tired. I felt like we were in the
middle of a very slow herd of cows.
I tapped Ed's
shoulder and told him we were going to have a little fun.
"Let's race!" I told him. He just laughed in my face! How
rude!
"You'd never win!" he replied.
"Oh
yeah? Right here, right now!" I screamed at him. The slowing group
of high-school students seemed to be interested in our little charade
and someone had the guts to yell "Race! Race! Race!"
"Fine." Edward muttered. I noticed we were suddenly in front of
the not-so-fast-but-still-the-fastest-kid-in-our-gym-class kid and
that all the lame-o humans were walking now.
"Okay," I
announced, loud enough that even the humanoids could hear. "3...
2... 1... GO!" And we started running a little faster than before.
I could hear Rose muttering "Not smart, not smart, not smart..."
Behind us but I was never known for being very smart so I continued
running.
Edward and my race started off with a bang I was a little
annoyed that I couldn't run faster than human speed at the moment
and show off what I was really made of. I ran a little in front of
Edward than I little behind him, making revving racecar noises as we
went around the track. Our speed was slowly escalating and I put on a
little evil, determined grin as we took turns outrunning each other.
Before you'd know it, we'd gone around the track and
lapped our slow and slightly awed peers. Not running them over was a
little bit of an unexpected added challenge. We were still only
running about as fast as the best Olympic runners on Earth so I sped
up a little, of course I wasn't tired in the slightest bit. Ed and
I broke through the fine line of human and... well non-human. I
longed to go faster but I heard a shrill whisper that was so high in
dog rang that there was no way humans could hear it. For sure it was
Alice telling us to stop. Edward and I slowed to a jog and I felt
like a landing airplane. On an impulse, I stretched my arms out and
made airplane sound effects.
"Naaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" I yelled "Crash!" I
let my feet slip through the gravel on the track and skidded to a
stop. A couple people had the guts to applause- one of which was the
same one who'd encouraged us to race.
We just walked the
rest of gym, pretending to be tired. When class was over, Ed, Jazz,
and I were about to head for the locker room where the guys would
give us envious looks wishing they could be as jacked as us...
especially me... when Coach Clapp pulled us aside.
"You
men were amazing runners out there today!" Coach appraised. "And...
I'm sure you're great too... Jasper." Edward let out one quick
laugh then badly disguised it as a cough.
"He thinks you're
emo." He said under his breath, vampire quick. The atmosphere
immediately got intense and angry and made me want to kill people so
I stepped on Jazz's foot with much force.
"Anyways...
I was going to recommend you join the track team! I think you boys
probably would have a shot at the Olympics!" OMG! I thought. THE
OLYMPICS!
"YESSSsssssssssss!" I hissed. We were going
to the Olympics!
I just wanted to add that the plastic racket thing is something Jane and my gym teacher always does when you drop a racket!
